Unhappy over complaint by district council chair, District Officer fires back and chokes up at meeting
不甘遭區會主席申訴 民政專員會上開火兼哽咽
Earlier this year, the Wan Chai District Council approved more than $1 million in funding for the Methodist Centre to purchase anti-epidemic kits. However, a leaflet in the kits used the term “Wuhan pneumonia”, prompting the Home Affairs Department to demand that distribution be halted. The department later, under pressure from a joint submission by Cheng Wai-kin, Fergus Wang Tai Wong and Lam Wai-man, again halted the return of the remaining funds and launched an investigation into the funding project, after which it was also the subject of complaints by district councillors. The Wan Chai District Council held a meeting of its Funding and Standing Committees this afternoon and passed an ad hoc decision to discuss the investigation report. Council chairperson Yang Suet-ying and District Officer Kenny Tin Chu Chan repeatedly clashed. Kenny Tin Chu Chan at one point choked up and said that the Home Affairs Department had a large amount of work to deal with: “You went to complain to the Ombudsman’s Office, and we have to deal with that too.”
灣仔區議會年初通過以逾百萬撥款予循道衛理中心購買防疫包，惟防疫包中的單張曾使用「武漢肺炎」字眼，引來民政處要求叫停派發。民政處之後在謝偉俊、黃宏泰及林偉文聯署施壓下，再叫停發還餘款，並就撥款項目展開調查，之後更遭區議員投訴。灣仔區議會今昨午召開撥款及常務委員會，臨時通過決定討論調查報告。區議會主席楊雪盈與民政專員陳天柱多次針鋒相對，陳天柱一度哽咽稱民政處有大量工作需要處理，「你又走去申訴專員公署度投訴，我哋都要處理㗎嘛」。

Home Affairs Refuses to Discuss Budget; Yuen Long Council Chairman Slams Delay: “Nothing Can Be Done If This Drags On”
民政拒議財政預算 元朗區議會主席斥：拖到乜都唔使搞
Many major events in Yuen Long were cancelled because of the spread of Wuhan pneumonia. At yesterday’s Yuen Long District Council meeting, councillors discussed revising the budget and reallocating funds that had already been reserved for other uses. The chairman of the Yuen Long District Council, Zachary Wai Yin Wong, repeatedly asked the District Officer whether organisations that had applied to hold events in previous years would continue to do so this year. The District Officer and secretary, however, brushed off the questions, saying the matter should wait until the Finance Committee resumed discussion on November 24. Zachary Wai Yin Wong immediately condemned Home Affairs, saying: “If we leave the money for the Finance Committee to discuss before using it, nothing can be organised if this drags on. You’re so familiar with the Rural Committee—how could you not know whether they would submit new applications for funding?”

Yuen Long District Officer Yuen Ka-no and other departmental officials then left the meeting, refusing to take part in the discussion.

Home Affairs Department Applies Double Standards, Allowing Only DAB to Discuss Hong Kong Health Code; Wong Kwok-tung: Civil Service Political Neutrality Has Vanished
民政處雙重標準 只准民建聯討論港康碼 黃國桐：公務員政治中立蕩然無存
The Kowloon City District Council met in the afternoon. The Home Affairs Department applied double standards: when pro-democracy members proposed discussing opposition to the Hong Kong Health Code, the department removed the item from the meeting papers. Choi Man-kwan, the Kowloon City District Officer who earlier disqualified Joshua Wong from standing for election, also led a group in leaving. By contrast, when the DAB proposed discussing its expectations for the Policy Address, including introducing the Hong Kong Health Code and promoting Greater Bay Area cooperation, it was allowed to be discussed at the meeting. Wong Kwok-tung, a lawyer and Democratic Party member, criticised the authorities’ actions as political suppression and said that matters had “fallen to such a state” that “civil service political neutrality has completely disappeared”. He said this had caused Hong Kong’s political system to collapse completely, describing it as a very sad situation.
