A Hong Kong school trip to Singapore has become an unexpected talking point back home after a video of a principal losing his temper went viral.
The incident saw Lee Cheuk-hing of San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School in Tuen Mun, in Hong Kong’s New Territories, take part in a heated exchange with security personnel outside a venue in the city state over coach parking arrangements.
In full view of students and colleagues, an agitated Lee used several ill-chosen – some would say vulgar – Cantonese expressions and even pulled faces at two non-Chinese security guards.
The footage spread quickly across Hong Kong’s social media, drawing attention less to the dispute itself than to the manner in which it unfolded.
