(11 Dec) The Pro-Beijing camp was hit hard in the District Council Elections, and a large number of district councilors failed to be re-elected. Chief Executive Carrie Lam met with losers from Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (HKFTU) on Dec 9. Besides an apology in person, she said she had the intention to offer official positions to the losers in order to extend their influences in the districts.

HK01 has checked such public data and information and it is found that the losers have been appointed in 112 committees for official positions, and many of these positions have good remuneration. Some of them request members to attend meetings once to twice a month only, and the average monthly income reaches around HKD 20,000. The yearly package of another official position offers around HKD 600,000. The average monthly salary reaches HKD 5,000.
