Police welcome warning to RTHK

By www.news.gov.hk
Published On :: Tue, 21 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0800

Police today welcomed the Communications Authority’s decision that Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) should be seriously warned regarding complaints against an episode of its programme Pentaprism broadcast on November 20, 2019.

 

Police said it had taken note of the press release issued by the authority on April 20 about its decision.

     

The authority found that the host’s remarks made in the programme were irresponsible and could be regarded as hate speech with the effect of inciting hatred against Police.

 

The remarks were also unfair to and were capable of adversely affecting Police’s reputation.

 

The authority took the view that the complaints in respect of accuracy, incitement of hatred and fairness were substantiated and decided that RTHK should be seriously warned.

     

Since the anti-extradition bill protests in June last year, rumours have been circulating to defame and smear Police in an attempt to disrupt its relations with the community, the force said.

 

Police reiterated that they are willing to accept criticisms which are constructive and based on goodwill, but they do not accept inaccurate or misleading reports and remarks, and will follow up as appropriate.

Police refute media report

By www.news.gov.hk
Published On :: Mon, 04 May 2020 00:00:00 +0800

In response to a media report, Police today dismissed allegations that Commissioner of Police Tang Ping-keung turned a blind eye to unauthorised building works at a flat he rented.

 

The force expressed regret over the unfounded report and said that its content deviated from the facts.

      

Mr Tang rented a unit on Broadcast Drive in Kowloon Tong in 2016 and was notified by the Buildings Department in 2017 that there were unauthorised building works on the unit’s rooftop that must be removed.

 

He immediately informed the owner of the removal order and requested him to handle the matter. The owner has not complied with the order.

 

Mr Tang moved out of the unit in June 2019, Police added.
