中西區民政五度拉隊走人 一聽「12港人」即閃
The Central and Western District District Council held a full council meeting today. At the outset, it removed two police representatives who had been barred from attending the meeting. Home Affairs Officer Leung Tsz-ki subsequently led five walkouts, including over dissatisfaction with Leung Wong-wai reading an oral statement concerning the 12 Hong Kong people; refusal to discuss police enforcement during the “Sanctions Under Heaven” assembly on January 19, 2020; refusal to discuss a request for the Government to improve arrangements for Central and Western District District Council elections; refusal to discuss a motion condemning the returning officer for the 2018 Hong Kong Island by-election, Anne Yu Yan Teng; and refusal to allow discussion of district councillors entering Central Police Station to provide support for those arrested.

警被禁開會當無事 遭趕走後即開記招譴責中西區區會
At its general meeting on 28 May, the Central and Western District Council passed an interim motion barring representatives of the Hong Kong Police Force, Denise Siu Hing Wong and George Gang Yu, from attending council meetings. When the council held another general meeting today, the two were ordered to leave by chairperson Cheng Lai-king as soon as the meeting began. Less than two hours later, Western District Commander Denise Siu Hing Wong held a press conference at Central Police Station to condemn the Central and Western District Council, accusing district councillors of repeatedly making things difficult for and insulting them, and of exceeding their authority by barring them from attending meetings.

民主派15議員決定留任議會 冀未來團結對抗暴政
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI) today released the results of the Legislative Council stay-or-leave poll commissioned by the Democratic Party, known as the Legislative Council Frontline Hong Kong People’s Choice Opinion Poll. As public support for either leaving or staying did not exceed the 50% threshold, and support for staying was slightly higher, the 15 pro-democracy lawmakers made the political judgement to remain in the Legislative Council.

岑敖暉提動議促援助12港人家屬 荃灣民政即拉隊走佬
The 12 Hong Kong residents detained by the China Coast Guard have been held for nearly a month. At a Tsuen Wan District Council meeting this afternoon, Lester Shum and Tse Man-chak put forward an urgent motion urging the government to assist the detainees’ families, including rejecting “government-appointed lawyers” and allowing lawyers appointed by the families to meet the detainees as soon as possible. Officials from the Home Affairs Department, the secretariat and other departments immediately left, leaving District Council Vice-Chairman Lee Hung-po to take the minutes. The motion was ultimately passed with support from the pro-democracy camp, and the letter will be forwarded to several government departments.

南區區會追究民政處秘書離席 羅健熙：有種就做晒18區，一次過告擅離職守
At the previous Southern District Council meeting, Southern District Officer Cheng Kong-yung refused to allow discussion of a gambling gathering inside Stanley Prison and the police’s handling of a mentally incapacitated Southern District resident, and subsequently led his team out of the meeting. At today’s meeting, Southern District Council Vice Chairman Paul Zimmerman “hit back” by moving to discuss the council’s functions. Cheng denied exceeding his authority, stressing that Stanley Prison was not a public place and therefore fell outside the council’s scope for discussion. The meeting ultimately passed a motion authorising Chairman Lo Kin-hei to take legal action to follow up on the Home Affairs Department secretary’s departure. Lo also criticised the Home Affairs Department, saying, “If you have the guts, do all 18 district secretaries and sue you for dereliction of duty at once.”
南區民政專員鄭港涌上次區議會會議上，不允討論赤柱監獄內聚賭事件及警方處理一名精神上無行為能力的南區居民的手法，之後更帶隊離場。南區區議會副主席司馬文於今日會議上「反擊」，動議討論區議會職能，鄭港涌否認越權，強調赤柱監獄非公眾地方，不屬於區議會討論範圍。會上最終通過由主席羅健熙採取法律行動，跟進民政處秘書離席，羅健熙更斥民政總署「有種就做晒18區秘書，一次過告你擅離職守。」

大埔區議會委任新區隊 民政局明言或照資助舊區隊
Tai Po District Council resumed discussions today on arrangements for its district football team for the coming term. It ultimately approved authorising Pak Hei Sports Club as the new district team to compete in the coming Division Three League under the name Tai Po. A district councillor questioned the Home Affairs Bureau on whether it would continue funding the Tai Po football team whose authorisation had been revoked after the new authorisation. District Officer Hau Man (1974) Chan hinted that the bureau was reviewing the relevant policy and did not rule out funding two teams in the same district at the same time, prompting district councillors to protest: “Then what’s the point of discussing it? You’ve already decided everything yourselves!”
大埔區議會今續議來屆地區足球隊安排，會上最終通過援權柏禧體育會為新區隊，以大埔名義出戰來屆丙組聯賽。有區議員質疑民政事務局，重新授權後會否繼續資助已被取消授權的大埔足球隊。民政專員陳巧敏「漏口風」，指民政局正審視相關政策，不排除同時資助同區兩支球隊，引起區議員狂轟，「咁仲傾咩啫，你哋自己都決定好晒啦！」
