Q&A: Should Hong Kong police force accept a wage cut instead of demand pay rate increase during economic downturn?
Question by Tom H: Should Hong Kong police force accept a wage cut instead of demand pay rate increase during economic downturn?
According to the Ming Pao Daily News, Chinese edition, dated June 20, 2009, in the editorial paper, published an article indicating that all Hong Kong police workers are well paid. I think it is due the greedy catholic freak Hong Kong chief executive, Donald Tsang Yum-kuen raised his overpaid salary by HK $ 90,000 on top of his already too much overpaid salary of HK 0,000 per month. Instantly all Hong Kong civil servants had an average of 6% wage hike, a few had more than 10% wage increased followed the greedy pay raise of every civil servant last year.
The editorial page has provided a clear indication with comparison to local university graduates is stated in the following.
Police force member with Form 3 education (equivalent to grade 8 of North America educational standard) after completing the formal police training ranging from 3-6 months, he or she gets HK $ 16,160/ month.
Those with Form 5 education get HK ,650/month.
Average of all Hong Kong university graduates get HK $ 15,460 per month.
The editorial page also recalled the 1977 police riot occurred after the newly Hong Kong ICAC (Independent Corp Against Corruption) established. The more than 2,000 police riot disturbed and sabataged the government offices and the local ICAC after they laid a charge against the 200 police members involved the received bribes. Hong Kong police has been the most corrupted law enforcement group and it is played in the recent movie with Chinese dialog named as I Corrupt All Cops (ICAC) which is quite ironic to reflect the totally corrupted Hong Kong Police Force in history, ever. Every police member was accepting the bribes from their superiors who got the bribes from drug dealers, underground gambling casinos, whore houses, smuggling, and many other illegal activities. It was boasted that the total bribed monies is more than the total Hong Kong reserved money in 1997.
In view of just the pay rate of police force members in comparison to local university graduated workers. Many Hong Kong citizens and I are agreed that all Hong Kong civil servants are deserved a pay rate cut.
According to another page mentioned that the Hong Kong elected legislator, Long Hair, Leung Koc Hung suggested that all Hong Kong senior rank civil servants and top officials should have at least 25% wage cut. I personally think that Long Hair should the lead the cut of his overpaid wage by at least 6-10%. How we are going to stop the protest of those well paid Hong Kong policmen underway still remaind a question of the public concern. Many suggest that the good Chinese Liberation Army should do the job to maintain the Hong Kong peace for the possible police protest leading to the riot in the next few days. Many and I suggest that Donald Tsang should cut at least 50% of his overpaid salary that he is absolutely not deserved. If so, he will still make more than Barrack Obama, the most popular US president in history. Donald Tsang is deserved to the public curse every day.
If you have any doubt, you may send to: editorial@MingPao.com or SCMP.com (SCMP post hasn’t publish any relevant information regarding the police protest could lead to a riot as it happened in 1977).
