A Temasek Polytechnic class was disrupted on April 18, 2018, after a blonde-haired student dressed in Bumblebee colours made a lot of noise and got into scuffles and shouting matches with other students, staff and, security.

Videos making rounds

The cause of the real-life hullabaloo is not immediately known based on what can be gleaned from a series of videos posted on Facebook.

This video below is not related to the incident, but it showed Bumblebee shooting a live video of himself while a class was ongoing in the background:

It is a testament to what he had done before during curriculum time.

However, in total, some 18 minutes worth of footage can be found here -- shot from various angles -- once they were all strung together.

Cause of fiasco

Based on a supposed first-hand account, the entire fiasco started after Bumblebee was finally told off by another student. This was after he had allegedly been disruptive in class for the past few days.

Bumblebee was particularly triggered because the other student mentioned his ITE background.

According to the account of what happened, Bumblebee is 21 years old, although this information cannot be verified.

However, at the end of the 18-minute video, Bumblebee could be seen addressing the students, where he talked about how difficult it was for him to make it to polytechnic.

And he has defended himself by saying he is standing up for ITE students and cannot see why others would flame him:
