#FirstHand #Instant #Feb9

14:16 | Tung Chung
The Hong Kong Dragon Airline Flight Attendants Association organized an assembly requesting the Airline to stop flights flying over mainland China.

FAA chairwoman Rebecca Sy On-na spoke on stage, reflecting that there has been lack of masks and hand cloves offered to cabin crew, despite the fact that they contact with mainland travellers directly. What's more, the airline even requests cabin crew to take no-pay leave in such a harsh moment.

462 members of the Association voted for a strike so as to force the airline to stop flights flying over China that could potentially spread virus to Hong Kong. Sy also pointed that Cathay Dragon issued memo to cabin crew to stress that those participated in the strike will be fired.

Starry Lee to hold House Committee Special Meeting on Friday Afternoon; Dennis Kwok to hold Ordinary Meeting on Fri Morning as Usual

Starry Lee, the preceding President of The House Committee of the Legislative Council (LegCo), said today (4 May) that she has decided to hold two House Committee meetings this Friday (8 May), with her power conferred by the “Rules of Procedure” and “House Rules” of LegCo, upon taking external legal advice from a Senior Counsel.

Starry Lee, in Chairman seat, was surrounded and protected by a large number of government security now, while Dennis Kwok stood aside.

The pro-democracy camp expressed their dissatisfaction. There were conflicts going on between the pro-Beijing and pro-democracy camp, and most of the LegCo members are currently still hosting livestreams, covering the situation.
