Calls for probe after Hong Kong official posts about alleged ferry, hotel perks
AI Summary
A Hong Kong official, Ricky Cheng Chun-sang, director of the Tianjin Liaison Unit, is facing scrutiny after posting on social media about alleged perks he received, including a private ferry cabin and a hotel suite upgrade. The posts, which have since been removed, prompted calls for an investigation into potential conflicts of interest. Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, a member of the Executive Council, deemed Cheng's behavior "highly indiscreet" and urged the Civil Service Bureau to investigate. Authorities have stated that the hotel upgrade did not involve public funds and that an investigation into the ferry cabin incident is underway, promising serious action if violations are found. The social media posts thanked a TurboJet executive for the private cabin on a trip between Hong Kong and Macau.
