Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor met the reporter again and bluntly expressed disappointment to Xu Yingwei and the officials present: "This time, when the epidemic was severe, especially after Omicron entered the community, they still attended these large gatherings. I am disappointed, especially the Secretary of Home Affairs. ."

This accountability system does not mean that I have to take personal responsibility for the personal decisions and actions of every colleague.
If you say that I have the responsibility of leadership, then if the overall epidemic is not well controlled, whether it is because of this matter or another matter, of course I will be responsible.
I have never shirked that I am the first person in charge of the fight against the epidemic in Hong Kong. Therefore, the Chief Executive is responsible for what is done well or not.
Regarding the poor performance of individual officials in this incident, as the Chief Executive, I will take appropriate actions, but today I cannot tell you what these appropriate actions are.

He bluntly said that the incident gave the public a poor perception and was disappointed with the overall performance of the SAR government, and he also pointed to tightening. Anti-epidemic measures have made the public and the catering and retail industry thunderous, but officials still attend large gatherings, which is inconsistent with the severity of the epidemic and the ban on food. They believe that the government cannot be merciful to the citizens.
