Whistleblower: Authorities Pushing Frontline Staff to the Limit
As the COVID-19 pandemic worsens in Hong kong, the workload of a laboratory under the Department of Health responsible for testing deep-throat saliva sample from patients may be saturated soon.
A person shared a short video on the Facebook page of "civil servants' secrets" on July 18. In the video, a large amount of deep-throat saliva samples were found at the corridor outside of the laboratory. The whistleblower who posted the video said to have worked in the laboratory for more than ten hours a day. "A few colleagues have already been exhausted."
The person warned if the Department of Health continued to "push frontline staff to the limit", people will collapse. "Testing services in Hong Kong will fall at that moment."

Video Leaked: Carrie Lam Praises i-Cable News Director for Being "Cooperative"
On Dec 1, 2020, the paid TV station i-Cable sacked around 40 staff members in the news department, including the entire team of "News Lancet", a reputed investigative news program in Hong Kong.
The sacking has triggered the resignation of the News Team en masse and discontent among journalists and audience. Many questioned whether the News Director, Oscar Lee Tsun and other senior managers, who were recently parachuted to head the news team, are carrying out political assignment.
On the next day, a video footage leaked out, wherein the news director Oscar Li had an interview with Chief Executive Carrie Lam.
In the video, Lam mocked Lee for being too “mild” in his interview questions. In embarrassment, Lee stammered, “...harder questions will come in the next session.”
Lam, however, was not contended as she continued to taunt Lee, “No wonder my press secretary said (Cable TV) is very cooperative, very cooperative, very accommodating, very accommodating.”
After the layoff plan was out on Dec 1, a number of departmenf supervisors and staff members of the News team encircled the office of the senior managers including Lee, Hui Hong-Fai, Tse Yin-na and Chan Hing-cheong.
The staff request an explanation on the TV station's criteria set out to fire them Meanwhile, 16 journalists from News Department issued a joint statement and resigned en masse in solidarity.
In the statement, they criticized management for failing to provide a clear account on reasons for sacking certain staff. They also pointed out that such decision has completely disregarded the journalists’ contribution over the years.

#CNN Exclusive : Reported leak at Chinese nuclear power facility, 130km from Hong Kong
//The #US government has spent the past week assessing a report of a leak at a Chinese nuclear power plant, after a French company that part owns and helps operate it warned of an "imminent #RadiologicalThreat," according to US officials and documents reviewed by CNN.
The warning included an accusation that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in #Guangdong province in order to avoid having to shut it down, according to a letter from Framatome the French company to the US Department of Energy obtained by CNN.
#Framatome had reached out to the US in order to obtain a waiver that would allow them to share American technical assistance in order to resolve the issue at the Chinese plant. There are only two reasons why this waiver would be granted, and one is an "imminent radiological threat," the same verbiage used in the June 8 memo.
The memo claims the Chinese limit was increased to exceed French standards, yet it remains unclear how that compares to US limits.
"It is not surprising that the French would reach out," according to Cheryl Rofer, a nuclear scientist who retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2001. "In general, this sort of thing is not extraordinary, particularly if they think the country they are contacting has some special ability to help."
"But #China likes to project that everything is just fine, all the time," she added.
...the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant published a statement on its website Sunday night local time, maintaining that environmental readings for both the plant and its surrounding area were "normal."...//
