大埔宏福苑五級火 | 出席殉職消防員路祭被指衣著花巧 大埔民政專員致歉
Firefighter Ho Wai-ho, who died in the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court five-alarm fire, was given a funeral with the highest honours by the Fire Services Department yesterday (19th). His coffin was taken first to the fire scene and then to Sha Tin Fire Station, where he had been stationed, for memorial and farewell ceremonies. Tai Po District Officer Hau Man (1974) Chan attended the memorial procession in a black-and-white patterned dress and was criticised by netizens for wearing attire that was too flashy.
The Home Affairs Department said on social media today (20th) that the Tai Po District Officer and her team had been handling the follow-up work with dedication, but that her choice of clothing at yesterday’s memorial procession had drawn public attention. The Tai Po District Officer expressed her sincere apology, stressing that she extended the highest respect and deepest condolences to Fire Services Department Senior Fireman Ho Wai-ho, posthumously promoted, who died in the line of duty. She said she would continue to handle the follow-up work at Wang Fuk Court properly.

宏福苑五級火｜政府首引《建管例》解散宏福苑法團管委會 委任華懋旗下公司管理
After the five-alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court, owners face complex issues including the way forward for repair works and insurance claims. The current and former chairmen of the owners’ corporation were earlier arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The government today (19th) invoked Section 31 of the Building Management Ordinance for the first time, applying to the Lands Tribunal to dissolve the management committee of the existing Wang Fuk Court Owners’ Corporation and appoint Hap On Management Limited, a subsidiary of the Chinachem Group, as the appointed manager to assist the estate’s owners in handling post-fire management and follow-up matters. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen said she was concerned about whether the current management committee had the ability to safeguard the owners’ interests in dealing with the various complex matters.

蘋果案裁決｜政府強烈譴責記協為黎智英洗白：混淆視聽，污衊特區
Jimmy Lai, founder of the former Next Digital group, was convicted of three offences, including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said yesterday (15th) that it was extremely disappointed by the verdict, claiming that Lai and the Apple Daily editorial staff had been imprisoned because of their journalistic work, causing “irreversible harm to Hong Kong’s press corps.” In a statement this morning, the HKSAR Government strongly condemned the HKJA and a number of anti-China foreign media outlets for “misleading the public and whitewashing Jimmy Lai.” It criticised the HKJA, saying that its lack of credibility and legitimacy, while styling itself as a representative of the journalism sector, was “despicable”; that it had deliberately conflated the Jimmy Lai case with press freedom; and that it had used different cases to sensationalise and denigrate the human rights and rule-of-law situation, thereby smearing the HKSAR. It described this as “an extremely despicable political operation.” The HKJA’s post can currently no longer be displayed on Facebook.

公僕水患｜鑫鼎鑫文件「樂百氏」變「百氏」 物流署助「釐清」 屢違約不退貨 審計署指需確認有否人為失誤 財庫局：紀律調查
The Government Logistics Department purchased bottled water worth HK$52.9 million from Xin Ding Xin Trading and was duped into receiving counterfeit water. After completing an audit, the Audit Commission said it was necessary to ascertain whether human error was involved in at least four matters. During the tender process, the Logistics Department had discovered that the manufacturer’s company seal provided by Xin Ding Xin read “Baishi” rather than “Robust”. The department only asked Xin Ding Xin to “clarify” the matter, after which the company “corrected” it. The Audit Commission said this was clearly a sign of fraud, and that the Logistics Department had fallen short by neither contacting Robust for verification nor reporting the matter to law enforcement agencies. In addition, Xin Ding Xin repeatedly breached the contract, with more than 20 bureaux and departments having lodged complaints, but the Logistics Department “never returned the goods”. The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau said it had invited Administrative Officer Staff Grade A1 Alice Yim Lau to conduct a disciplinary investigation into the human lapses identified in the Audit Commission’s recommendations.
政府物流服務署以 5290 萬元向鑫鼎鑫商貿買樽裝水，被呃得到冒牌水，審計署完成審核，指最少在四事宜需確認有否人為失誤，包括招標時，物流署曾揭發，鑫鼎鑫提供製造商公司印章為「百氏」而非「樂百氏」，物流署只向鑫鼎鑫「釐清」，對方其後「改正」。審計署認為，這明顯是詐騙跡象，物流署沒聯絡樂百氏核實，也沒向執法部門舉報，有所不足。此外，鑫鼎鑫屢次違約，逾 20 政策局及部門曾投訴，但物流署「從不退貨」。財經事務及庫務局表示，已邀請首長級甲一級政務官劉焱，就審計署建議書內點出的人為疏漏，進行紀律調查。

聯合國《禁止酷刑公約》報告 港府遲交逾五年 2019年反修例事件卸責
The Hong Kong Government was originally due to submit a report to the United Nations Committee against Torture (CAT) in December 2019 on the implementation of the Convention against Torture in Hong Kong. It submitted the report more than five years late and published its contents today (the 10th). The Government did not explain the delay. In the report, it referred to the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement, stressing that guidelines on police use of force complied with international human rights standards, and claimed that “if members of the public express their views peacefully and lawfully, the police do not need to use any force to maintain public order.”
In November 2015, CAT reviewed the implementation of the Convention in Hong Kong, at a time marking the first anniversary of the end of the 2014 Umbrella Movement. The committee expressed particular concern about the excessive use of tear gas, batons and pepper spray by police during the movement, which resulted in about 500 people being injured. CAT recommended that the Hong Kong Government conduct an independent investigation into allegations of excessive use of force by police, prosecute personnel involved in accordance with the law, and make public the guidelines on police use of force. CAT required the Government to submit a progress report by 9 December 2019, but the Government did not consult the public on the outline of the report until February 2021; during that period, there was no apparent public or Legislative Council discussion of the matter.
香港政府原定於2019年12月向聯合國禁止酷刑委員會（United Nations Committee against Torture, CAT）提交報告，交代《禁止酷刑公約》在香港的實施情況，但港府遲逾5年才向CAT提交報告，並於今日（10日）公布報告內容。港府未有解釋遲交原因，並在報告中提及2019年反修例運動，強調警方武力使用指引符合國際人權規範，聲稱「如果市民以和平守法的方式表達意見，警方無需使用任何武力維持治安」。
2015年11月，CAT曾審查《公約》在港執行情況，當時正值2014年雨傘運動結束一周年。委員會特別關注警方在運動期間過度使用催淚彈、警棍及胡椒噴霧，導致約500人受傷。CAT建議港府就警方過度使用武力的指控進行獨立調查、依法起訴涉事人員，並公開警方使用武力的準則。CAT當時要求港府須於2019年12月9日前提交進度報告，惟港府至2021年2月才就報告大綱諮詢公眾，期間未見公眾或立法會就此事展開討論。

垃圾收費｜埋單最少花 2.64 億元 拒公開指定袋合約金、銷售開支：涉商業資料未能透露
The Environment and Ecology Bureau announced at the end of last month that waste charging would “continue to be suspended”. Secretary for Environment and Ecology Tse Chin-wan said that understanding public sentiment demonstrated that the authorities were “doing their utmost to discharge their responsibilities”. Over the past four years, the government has spent at least $264 million promoting the policy. The Collective had earlier asked the government about expenditure on designated bags, designated labels and sales. The bureau replied that the matter had been handled in accordance with the contract terms and procedures, but details could not be disclosed because they “involved the commercial information of individual suppliers”. As for the 170 million designated bags, whose production cost was about $74 million, the authorities also did not disclose how many had been distributed or the current inventory, saying only that they were used for publicity and education and provided for use by government departments.
環境及生態局上月底公布「繼續暫緩」垃圾收費，局長謝展寰說掌握民情體現了當局「盡力履行責任」。過去四年，政府花費最少 2.64 億元推動政策，《集誌社》早前追問政府有關指定袋、指定標籤、銷售等開支數目；局方回覆指已據合約條款和程序處理，但由於「涉及個別供應商商業資料」未能透露詳情。至於生產成本約 7400 萬元的 1.7 億個指定袋，已派多少個、目前庫存為何？當局亦未透露數字，僅稱用於宣傳教育、提供予政府部門等使用。
