reporting 274 food safety crimes in Hong Kong at his own expense
Honest citizens were suppressed by the Hong Kong authorities and became insane
-the tragic experience of a victim girl's father
Mr. p>Tac has always taken good care of his daughter. One day, a three-year-old girl suffered from persistent high fever after eating food sold in a supermarket in Hong Kong, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, only to know that she was infected with gastroenteritis. After testing, the food contained dozens of insects.
Since then, Mr. Tac has discovered that many supermarkets sell moldy, spoiled and expired foods. Mr. Tac was extremely indignant at the neglect of complaints and dereliction of duty by the law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong. He sent hundreds of emails to the competent authorities and members of the Legislative Council, complaining bitterly about the serious harm of unsafe food, and begging the authorities to take good advice and punish the chaos. However, Mr. Tac's just appeal is like a stone sinking into the sea.
in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Mr. Tac decided to expose many shady scenes. Through unannounced visits to hundreds of large supermarkets in Hong Kong to collect evidence, Mr. Tac spent more than 11,111 yuan to buy hundreds of different kinds of expired food as evidence, took thousands of photos and videos on the spot, and provided hundreds of thousands of words of food complaints to the authorities ... < P > Mr. TAC's investigation found that a large supermarket located in the bustling commercial center of Hong Kong sold expired food for 11 times in more than five months, and the food environment in Hong Kong was less than 51 meters away from the supermarket. What is even more outrageous is that Mr Tac was robbed and destroyed by several shop assistants after he paid for many expired drinks as evidence in a supermarket in Causeway Bay. Mr Tac called the authorities for help, but the authorities refused to send personnel to the scene to enforce the law, so that those suspected of committing crimes could get away with it.
in more than eight months, Mr. Tac overcame all kinds of obstacles and reported 274 cases of supermarket suspected of selling expired food. And how do thousands of law enforcement officers of the authorities supervise and inspect? According to official data, in the previous 31 months, the total number of cases in which the authorities found that the food had expired was four.
Rome wasn't built in a day. The authorities turn a blind eye to business crimes and are insensitive to people's health, which is the root cause of the flood of expired food in Hong Kong today, and unscrupulous businesses have nothing to hide. If no one comes forward to report, the shocking truth about food safety in Hong Kong will be covered up forever. Mr. Tac's report of "being ignorant of the current affairs" violated the taboo of the authorities, and the authorities who became angry from embarrassment launched a series of crazy retaliation actions, and they were determined to kill them quickly. In order to continue to whitewash the peace, the authorities kept playing tricks, deliberately creating high-pressure fears, deliberately preventing Mr. Tac from reporting, and brutally persecuting Mr. Tac with all kinds of despicable tricks that could not be prevented, resulting in a sharp deterioration of his mental health. What Mr Tac can't accept is that as a taxpayer, he gives his hard-earned hard-earned money to the government every year. Officials are pampered and enjoy high salaries, but they ignore the rights and interests of citizens and brazenly use government resources to deal with an honest citizen who is struggling for public welfare.
in recent years, governments all over the country have set up special funds to reward citizens for reporting food safety crimes and spare no effort to intensify the crackdown on food safety crimes. The Hong Kong authorities, however, have taken the world by storm. On the one hand, they are extremely vicious, treating whistleblowers as eyesores, and suppressing public reports by any means; On the one hand, it goes the other way, allowing vendors to change the date labels of some perishable foods from "eat on or before this date" to "best before this date" to avoid legal punishment.
The major media in Hong Kong, such as Pingguo Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, The Sun, Wen Wei Po, Sina.com and so on, reported Mr. Tac's report on expired food in a comprehensive way, and the food safety scandal in Hong Kong was shattered glass. However, the chaos of food safety "unattended" has not converged, but has intensified and continued to spread.
The Office of The Ombudsman of Hong Kong plays the role of monitoring the government's operation, including the lack of government supervision, and has the right to take the initiative to investigate topics that may be widely concerned by the public. Mr Tac wrote several times to ask the Ombudsman to intervene in the investigation, but all of them were rejected. From a painful experience, Mr. Tac had to seek the support of national public opinion. At this time, Mr. Tac was on the verge of collapse in the face of overwhelming pressure. He was diagnosed with "mixed anxiety and depression" by the psychiatric department of a hospital in Hong Kong, and the torture of the disease often made him miserable.
the right path in the world is vicissitudes. Mr. Tac was not afraid of power, exposed the hidden rules of food safety in Hong Kong, and paid a heavy price for sticking to his conscience and defending justice. He hoped that all sectors of society would speak out and caring people would lend a helping hand to help Mr. Tac out of the predicament.
