Unions of Customs & Excise & Correction Services are unhappy about huge salary gaps with HK Police
Editor's note: Union representatives of the Customs & Excise Services called for an equal pay structure for all enforcement staff at the Panel on Civil Services meeting, but pro-establishment legislators defended the current pay scale, and giving the police preferential treatment. This is the first time that a former senior bureau official has openly admitted that the Hong Kong police force have taken up the role of a paramilitary - and even full military - in its operations to “curb the violence and social unrest” by suppressing Hong Kong protests as citizens demand for Beijing to uphold Hong Kong’s status as an autonomous and democratic administrative region under the “One Country Two Systems” framework.
(20 Jan)Numerous disciplined services unions, including the Hong Kong Customs & Excise Custom Officer Grade Association (HKCEOGA), Hong Kong Customs & Excise Staff General Association (HKCESGA), Hong Kong Correctional Services Department Assistant Officers General Association (HKCSDAOGA), and Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants Association (HKCCSA), urged the government to standardize the pay scale and structure for all disciplined and related civil servants at today's Legislative Council Panel on Public Services meeting (where panel members met to examine and discuss the disciplined forces pay grade & structure).

Pro-Bejing Lawmaker urges retribution for striking doctors and nurses, CE Carrie Lam Refuses to Say No
Shorter version:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/19418
The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council held special meetings for four consecutive days to discuss the "Budget" and the government's fiscal expenditure for the next year. At the meeting on 8 Mar 2020, Regina Ip, a former security chief who now heads the pro-Beijing New People's Party, proposed to settle accounts with the strikers: She advised the Hospital Authority (HA) not to issue specialist qualifications to doctors who had participated in the strike.
The remarks drew the ire of pro democracy legislators, who criticized Ip for using "Cultural Revolution-style denunciation" by advocating retribution and smearing of medical staff. They emphasized that the medical workers’ strike was called to request for a comprehensive border closure so as to avoid a collapse of the medical system.
On the same day, Carrie Lam announced relief measures including the waiver of licence and registration fees for medical workers for three years. A reporter pointed out that medical workers are not asking for a waiver of registration fees. Rather, they are asking for a stable and viable medical system in Hong Kong; and also the assurance that they will not be reprimanded for participating in the strikes. Lam responded saying that these are issues to be resolved by the Hospital Authority and medical staff, and that the government cannot get involved. Carrie Lam refuses to promise that retribution would not be sought.

Beijing Loyalist: "For Hongkongers who decide to leave, it’s time they had to choose: foreign citizenship or right of abode in Hong Kong"
#ReginaIp Lau Suk-yee, a pro-Beijing lawmaker and chairwoman of the New People’s Party, stated in her opinion article on Alibaba-owned South China Morning Post on January 10, 2021 that “Beijing has long adopted a ‘one eye open, one eye closed’ approach to Hongkongers with dual nationality.”
“But 23 years after the handover, those who make a conscious decision to leave and, by implication, give up on Hong Kong, should be asked to make a choice – China or a foreign country.”
Ip, a former Secretary for Secutity, suggested that, “it may be time for the Chinese government to end its special treatment of Hong Kong Chinese for historical reasons, and enforce its nationality law to disallow dual nationality.”
This could be done after a specified cut-off date. Thereafter, Hong Kong Chinese who acquire a foreign nationality of their own free will, will be deemed to have lost Chinese nationality, in strict accordance with Article 9 of the Chinese Nationality Law, Ip added.

Regina Ip Criticised APEC having "Unfair Condition" that Beijing has to Decide whether to Attend with this Insult
The #WashingtonPost reported earlier that the #US #DepartmentofState denied #JohnLee to enter the US border for the #APEC summit. Yet, the Hong Kong government can still send other senior officials to participate.
The pro-establishment camp criticised the US's practice with statements and journals yesterday. Among them, #ReginaIp, the convenor of the Executive Council, wrote in #ChinaDaily that the APEC summit has an "unknown future" because of John Lee. She also questioned whether it is worthwhile for the government to send another official to attend if the ban is "harmful and unreasonable". She pointed out that the Chinese "highest leader" should decide whether he should accept "the insult".
Besides, #TaKungPao quoted statements from various politicians in a report, including #MargaretChan from #CPPCC, #KingsleyWong from #HKFTU and #BraveChan from #DAB.
Note:
CPPCC refers to Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
HKFTU refers to Hong Kong Federation of Trade Union
DAB refers to Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong
