Dr. Ma Chung-Yee is the chairperson of the Hong Kong Public Doctors’ Association (HKPDA), which represents over 7,000 doctors in Hong Kong’s public hospitals. Well-experienced as a geriatric and physiatry specialist, Dr. Ma has always been on the forefront against the all-too-relevant menace of disease and pain.
Though freshly graduated from school during the 2003 SARS outbreak, she served the Hong Kong people in Ward 8A of the Prince of Wales Hospital, the epicenter of the epidemic. Now 17 years later, she has found herself once again on the frontlines combating the far-more-deadly Coronavirus pandemic.
Yet this time, she was met with new enemies. To Dr. Ma the Union Leader, the government cracked down on labour rights by designating the General Strike Referendum as illegal and was widely criticized by restraining medical supplies to public hospitals because of alleged sympathy among medical workers for the Anti-Extradition bill movement. To Dr. Ma the Doctor, police brutality throughout the civic protests since last June raised concerns about the Police’s mental capabilities to properly carry out their duties.
Standing at the conjecture in this most turbulent of times, she told Guardians of Hong Kong reporter about her views on the aforementioned issues, as an union leader, as a doctor, and as a Hongkonger.

Temporary Hospital to be Set Up in Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo by China State-owned Enterprises Without Tendering, Pro-Dem Legislator Fears Bad Precedent
The HK government announced in August 2020 that it would set up a temporary hospital on land of the phase two expansion plan of the conventional venue AsiaWorld-Expo (#AWE) and transform Hall 8 to Hall 10 of AWE into a community treatment centre. The plan is expected to provide a total of 1,800 beds, with the costs to be paid by the PRC's Central Government and the construction work to be carried out by a contractor from China without tendering.
Carrie Lam had denied claims of transfer of benefits on Friday.
Sources from the construction industry in Hong Kong claimed that the said construction would be contracted by Chinese state-owned enterprises, with the China State Construction Engineering, which is controlled by the State Council of the PRC and contractor of the Huoshenshan Hospital, being the most likely. It is stated that the Chinese contractor had had meetings with the Hospital Authority and the government.
No detailed plans were given, but it is speculated that it would be built using Modular Integrated Construction, i.e. building the main components in the PRC, before shipping them to Hong Kong for assembly.
Pro-democracy legislator Dr Kwok Ka-ki, of Civic Party, who is a physician by profession, stated that this is the first time the Central Government paid full costs for facilities in Hong Kong since the transfer of sovereignty in 1997. He worried that it would set a bad precedent, "Having the costs prepaid is not all that matters. If they build several more National Security Departments free of charge, would you be happy?"
Dr Arisina Ma Chung Yee, chairperson of the Hong Kong Public Doctors' Association questioned the intent behind the PRC's sponsorship. She cited the floods and famines faced by the PRC at the moment, and that Hong Kong is far from a third-world area. She also stated that the phase one community treatment facilities at the AWE had not been fully occupied, questioning the need for more beds.
