Hong Kong media: The probation period was arrested for illegal assembly, the Commissioner of Hong Kong Customs intends to dismiss 3 customs officers
[Global Network Comprehensive Reporter Zhao Youping] Three customs officers of Hong Kong Customs were arrested on suspicion of illegal assembly. Hong Kong’s Sing Tao Daily was informed that the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Deng Yihai, intends to quote the probation period provisions listed in the Civil Service Regulations. These three customs officers who have been employed for less than 3 years have been dismissed, especially for the sake of persuasion.
Three customs officers of the Hong Kong Customs were arrested on July 1 for participating in illegal demonstrations. At that time, Deng Yihai expressed his anger at the incident, emphasizing that he would never appease the illegal subordinates, and suspended three of them on the same day. "Sing Tao Daily" learned that the customs officers involved included two men and one woman. They graduated from the same customs trainee training class and had been employed for less than three years and are still in the probation period. Deng Yihai intends to quote the relevant provisions of the probation period listed in the "Civil Service Affairs Regulations" to dismiss three people. According to the regulations, there is no need to wait for the results of prosecution, trial and judgment.
Although according to the Regulations, the Commissioner of Customs can dismiss the customs officer who has not yet completed the probation period based on disciplinary issues, the source revealed that the Commissioner will wait for the police investigation report and investigate the specific circumstances of the three customs officers suspected of breaking the law before making the final Decide.
A reporter from Sing Tao Daily searched the information and found that the website of the Hong Kong Civil Service Bureau stated that new recruits at the basic ranks of civil service grades would normally be hired on probation terms for 3 years before they would consider long-term employment applicable at the time. Terms are employed. In other words, the civil servant has a three-year probationary period. In the past, the relevant personnel failed to pass the probationary period because they participated in the demonstration.
As for civil servants who have been employed for three years, the Hong Kong Civil Service Bureau has stated earlier that the government has an established mechanism to deal with civil servants’ disciplinary matters. If it is found that a criminal offence has been committed, the disciplinary officer will be disciplined after the criminal procedure is completed. Actions include verbal warnings, written warnings, reprimands, severe reprimands, downgrades, forced retirement or dismissal. In addition, the Hong Kong Civil Service Bureau also stated that the suspension arrangement is not a disciplinary action or “unprior judgment”, but is based on the public interest and believes that the relevant personnel are temporarily unsuitable to continue to exercise their public powers and functions.
A spokesman for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government said that according to the information available to the Civil Service Bureau, 44 civil servants arrested on suspicion of participating in illegal public activities, are currently under police investigation or prosecuted, and 43 of them have been suspended so far, emphasizing that they are illegal against civil servants. "Zero tolerance" will never be tolerated.
