Singapore authorities are investigating a Hong Kong principal after he was seen swearing at security guards during a student trip to the city state, with his secondary school saying sorry for the dispute that sparked “public concern and unease”.
In response to queries from the South China Morning Post, Singapore police said Sunday evening that they had received a report and that investigations were under way.
San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School in Tuen Mun apologised that night for the incident last Friday involving its principal, Lee Cheuk-hing.
“On the afternoon of May 22, 2026, an incident occurred during our school’s Singapore exchange tour due to a parking dispute, causing public concern and unease,” the school’s incorporated management committee said in a statement.
“The school expresses its deepest apologies regarding this matter. The school and its sponsoring body have always placed the utmost importance on the professional conduct of our faculty and staff.”
The school added that it had contacted the travel agency involved to better understand the situation and would conduct a thorough investigation. A letter would be sent to teachers, students and parents to provide a detailed account.
