Hong Kong Principal Filmed Arguing With Security Guards in Singapore

A video recorded last Friday shows Lee Cheuk-hing, principal of San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School in Tuen Mun, arguing with two security guards in Singapore. The footage depicts Lee shouting phrases including “impolite,” “shut up,” and “go away,” along with swearing in Cantonese, during a dispute over parking for the school group’s bus.

The two female guards are shown pointing their fingers while appearing visibly upset.

Comments posted after the video spread focused on Lee’s conduct.

Some viewers described the language as unprofessional and discourteous. Other comments noted a difference in tone between Lee’s exchange with the South Asian guards and his interaction with a passer-by who appeared ethnically Chinese. Dr John Tse, executive director of Hong Kong Initiative for Diversity, stated that it is difficult to determine whether the behaviour was racially motivated.
