HK Government Fires #CivilServant for Not Signing Allegiance Oath
Mr. Wu had been a civil servant in Hong Kong for over 30 years serving the governments before and after the handover. He was recently fired for not signing the government-required oath indicating his allegiance to Hong Kong Basic Law.
On April 12, 2021, he received the suspension order from his workplace, Environmental Department. Since then, he has not received any response upon his inquiry of the government's decision.
Mr. Wu recounted that he was asked by the management to sign the oath on March 12, the last day of submission. Mr. Wu in the end signed the document and turned in three copies: one in person and two by fax.
However, the government decided to fire him directly and did not follow up with his query. On April 20, 2021, the management of the Department bar Mr. Wu from returning to the office. On April 23, the Department cleared his desk and claimed that his belongings would be sent to his home, or the landfill otherwise. Mr. Wu was unable to retrieve his medication and the keys to his home. He has since then spent a few days on the street.
The statement released by the union #HKCTU pointed out that Mr. Wu had been fulfilling his duty as a civil servant for over 30 years. The behavior of the government clearly endangers the rights of the employees with a different voice.
