HONG KONG (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A birthday party attended by more than 100 people including senior officials and politicians is causing more headaches for Hong Kong authorities already scrambling to contain at least two growing Omicron Covid-19 clusters in the city and reimpose stricter control measures.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Thursday (Jan 6) said she was "highly disappointed" that 10 officials including Home Affairs Secretary Caspar Tsui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui and Undersecretary Joseph Chan, as well as Police Commissioner Raymond Siu, had attended the banquet in Wan Chai on Monday (Jan 3).
