Beijing Loyalist Applying for Position of #RTHK Broadcast Director Only to "Humiliate the Station"
The RTHK Broadcasting Director Leung Ka-wing would retire from his office at the end of his contract term in August 2021. Leung’s decision to retire came after RTHK was harshly blasted by Beijing loyalists since the beginning of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement in 2019.
The government opened recruitment for Leung’s replacement in late July 2020. Tang Tak-shing, chairman of
a pro-Beijing group called PolitiHK Social Strategic, said that he has sent in his application for the position. However, when responding to comments on Facebook, he revealed his actual intention was to "embarrass" RTHK by “making it look bad”.
Tang has been criticising RTHK for the quality of its program as well as the professionalism upheld by its reporters and program hosts. Since August 2019, Tang has initiated several rounds of protests by encircling the RTHK headquarters.
The participants of these activities were often seen hurling insults at reporters, and on one occasion, some of them attempted to obstruct reporters from filming by licking the camera lens.
