Hong Kong’s civil servant unions demand lawmaker Alice Mak address claims she shouted profanity at Chief Executive Carrie Lam over extradition bill
- Alice Mak urged to come clean about whether she directed swear words at city’s leader
- If she did it, civil servant organisations demand public apology
Hong Kong’s civil service unions have called on a pro-Beijing lawmaker to confirm whether she shouted expletives at the city’s chief executive over the government’s handling of the botched extradition bill.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants’ Association and the Federation of Civil Service Unions, urged Alice Mak Mei-kuen, a lawmaker for the Federation of Trade Unions, to come forward.
If that was the case, the unions said, Mak owed Lam a public apology.
“Any public official, including the chief executive, bureau heads, civil servants of all levels, should not be subjected to any assaults of verbal violence when they are performing their duties,” the statement said. “Legislative councillors should be a role model for Hong Kong people, especially the younger generation, not the opposite.”
Mak did not respond to the Post’s requests for a comment.
