Li Pak-yee

A senior Hong Kong government official, identified as Li Pak-yee, was asked to resign and left her post last month. This action was taken to assume responsibility for faulty lift installation work at Queen Mary Hospital's new block, which caused delays in its launch. The incident also impacted other projects under her purview. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu has vowed accountability, instructing the Development Bureau to submit a report within a month on the faulty lift installations. The bureau is tasked with holding construction firms and government personnel responsible for the defective work. While the official's resignation addresses accountability for missteps, experts have criticized the authorities' handling of civil service management in this situation.
