The Director of the Civil Service Bureau Nie Dequan said earlier that the Bureau is doing some internal research on the civil service oath and will submit a progress report to the Legislative Council next month. He emphasized that on the issue of oaths, civil servants must support the Basic Law and be loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. This is a consistent responsibility and very clear.

The current "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" draft states that Hong Kong people need to take an oath when taking up public office. This shows that the issue has been raised to the national level, and the civil servants to be ensured by the country must support the Basic Law and be loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. This is also in line with Nie Dequan's earlier argument that Hong Kong's civil servants are part of the country's governance system. Under the one country, two systems system, they are also civil servants of the SAR government and the state. Their dual roles must be considered when performing their duties.

Li Kuiyan, president of the Chinese Staff Association, responded that there is no time to discuss the relevant content. You need to understand the content of the text before responding.

The Director General of the Civil Servants’ Union Federation said that it is a proper thing for employees to be loyal to their employers, but he is worried that there will be restrictions on the expression of personal opinions of civil servants in the future, and it will have an impact on the government’s recruitment of elites, but he is not worried about the impact on internal morale and unions. jobs.

After the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" came into effect, if there were civil servants involved in carrying out or participating in loyalty to the Basic Law, Chen Hengbin believed that the simplest way is to dismiss directly. (Profile picture)
