Temasek Polytechnic investigating fight involving students in lecture theatre

Share

Temasek Polytechnic is investigating a scuffle involving 3 first-year students that happened on Wednesday (April 18) at around 11am, including the “bumblebee” who was filmed going on a tirade in a packed lecture theatre.

In an 18-minute video, a student dressed like a “bumblebee” can be seen shouting aggressively, before he is confronted and briefly strangled by another student in a black shirt.

As the lecturer tried to stop the fight, the “bumblebee” continues on his tirade, hurling vulgarities and gesturing at several students.

A man in a red polo-tee is seen to try to stop him but fail, the “bumblebee” later seen to pick a fight with another student in a red singlet.

The course manager and a security officer were eventually called into the lecture theatre.

A spokesman from Temasek Polytechnic said the students eventually calmed down after staff who were present intervened. No one is injured.

“Temasek Polytechnic (TP) views this matter seriously and is investigating the incident. All three students have been instructed to make themselves available to assist with the investigation,” the spokesman added.

The polytechnic said that it would also take appropriate disciplinary action against the students, where necessary, in addition to counselling them.

“TP does not condone such behaviour of our students and will be speaking to all who were present in the lecture theatre,” the spokesman said.
