STOMPer Hcj88 was taken aback when he saw the principal of Pei Chun Public School sitting on a table with his feet placed on a bench as many primary school students looked on.

The sender questions how the school can teach pupils to be polite and considerate if their own principal sets such a bad example.

This shocking behaviour is unacceptable and needs to be highlighted, he says.

In an email written in Chinese and dated November 19, STOMPer Hcj88 says:

"发给你的照片是无意中，在培群小学拍到的。

"我和在场的所有人都感到惊讶的是，这位坐在桌子上脚踩椅子上的男士，竟然是这所学校的新任校长李校长。

"培群是一所，以讲礼仪礼貌闻名的学校，他这样不是在教坏学生。

"希望你们能向教育部反应一下，为人师表啊！！！！"

Loosely translated, the text reads:

"This picture was taken at Pei Chun Public School when it was most unexpected.

"The people who were there, including myself, were shocked that the man, who is sitting on the table with his feet resting on a chair, is actually Mr. Lee, the principal of the school.

"Pei Chun is supposed to be a school reputed for having politeness instilled. His behaviour here teaches the pupils the wrong thing.

"I hope this feedback can reach the Ministry of Education. He should be a teacher by worthy example!"
