A former Legislative Council member, Doreen Kong, has publicly condemned current lawmakers for their lack of response to allegations of student abuse by a basketball coach. Despite claims of abuse, the coach faced no prosecution due to a police investigation concluding there was “insufficient evidence” to support charges. Kong, who previously served in the legislature, expressed disappointment over the silence from sitting members regarding the well-being of the students involved. She believes the legislature has a responsibility to address such serious claims and advocate for those potentially harmed. The case highlights concerns about accountability and the protection of students within the education system. The lack of legislative action has sparked criticism and raised questions about prioritisation of student safety. Kong’s comments underscore the need for greater transparency and support for victims of alleged abuse.
