Yes, what is the reason of the arrest? One can’t help thinking that the police are not being independent and not doing their job professionally but being subservient to those cronies of the ministers. The IGP has agreed to implement the independent police commission to look into the misdoings of the police - what has come of it?
Guys It all depends on which direction the country is taking--for Good or Bad. It seems now they have taken the later path. When incompetent idiots take position they will not know the correct way to manage but indulge in their own emotional stupidity for control.
These companies think during MCO they can do as they wish and trample on the cleaners rights. The police must release these people immediately because they were just expressing their plight and observing social distancing as well
HO ho HO did you guys know GLCs is just another form of blood s@ckers out to cheat the rakyat. Their bosses are paid nothing less than 60k per month plus benefits. Here you have a GLC outfit cheating and harassing workers who earn 1k per month. Such a pathetic state.
Soon we may have demonstrations like in the US if the government keeps on giving GLC positions to PN MPs
Why have they been arrested? We do have freedom of assembly in Malaysia. 5 people exercising their right to picket is not unlawful. They did not cause damage, were peaceful albeit a bit noisy. Is PSM the only political party that will stand up for workers rights?

Coronavirus: doctors blame Hong Kong’s outdated IT systems for slowing Covid-19 response, delaying reopening of mainland border ‘Electronic health certificate’ plan for cross-border commuters hit by poor storage, sharing of data Government’s slow processes, use of faxes, have caused delays for Covid-19 patients, doctors say Archaic IT systems and bureaucracy have hindered Hong Kong’s anti-pandemic drive and are slowing efforts to reopen its border with mainland China, public health insiders say. The city has turned a corner in the crisis, with only a handful of local infections recorded in recent weeks. It has confirmed a total of 1,082 cases and four deaths. But frontline doctors in the public and private sectors told the Post there have been problems developing an electronic health certificate for cross-border travellers and in sharing data across departments.
They worry that these hitches will also hinder the city’s ability to guard against a potential new wave of infections. To safely reopen the border for businessmen, students and families living on both sides, Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan Siu-chee said on May 2 that the government was exploring a mutually-recognised health system with Guangdong and Macau. That involves using an electronic certificate to indicate the risk level of individuals based on their state of health, contact with Covid-19 patients and travel history. The plan could allow such commuters to skip 14-day mandatory quarantine when they cross the border. However, a government source familiar with the situation said the plan had been delayed by Hong Kong’s outdated technology. “Macau and Zhuhai have set up a similar system that is up and running, but there are concerns about privacy and IT security if we join them and pool our data,” the source said, adding that Hong Kong had been slow to implement a citywide digital system to store health information.
Dr Arisina Ma Chung-yee, president of the Hong Kong Public Doctors’ Association, pointed to the lack of an effective IT interface and ongoing challenges in sharing data efficiently between the Department of Health, which is responsible for contact tracing and confirming Covid-19 infections, and the Hospital Authority, which treats the patients in public hospitals. “When a Covid-19 patient arrives at our door, we need to go into the part of the Department of Health’s system that we can access, and double-check the patient’s test report,” she said. “It can take half a day on a weekday, or a whole weekend if it is a Friday, before the information is recorded there.” That could result in admission delays, as a patient must be kept in a separate room and could not be moved to an isolation ward with confirmed Covid-19 patients to avoid potential cross infections, Ma said. Even discharging a recovered patient can be delayed, as all those who test negative twice for Covid-19 still need the Department of Health’s approval before being allowed to leave hospital. Ma said: “We need to fax them the test reports, as their IT system is not compatible with ours and they cannot access the information online.”
A senior medical officer who looked after Covid-19 patients in a public hospital recalled that at the height of the epidemic, there were numerous calls daily from staff of the Centre for Health Protection, quarantine centres and the Hospital Authority, all asking if his hospital has beds available and can accept new patients. He blamed the poor data exchange between the various health bodies on obsolete systems and bureaucratic attitudes that went back decades. For example, he said, the health department’s chest clinics could not retrieve tuberculosis patients’ medical history digitally even with the patients’ consent. “Everything has to be faxed or hand-delivered,” he added. The issue was not privacy concerns, he said, as public hospitals already had digital data-sharing arrangements with some private hospitals, provided patients consented.
Hong Kong Doctors Union president Dr Henry Yeung Chiu-fat declared the public health sector’s IT system “past its use-by date”. “The government’s IT system and mode of operation have been unfit for a long time. This epidemic has just exposed their weaknesses and the need for urgent reform,” said Yeung, a paediatrician in private practice. He said many private practitioners hesitated to use the health department’s free Covid-19 testing scheme for their patients because of the inconvenience in obtaining test reports that were faxed over. “Not all private doctors still have a fax machine in their clinics,” Yeung said. Until recently, the department was sending faxes to some clinics indirectly through private laboratories, which in turn charged the doctors an administrative fee. “The reason, I suspect, is that the government didn’t have our fax numbers in its database and was concerned about sending sensitive patient information to the wrong people,” he said.
Francis Fong Po-kiu, honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Information Technology Federation, said old and outdated IT systems were being used across many government departments. “Many of them resisted reforms because of the inconvenience in transferring an archive of decades-old data into a new one, an unwillingness to adapt to new technology or simply the attitude of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’,” he said. “But the fact is, many of the government IT systems are broken and need an overhaul.” The Department of Health said it had developed an electronic platform with the Hospital Authority in late January for “real time reporting and monitoring” of suspected Covid-19 cases, including laboratory results.
Hong Kong should form ‘travel bubbles’ with neighbours that have pandemic under control, tourism board chief says Creating links with nations such as South Korea, Thailand and even mainland China could bring visitors back to city, according to Dane Cheng Australia and New Zealand are already discussing such an arrangement, while Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have opened their borders to one another
Hong Kong should form “travel bubbles” with regional neighbours that have similar success in containing the coronavirus pandemic as a way to bring back visitors who stopped travelling due to the health crisis, the city’s tourism promotion body says. Hong Kong Tourism Board chief executive Dane Cheng Ting-yat on Friday called on the government to pursue the creation of such links with short-haul markets such as Macau, South Korea, Thailand and even mainland China. With arrivals falling nearly 100 per cent to 4,100 in April against the same period last year, the scheme could be a way to bring back travellers. “It is the right time to look at it,” Cheng said.
Nations such as Australia and New Zealand are already discussing forming a travel bubble. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have struck an arrangement allowing residents to travel freely without undergoing quarantine.
As part of a near-term strategy to revive tourism, Cheng said the board would introduce 11,000 enticements covering food, shopping, hotels and attractions, among others, from the middle of June in a campaign called “Hello Hong Kong”.
“If the promotions go well, we will extend it to overseas travellers in the next stage,” he said, adding the campaign could cost about HK$40 million (US$5.15 million).
Asked whether Beijing’s sudden proposal to enact a national security law in Hong Kong would worsen social unrest that began last year, Cheng said: “Overseas visitors’ major concern is still about the development and containment of the coronavirus pandemic. We need to deal with this first.” A spokeswoman for the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau said it was preparing to relaunch Hong Kong’s tourism sector after assessing the advice from health authorities, and working out quarantine, transportation and immigration arrangements with overseas markets.
Hong Kong recorded two new Covid-19 cases on Friday, both imported cases, taking the tally to 1,065. The city on average recorded fewer than 100 arrivals a day in the first four months of this year compared with the roughly 200,000 during normal times. Global travel has ground to a halt, with more than 65 airlines cutting about 95 per cent of flights in April and May. Cheng said it would take a longer time for Hong Kong tourism to recover as many long-haul flights were not expected to resume until the fourth quarter of this year.
David Tse Ka-shing was taking his daily exercise, jogging through Soho in the heart of London, in the early days of Britain’s coronavirus lockdown in March, when he found himself at the receiving end of a racist outburst that dragged him back to the darkest times of his childhood. The Hong Kong-born actor and director had just passed a white, female pedestrian in her early 30s at a safe distance when she barked at him to “F*** off back to China.” When Tse turned back in dismay and replied, “I’m British. How dare you?”, she yelled, “Take your f***ing virus home with you.” For Tse, 55, who moved to England with his family at the age of six, the foul-mouthed outburst was a shocking wake-up call to a tide of racism unleashed by the coronavirus pandemic in his adopted country. “The UK was incredibly racist when I grew up here in the 70s and 80s,” he recalls of his boyhood in the West Midlands town of Leominster. “We lived in a small market town and my parents ran a fish-and-chip shop and Chinese takeaway. Every Friday and Saturday night we used to get racist behaviour from drunken customers. They would come in to be served and at the same time abuse us.
“This happened throughout my childhood because me and my siblings all worked in my parents’ takeaway when we were old enough. My parents were somewhat shielded because they were working in the kitchen, so we bore the brunt of it. “I remember thinking, ‘Why the hell did we ever leave Hong Kong?’ I grew up on Cheung Chau, part of a warm, loving, interconnected large community of family and friends. I had an idyllic childhood and then I arrived in this country that was cold, grey and unwelcoming.” Tse came to believe Britain had grown more civilised and tolerant. He was the founding artistic director of the Yellow Earth Theatre, which showcases East Asian talent, and has directed productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Barbican.
