HK Government Awards Quarantine Center Construction Contract to China State-owned Company Without Tending Process
Instead of completely closing the borders with China, the Hong Kong Government continued to build temporary quarantine facilities in the city. A government plat at Penny Bay with a contract worth HKD190 million was awarded to China Habour Engineering, by-passing regular tendering process.
China Habour Engineering is a subsidiary of China Communications Construction, a PRC state-owned enterprise.
Hong Kong government officials claimed that awarding contracts without the regular tendering process was necessary due to the "urgency of the project" and insisted that the process complied with relevant rules.
Legislative Council Member, Chu Hoi-dick challenged the government's decision, as any project exceeding HKD30,000,000 will need the approval of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the government is suspected of violating the law and breaching the independence of the three arms of the administration.

#CUHK cuts ties with student union
The university issued an unprecedently strong statement in the evening, stating that "The Student Union Executive Committee members have made false allegations against the University and exploited the campus for their political propaganda, which ran counter to the mission of CUHK and brought the University into disrepute. "
A spokesman stressed the election platform of #Syzygia, which won the leadership election a day ago on February 24, 2021, does not represent the position of the university, reminding them that their comments on #NationalSecurity may be in violation of the law.
The university said it will also stop collecting student union fees on its behalf and require the student body to register as an independent society to assume its own legal responsibility. Members will also be suspended from their ex-officio positions in all university committees.
