Hong Kong civil service

Hong Kong's Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung Ho Poi-yan has vowed to cut more than 10,000 government posts by the end of June 2027, with close to 60 per cent in junior roles and about 3 per cent at senior levels. She described the move as not 'fattening the top but thinning the bottom', briefing legislators on the 2026-27 budget.
