Overview
- A video from the May 22 school trip in Singapore shows a man identified as Lee Cheuk-hing swearing at SAFRA security staff during a bus dispute and prompted public outcry.
- SAFRA confirmed the May 22 incident at its Jurong club and said the contracted security company filed a police report in Singapore.
- The San Wui school board rejected Lee’s resignation and on June 3 terminated his contract with immediate effect and without compensation, citing the sponsoring body’s direction and the Employment Ordinance.
- Lee has appointed legal counsel to review and potentially challenge the dismissal while the Hong Kong Education Bureau continues its separate investigation.
- If pursued in court the case could test how the Employment Ordinance allows summary dismissal and could affect Lee’s pay and provident fund entitlements as well as the school’s legal exposure.
