Both parties deserve our understanding
It is understandable that the ITE students were looking forward to seeing Uncle Raymond and his iconic dance.
However, the security guard was likely just doing his job to maintain order in accordance with the school rules.
Nevertheless, we admire Uncle Raymond for calmly and politely complying with the instructions even if it disrupted his dance. Hopefully, his next filming session goes a lot more smoothly.
