Civil Servants Union Responds to Hong Kong Government: We Regret to Hear Your Regret
The Union for New Civil Servants (UNCS) organized a rally on 19 February to express their strong distain for the government's apathetic attitude towards the epidemic. The government then released a statement expressing disappointment towards the action, citing that all civil servants should have a responsibility of following the government's policies to combat the virus and corroborate with other sectors of the society.
UNCS releases the following responses:
1. The government spokesperson stated that Hong Kong stands in a "critical moment" in combating the virus, yet Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung had claimed that the epidemic was "under control" a few days prior.
UNCS called for the government to adopt an agreed-on stance regarding the state of the epidemic in Hong Kong, as conflicts between the statements may cause confusion among the public and civil servants.
2. UNCS wished that the government would not undermine civil servants' and civilians' freedom of expression and freedom of assembly in the name of combating the Wuhan Pneumonia.
3. The government spokesperson stated that "the distribution of protective gear was based on the risks involved in the duties assigned", while the Chief Executive had also emphasized that all protective gear are to be reserved for medical staff first.
Yet many news sources had indicated that the police, who were assigned to only man their cordon received far more protective gear than medical staff and staff from the Fire and Ambulance Services, who serve in the frontline against this epidemic.
UNCS questioned whether this imbalance in the distribution of resources is a direct violation of the CE's orders or a reversal in priority in government policy.

83-year-old Li Yi: I don’t have long to live, but I believe Hong Kong young people have wisdom beyond imagination 5/6
▶️ Part 4
Was the police like this before?
"The police used to be..hmm...Since the establishment of the ICAC, the image of the police had really changed. I really don’t know what happened lately. I can’t say that there aren’t any good people at all. 5-6 years ago, I once left a bag on a taxi. There were thousands of dollars in the bag. I went home, and my domestic helper told me that the police made a call and said the driver brought my wallet to the police. I thanked the driver and I went to the Central Police Station. The police took my things out and counted them for me. They were very professional and humane. I was very impressed. For example, they said, ‘don’t count the banknotes in the public as others will see them.’ Then, they gave me a room to spread the bills open and count one by one, so I could check if everything was there. The things were done in a very orderly way, they were doing their job to helped me ... there will always be good ones left, but now there is a grouping effect, and good things will disappear. When everyone is together, they influence each other. If you don't follow the others, you look bad in the group. It seems that in Chris Tang Ping-keung’s dinner earlier, if you didn’t sing and laugh along, you were the odd one. In fact, not everyone necessarily wants to participate. This is the case. Due to such effect It's hard to say if there is any good person. This may be the biggest tragedy of Hong Kong. It is because police officers are public servants whom everyone has the most contact with. When there is an incident, such as domestic violence, you call the police. Police is important for the society to run. Now the police is behaving in such way, this really brings a lot of damages (to the society). "
//we must adhere to our original values, to fight continuously, in various forms, on various fronts.
//only a small group of Hong Kong people are infected. It is out of everyone’s expectation. The self-protection awareness of Hong Kong people is hardly seen in the rest of the world. Everyone is wearing a mask now.
//Hong Kong has its own quality.
//Hong Kong is the most civilised place in the world. The quality of Hong Kong people is also the best in the world, be it about the communication with foreigners, the integration with the world, and people’s kindness to others.
//our international contacts and mobility are beyond everyone ’s imagination.
//It’s not that Chinese don’t speak good English, but they don’t speak like us.
//How can you be ‘Chinese’? How can we be ‘Chinese’? We just need to be ourselves, we just need to be a human being and then that will be good enough"
