Junius Ho’s unfair privilege angers the public 2/3

The following is published on the Facebook page "HA Secrets" where medical staff under Hong Kong's Hospital Authority send in information anonymously.

(06 Nov) Case #9357

HO X X (HO Kwan Yiu) had received a general anesthesia surgery for his 2cm wound. It was handled by a Chief of Service (of the Hospital Authority). Other surgeries including brain tumor, tracheostomy and thoracoscopy were given way, a privilege!?

Case #9358
Want to check out – why legislator HO was given a Resuscitation Room ebed, on cardiac monitoring and was escorted to the ward?

Can the resources be better utilized without such wastage?

How to deal with if there were other real cases of post cardiac arrest patient being admitted to the hospital? (though there are few ebeds for Automated External Defibrillation, in most circumstances there should be more than 1 patients received in a single Automated External Defibrillation ebed)

It is doubted that the services of ebed, cardiac monitoring and escorting (to ward) should be offered to such 2cm wound injury case as it was not necessary.

It is strongly questioned that the hospital did not treat other patients admitted to the Accident and Emergency Department (A&E) fairly and professionally.

Please explain why the patient (HO Kwan Yiu) became a VIP with such privilege.

Case #9359
Please follow up, in a serious manner, why the patient (HO Kwan Yiu) who was minor wounded could cut in the line to receive treatment in the operating theatre. Which emergency category was classified upon the triage system assessment at the Tuen Mun Hospital A&E where it (he) was admitted to? How long has he waited for a doctor’s consultation?

Case #9360
I am a staff member of the Tune Mun Hospital. Today (6 Nov) a surgery was conducted for a “VIP” who was injured with a 2/3cm wound. Putting aside if he was actually attacked (some suspected this is a coordinated show), I was so surprised that he could cut in the line (for receiving treatment and surgery) considering his small wound without further bleeding and life threatening. What I want to stress is, despite the Tuen Mun hospital is heavily overloaded and overflowed, this unwelcoming patient without any emergent condition could be offered a single room. There were over 20 emergent cases pending for surgery in the operating theatre, including neurosurgery, fracture, carpal tunnel syndrome which are all more serious cases than Ho’s, in which 10 cases were already pending since the previous night. It was totally unreasonable to let him cutting in, and treat such other 20+ patients unfairly. Because of his capacity as lawyer or legislator and so he could enjoy the privilege?

We are often discredited as dirty nurses recently and instructed not to bring politics into the hospital, however, was the senior management leading to bring in politics in this case?

(Admin: how about we group all the comments into one case as all are alleging the same incident?)
(Privilege? VIP? We are not sure, but we do see the senior management of the Hospital Authority is avoiding responsibility and accountability.)

Junius Ho’s unfair privilege angers the public 3/3

Editor's Note: Writer Alfred Wong is an Associate Consultant working in Tuen Mun Hospital

(08 Nov) Since when was photography allowed in a hospital room? (Hong Kong Hospital Authority prohibits taking photos in the hospital room area to protect patients privacy)

Since when was it approve for a patient to have 8 visitors visiting at the same time? (Hospital rooms are narrow and small. As to avoid obstruction of clinical work, hospital rooms only allow 2 people to visit a patient each time. The only exception might be if the patient is in a critical condition.

“Where is the rule now? It looks like "Eight Immortals Bestowing Longevity”

I really cannot understand. I really want to ask the question.

I have seen so many cases that the 3rd family member were forced to stay out of the hospital room.

Should the Hospital Authority apologize to other patient's family member who were forced away?

I have not yet count Ho's skipping line for hospital care.

How do People in China React to the Landslide Victory of the Pro-democracy Front in Hong Kong District Council Election?

Part 1/5: Chinese Nationalism as a Shield

Editor's note: The following are comments made by mainland Chinese on social media platform #Weibo in China. Their reaction towards the landslide victory by the pro-democracy candidates in the 2019 Hong Kong District Council election range from hostile, cynical to indifferent.

All these have a lot to tell about the Chinese mentality towards values such as freedom, democracy that are cherished by Hongkongers and the world.

Chinese Netizen #1:
“This [election] is no longer about the pro-establishment [camp] losing, it is about them losing very disgracefully. It is expected that the pro-establishment [camp] will only get the table scraps of the pro-democracy [camp]. Such a real reflection of Hong Kong’s popular will is a slap to the face of the central government. The 22 years of united front work in Hong Kong is a failure. Really embarrassing!”

Chinese Netizen #2:
“Weibo can no longer use the videos of a few Hong Kongers who ‘love the country and Hong Kong’ to console Mainland China. Most Hong Kongers view Mainland China with enmity and do not identify as a Chinese. This is a fact.

Chinese Netizen #3:
What have we got; a historical night. Tonight is the collective transformation of Mainland Chinese’s emotional cognition towards Hong Kongers. The cruelest face off for this brotherly tie. It is the focal point of awakening for those who are not awake. Today the majority of [Hong Kongers] voted – they want to let you see Hong Kong’s popular will! It is their urgent call to you to get far away from them, and not interfere with them!

Chinese Netizen #4:
“Looking at the number of votes, you will know how many rioters are there in Hong Kong. Hong Kong police is also a ‘cow pussy’ with only 30,000 of them having to fight a few millions of rioters.”

Replies to Netizen #4:
“It feels like our policy is to be a dog-licker until we have nothing left, and still fuxking talks about being fellow countryman, more than half of Hong Kong[ers] are reactionary forces that are causing divisions in our country.”

“Youth that are under the age of 18 are more ‘yellow’.” (note: “yellow ribbon’ refers to pro-democracy supporters in Hong Kong)

Chinese Netizen #5:
“I once have expectations about Hong Kong’s silent majority, but it has proven to be wishful thinking on my part. Even Yuen Long’s citizens are … (the same)
The education of one generation after another has already started to be rotten to the root. America has long been playing this round of chess. A colour revolution is not exceptional if it works well. See the reality clearly, give up the fantasies, and do not paint illusions of peace. [I] will not have any expectations anymore.

Replies to Netizen #5:
“This is a devastating one, at least 99 [percent of elected seats won by the pro-democracy camp].”

“Almost 80 [percent], I thought it would be about 50-50 [percent] but it ended up to be my wishful thinking.”

Chinese Netizen #6:
“The reference value is of greater significance than the actual value, but it still goes down to the election poll”

Chinese Netizen #7:
“Junius Ho is still lagging behind by over a thousand votes”

Reply to Netizen #7:
“Yes I saw it, such an unexpected difference, this is outrageous”

Netizen #8:
“Eight words— Clearly grasp the situation, give up the fantasies”

Reply to Netizen #8:
“I really don’t think others are being brainwashed, instead, it is us who are being brainwashed.”

Beijing Loyalist Junius Squares Off Inside the Legislature's Chamber

HK Secretary for Justice Intervenes Private Prosecution Against Pro-government driver, allowing defendant lawyer to recoup legal fee from pro-democratic lawmaker

Democratic Party lawmaker Ted Hui Chi-fung initiated a private prosecution in February against Henry Cheng Kwok-chun, a driver who rammed his car into a crowd of pro-democracy protesters and severely wounding at least one young woman in 2019.

On August 20, 2020, it was revealed that Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng had taken the rare step of intervening in the case, informing Hui that the Department of Justice would exercise its power to end the case and that the defendant Cheng would be exempted from testifying in court.

Subsequently, the law firm representing Cheng wrote to Hui’s lawyer in bid of seeking HK$82,000 to cover its expenses. The law firm representing the defendant, K.C Ho & Fong, has Beijing loyalist Junius Ho Kwan-yiu as a senior partner. The litigation fees include lawyer’s fee for Junius Ho at HK$9,400 per hour, stating the reason that “the summons should never have been taken out by the applicant at all”.

Disapproving the claim and the Secretary for Justice’s intervention, Hui called it absurd, pointing out that the authorities are attempting to frame this private prosecution as a trivial act with malicious intention. Hui believes that any sensible person could see the reasonable doubt in Cheng purposefully driving his car into the crowd.

As of August 24, the request of the Secretary for Justice was formalized in court.

#LukedePulford: UK's Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal to 'Prosecute' Beijing Loyalist #JuniusHo and Remove him from the UK Solicitors Register

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (#SRA), a licensing body that regulates solicitors in England and Wales, has taken action and scheduled a hearing of Junius Ho's case in the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.

With the latest news from SRA, Hong Kong Watch's fellow Luke de Pulford commented that "people who spout hate, incite violence and encourage authoritarianism have no place practising law in the UK."

In October 2019, Anglia Ruskin University (#ARU) in the UK has revoked Ho's honorary degree citing Ho's conduct and public behaviour as a concern. This came after Ho's alleged connection with the white-clad assailants in Yuen Long 7.21 triad attack on train passengers, reporters and pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong in 2019.

Foul-mouthed pro-CCP lawyer could be “kicked-out” from UK lawyers’ register for suggesting “killing” HK independence advocates “without mercy”

CCP-loyal lawmaker and lawyer #JuniusHo is facing a hearing by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in London in December this year, over remarks he made in 2017 about killing Hong Kong independence advocates 'without mercy'.

The UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority said Ho remarks at the rally and subsequently on his Facebook could be perceived as inciting violence against opponents and could cause offense. The Tribunal will decide whether to remove Ho from the UK register after the hearing.

At a pro-establishment rally in September 2017, Chairman of the Ping Shan Rural Committee, Tsang Shu-wo said on stage that Hong Kong independence advocates should be killed. Ho went along supporting him and shouted “without mercy” into his microphone.

Today is the 3 year mark of the 7.21 Yuen Long attack, when all of Hong Kong watched in horror as police abandoned civilians and sided with the violent mobsters.

On this night 3 years ago, a large white-clad mob armed with sticks and pipes attacked MTR passengers and passersbys at the Yuen Long MTR station, on the pretense that they were protesters coming to protest in Yuen Long. Police officers were seen casually walking away as the attack was happening. Frantic citizens placed over 20,000 calls to the 999 emergency hotline, most of them unanswered. The Yuen Long Police Station even shut its gate and turned away citizens demanding a response.

Police finally arrived at the scene 39 minutes after the first report, long after the mob had dispersed. They were later seen warmly chatting with the white shirts gathering nearby. Pro-Beijing lawmaker #JuniusHo was also seen shaking hands with the white shirts, who greeted him warmly as he passed by.

At the government press conference the following day, Carrie Lam and the police chief dodged questions and gave little explanation for the police response in Yuen Long, prompting one exasperated journalist to demand that they "speak like human beings" and give Hongkongers some assurance. Instead, they simply turned and walked away as journalists shouted after them, nearly re-enacting the police response the night before.

In the wake of the 7.21 attack, trust in the police force plunged for Hongkongers across the political spectrum, as the city was confronted with the reality that the police force may no longer be protecting innocent civilians. The police force, for its part, tried to push the narrative that the one-sided attack was an evenly-matched "conflict between white-shirts and black-shirts", while simultaneously suppressing pro-democracy media who provided mounting evidence that refuted their claims.

In the 3 years since the attack, only 7 white-shirts were arrested for the attack that night. However, Lam Check-Ting, who injured by the white-clad attackers, is being charged for rioting.

"7.21: The Unfinished Case": Video Report by #IndependentJournalists Reviews Records of #YuenLongAttack, Victims Speak Up as they Revisit the Scene

Read Part 1:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/33081

Part 2 of 3

Interviewee: "Not a Group Fight, Only Being Assaulted"

The report strings together several scattered video segments, including live reporting by #StandNews, phone videos from citizens, security cameras from nearby shops, as well as videos by the recently-shut-down #FactWire.

The video presented several iconic moments of the night of July 21-22, 2019: men in white shirts distributing bamboo sticks from their vehicles, riot police repeatedly making way for the white shirts to leave by car, police officers patting the shoulders of the white-clad men, pro-Beijing lawmaker #JuniusHo shaking hands with the white men.

The interviewees said that there were over 200 white shirts involved that evening, but only 7 had been convicted of rioting and intentional bodily harm.

Galileo, who agreed to show his face in his interview, remarked that the nature of the 7.21 incident "was not a group fight; it was purely a case of being attacked and assaulted." He believed that there may currently be fewer than 10 people who would be willing to comment on the 7.21 incident, considering the way the government had characterized the incident as well as the law today. However, he insisted on speaking out on his own experiences and thoughts: "I stand by my principle: I say what is true."

The video report also interviewed a shop owner who provided CCTV footage. "I don't want the truth to be drowned," he said. He also remarked that he seem to have been stalked because he accepted the interview, and had to check himself into a hotel in order to stay safe.

Before the camera, he shared that "the feeling of being unsafe now surrounds Hong Kong, including everyone who had spoken up, or had provided evidence, or had taken a stance contrary to the regime's."

"'The truth will eventually prevail,'" he said, almost cynically. "But when is 'eventually'? In ten years? Twenty? Thirty?" He hoped that he would live to see it. He stressed, however, that even though it seems the truth could not prevail now, the chance will be gone if he doesn't speak up.
