Han Zheng, Vice Premier of the State Council in charge of Hong Kong and Macao affairs, met with representatives of the Hong Kong People's Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing yesterday (7th).
Among them, Chen Yong, a representative of the Hong Kong People's Congress, quoted that the central government supports the SAR government to implement the main responsibility to fight the epidemic, emphasizing that it is not "a matter for the chief executive", all government departments must go all out, and all civil servants must protect the lives and health of the common people. Health is paramount.
In the past period of time, civil servants have been questioned for not being fully committed to the epidemic prevention work, or even being arranged to work from home; some political parties have also questioned why local workers are "flying sand and stones" to help residents, while civil servants can slowly "fly" Awaiting call."
Ye Liu Shuyi, chairman of the New Democracy Party and a member of the Legislative Council who has served as a civil servant for many years, said that the characteristics of civil servants must be waiting for recruitment. The problem is how the leadership deploys these personnel. The Hong Kong government seems to have failed to properly plan for a period of time, and even released it to the public. Some perceptions of "civil servants have nothing to do when they are idle".
Yan Wenyu asked: Why do local workers "do the government's part"
DAB Legislative Council member Gan Wenyu recently mentioned on social media that he does not understand why local workers are fighting on the front lines to collect anti-epidemic supplies for the citizens, but civil servants can "wait at home".
He replied to the reporter of "Hong Kong 01" and pointed out that from the perspective of the public, seeing so many people waiting for support at home after being diagnosed, but the government's support hotline can be "extremely unreachable", of course, he will question where the government's 180,000 people have gone.
He pointed out: "We are currently doing support work in the region every day, providing epidemic prevention information for people who are quarantined at home. These tasks were not originally responsible for us (regional workers), the government is the main force, and we are the auxiliary, but the current situation is not at all. Government departments pay attention to them, at least the user experience is like this. If the government really thinks about the well-being of the citizens, and 180,000 civil servants are mobilized to provide support, I don’t believe that there will be no one listening when there is a call.” He said that many government departments usually face the The experience of the public, such as the LCSD, 1823, etc.,
Yan Wenyu pointed out that from what Vice Premier Han Zheng mentioned about civil servants today, it can be seen that the central government officials are very clear about the problems faced by Hong Kong citizens, and hope that the SAR government can truly achieve clear information, proper coordination and general mobilization, and live up to the central government and Hong Kong citizens. Don't waste so much anti-epidemic support given by the central government.
Ye Liu: It has begun to improve recently
Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that, of course, most civil servants need to wait for the instructions of their superiors. The problem is how to deploy senior leaders.
She pointed out that the work culture of the mainland and Hong Kong is different. Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster in the mainland, officials in the relevant areas must go to the front line to assist in commanding. Working hours, wait for instructions from superiors.
Therefore, from the perspective of mainland officials, it may be very strange why there are so many human resources in Hong Kong civil servants that have not been used.
Ye Liu pointed out that the original intention of the government to arrange employees to work from home is to reduce the flow of people, but after implementation, it is found that the suspension of some public services actually has a great impact on the society, and may give the outside world the illusion of "returning to work".
She believes that the government has not understood how to properly use these manpower for a period of time, but it seems that it has begun to improve recently. It has been actively deploying personnel from different departments and ranks to participate in the anti-epidemic work, such as regional enclosures and forced inspections, and even reports that The universal testing will recruit a large number of civil servants, and even employees of publicly funded institutions such as the Legislative Council may have to join.
