Claim 2: “The resignation of a Hong Kong principal who swore at security guards during a school trip to Singapore”
DISPUTED
While multiple web search results (May 28, 2026) report that the principal resigned and apologized after swearing at security guards in Singapore, a subsequent report (June 3, 2026) explicitly states that the school 'refused to accept resignation of Lee Cheuk-hing', indicating a conflict between the act of tendering a resignation and the school's acceptance of it.
