周大福慈善晚宴惹道德爭議 梁毓偉刪「小孩展品」圖 稱以為是「演員」
The government frequently stresses government-business-community cooperation to tackle intergenerational poverty. Chow Tai Fook held a “Chow Tai Fook Corporate Social Solutions” charity banquet yesterday to promote the community project “Fook-style Units”, with several senior officials in attendance. However, one of the event’s “exhibits” sparked controversy after LIHKG users discovered that Leung Yuk-wai had posted photographs and text on Facebook showing a child doing homework in a simulated cramped home environment, with a bunk bed beside the desk. Online users questioned whether children from low-income families were being treated like “animals in a zoo” for wealthy people to view. InMedia contacted Leung Yuk-wai for comment. He initially asked, “Did they get a child to be an exhibit?”, but after seeing his photograph, admitted that the child “seemed to be an exhibit”. He said he had thought the person was an “actor” and was unsure whether the child was genuinely from a low-income family.
政府不時強調「政商民」合作解決跨代貧窮問題,昨日周大福就舉辦「周大福企業社會方案」慈善晚宴,推廣社區項目「福式單位」,有多名高官出席。不過活動其中一個「展品」引起爭議,事緣連登討論登發現梁毓偉在 Facebook 貼出打卡圖文,有一名小朋友在模擬家居斗室環境做功課,書枱旁邊擺放碌架床。網民質疑基層小朋友尤如「動物園」被一眾富人參觀。《獨媒》向梁毓偉查詢,他起初反問「有搵小朋友做展品咩?」,看到自己的相片後承認「好似係展品」,他稱以為對方是「演員」,不肯定對方是否真正來自基層。

李家超:各界齊心善後令人感動 有潛力成為國際慈善中心
Chief Executive Lee Ka-chiu attended an international charity forum organised by the Jockey Club this morning. In his speech, he referred to the extreme conditions Hong Kong had experienced recently, saying that flooding and landslides had blocked roads, but that the concerted efforts across society in dealing with the aftermath were moving. He said volunteers, civil servants and Care Teams had quickly assisted affected people and helped clear the streets. The community’s enthusiasm and generosity were encouraging, and Hong Kong had the potential to become an international charity centre.

社署資助機構4.1起實行「疫苗通行證」 有機構要求無打針員工「自動離職」
The Social Welfare Department announced last month that subsidised organisations and units in the social welfare sector would implement a Vaccine Pass measure. From April 1, all employees working for funded or subsidised organisations or units must have received at least one vaccine dose. Those who are unvaccinated and do not hold a doctor’s certificate will be unable to continue working. The Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union conducted a survey of the sector, with more than half of respondents saying their organisations required employees who did not meet the vaccination requirements to ‘resign voluntarily’; more than 70 people said they would lose their jobs because they were unvaccinated. The Social Welfare Department told InMedia that it was an ‘undisputed fact’ that vaccination reduced severe illness and death, and that organisations should handle their own human resources matters. The Labour Department said employers and employees should clarify responsibility and compensation arrangements regarding ‘voluntary resignation’ to avoid unnecessary disputes.
社會福利署上月宣布推行社福界資助單位「疫苗通行證」措施,4月1日起所有在資助或津助的機構/單位工作的員工,須至少接種一劑疫苗,如沒打針又不持有醫生證明書,將不能繼續工作。社會工作者總工會(社總)向業界進行問卷調查,多於一半人表示機構要求不符合接種疫苗規定的員工「自願離職」,超過70人因無打針或將失去工作。社署回覆《獨媒》表示,接種疫苗減少重症及死亡是「不爭的事實」,而機構應自行處理人力資源事宜,勞工處則回覆表示僱傭雙方應就「自願離職」釐清責任及補償安排,避免不必要的爭議。
