Vice-principal suspended over a poem shared on social media

Although police officers hurl insults at civilians, calling them cockroaches, in daily life and on social media, so far no police officer has to face disciplinary inquiry or legal sanction, let alone suspension.

On the contrary, some civilians having taunted the police lost their jobs or reported by pro-China camp after their identities were exposed.

Recently, a police officer in a facebook post criticized the acting vice-principal, surnamed Ho, of Confucious Hall Secondary School for sharing a poem with a hidden message wishing the police dead.

Without further investigation, the school has suspended Ho.

The Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union quoted a source explaining that the poem was mistakenly shared by the vice-principle without realizing the acrostic element in it. The post has already been deleted to avoid further misunderstanding immediately.

Hong Kong invokes emergency powers to allow in China medics Without Local Certification

Hong Kong government invoked emergency powers on February 24 to allow doctors and nurses from China to practice in Hong Kong, citing its struggle against a coronavirus outbreak that is spiraling out of control.

Chief Secretary John Lee will be empowered to allow exemptions to existing rules governing overseas medics.

Prior to this, Chinese mainland medics had not been allowed to practice in Hong Kong without passing local exams and licensing regulations.

The emergency powers “exempt certain persons or projects from all relevant statutory requirements” to operate “so as to increase Hong Kong’s epidemic control capacity for containing the fifth wave within a short period of time,” the statement said.
