School rejects resignation of HK principal in S'pore bus spat, fires him

The Hong Kong school principal, Lee Cheuk Hing, who was involved in a bus dispute in Singapore, has been fired.

This follows a previous update where the principal had tendered his resignation.

He also released a tearful apology for his actions.

According to The South China Morning Post, the school rejected his resignation.

In his resignation letter, Lee requested that his final day be Aug. 31.

Instead, they fired him.

The management committee said that if Lee were to remain as principal, it would "gravely disrupt" the school's operations and prevent teachers and students from "moving forward as soon as possible".

The statement also mentioned Lee's "vulgar" behaviour and how it contravened guidelines for teaching staff.
