Netizens were outraged by the audacity of the Bentley driver, endangering the lives of the security officer and the school staff.
One commended the security officer for going beyond his duty to prevent the car from entering the school.
Money doesn’t buy one class or manners.
A valid point considering the recent rise of such claims in court.
Minister Chan Chun Sing took to Facebook to express his displeasure at the behavior of the driver.

He called it unacceptable behaviour towards security and school personnel who were simply performing their duties to keep the children and school safe.
Minister Chan concluded the post by saying that adults should set a positive example by treating others with respect for children to emulate.
General secretary Raymond Chin from the Union of Security Employees (USE) said that the union is in contact with the affected security officer in an interview with The Straits Times.
“He said that his right knee was painful and has been issued a three-day medical certificate after a medical checkup.” – Mr Chin for The Straits Times
The incident occurred at the school gate during rush hour at around 7.30am, where parents drop off their children for school.
While the car had a valid label to enter the school, Mr Chin also mentioned that the driver had cut the queue of cars waiting to enter. According to internet sleuths however, the car allegedly had an invalid licence plate number which was perhaps the reason why it was denied entry.

Executive secretary of USE, Steve Tan, 48, called the incident “deplorable” in an interview with The Straits Times.
“The union is very disturbed by this case of physical abuse. It is particularly egregious, given that a car was involved.” – Mr Tan for The Straits Times
The union has since filed a police report on the incident.
Reporter’s Opinions: Many of these luxury car owners have a sense of entitlement when they’re on the roads. They believe that they are above the law and view the rest of the motorists as peasants. Newsflash, you’re just an asshole. No one likes you.
Money can’t buy you manners or class, which is something you sorely lack. You will reap what you sow. Karma is a bitch.
