Secretary for the Civil Service
In October 2022, Yeung announced that the Civil Service code of conduct would be updated to remove the "political neutrality" core value.[2] In addition, Yeung also said "Events in recent years and the international situation today shows the importance of patriots administering Hong Kong."[2]
In August 2023, Yeung said that civil servants would need to declare all arrests, and could be transferred to other positions or fired; one union representative asked why this was necessary for those found innocent.[3]
In January 2024, Yeung said that civil servants should be careful of their personal opinions and must speak carefully, both in their personal lives and online.[4]
