Kong Yuk-wan, who condemned invalidation of vaccine exemption certificates as arbitrary and childish, says she reserves right to take action after Stanley Ng’s veiled “monkey show” criticism
曾斥廢免針紙專橫兒戲 遭吳秋北不點名批「猴戲」 江玉歡稱保留追究權利
The Government previously invalidated more than 20,000 vaccine exemption certificates issued by seven doctors, prompting Election Committee constituency legislator Kong Yuk-wan to condemn the move as lacking a legal basis and being arbitrary and childish. Stanley Ng, a Legislative Council member of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and an Executive Council member, posted on social media yesterday, criticising an unnamed legislator for seeking attention and putting on a “monkey show”. Kong reposted Ng’s post last night and hit back, saying “anyone with eyes can tell” it was criticism directed at her. She said she had merely reflected public opinion and asked, “As a legislator, does speaking up for the public on livelihood issues make one a ‘monkey’?” Kong, a lawyer, also said she reserved the right to take action over the “defamatory false accusations”.
政府早前廢除7名醫生發出的逾2萬張針紙，遭選委會界別立法會議員江玉歡炮轟法例沒有賦權、做法專橫和兒戲。工聯會立法會議員兼行政會議成員吳秋北昨於社交平台發文，不點名批評有議員「嘩眾取寵」、做「猴戲」。江玉歡晚上轉載吳的文章反擊，指「明眼人也知道是對本人的批評」，並指自己只是如實反映市民意見，反問「難道作為一個議員，為民在民生事項發聲就是『猴子』？」作為律師的她亦指，會對此「誹謗式的不實指控」保留追究權利。
