1616 | Mei Foo
Mei Foo residents hope the community can act together to protect the neighborhood. They spoke of the difficulties to even buy a protective mask in Hong Kong, due to the government's inaction.
[Editor's note: Unlike Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Macau governments purchased and dispensed masks to civilians; however, the Hong Kong government never takes measures. The general public do not have enough masks, not to mention cleaners, the elderly and those in need. The lack of supply also raises the price of the remaining available masks in the city.
Moreover, the Hong Kong government rather sets up more and more isolation camp in residential areas than shutting down completely the border between Hong Kong and China. In the case of Mei Foo, the unused Hong Kong Central Hospital could be a more appropriate site than the heritage site the government picked without consulting the citizens.]

China State Media Confirms Hong Kong Cabinet Change Before Carrie Lam Announces, Pro-democracy legislator: Nothing but a power game at the highest level
On April 22, before Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced the reshuffling of her cabinet, China's state media Xinhua Agency first published details about the new appointments.
The change of 5 principal officials is the most prominent reshuffle since the Hong Kong's sovereignty handover in 1997.
Pro-democracy legislator and Civic Party chair Alvin Yeung pointed out that the reshuffle was nothing but a power game at the highest level, "[It] is designed to enhance the powers of the Chief Executive, and those behind her." Yeung called it a shameful exercise as the most unpopular ministers like John Lee and Teresa Cheng had not been removed.
In response to a reporter's question, the Chief Executive Carrie Lam denied that anyone was being sacked as a form of punishment, reinstating that the departing Officials had all "served with dedication". She also emphasized that the move has nothing to do with an embarrassing saga at the weekend involving confusion over whether Beijing's liaison office needs to abide by Article 22 of the Basic Law.
The DAB brushed aside concerns that the appointment of two of its members as principal officials means the government is showing favouritism towards the pro-Beijing party. Chairwoman Starry Lee even reiterated it wouldn't be necessary for the two officials to quit the DAB to maintain their political neutrality.
