HK principal fired over swearing incident seeks legal advice


A school principal from Hong Kong who was seen in a video swearing at security guards at SAFRA Jurong during a school trip to Singapore is seeking legal advice on his employment rights.

This comes after the school rejected his resignation on June 3 and requested his “immediate dismissal”, according to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report.

Lee Cheuk-hing, the former principal of San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School, said on June 5 that he had appointed legal representatives to review his dismissal after his contract was terminated without compensation, the SCMP reported on June 7.

The Hong Kong-based news outlet said Lee expressed “shock and regret” over his dismissal on June 3.

Former lawmaker and school manager Edmund Wong said the school board had not received any formal statement from Lee, the SCMP reported.

Wong also said the board would take its own legal steps if Lee brought in representatives to challenge his dismissal, the English-language newspaper added.

In the video posted on the Threads social media platform on May 23, a man standing at the doorway of a bus is seen arguing with two women on the street who are wearing SAFRA security uniforms.
