A legislator has criticised the practice of not hoisting the national flag at police stations as 'showing no respect' to the country.
Wong Kwok-hing, of the Federation of Trade Unions, pressed for a change yesterday.
A review last year led to an additional 108 government venues hoisting the national flag.
Wong said: 'Premises which hoisted the British flag before the handover should now hoist Chinese flag. That is so simple. All government venues should hoist the flag.'
He said police stations only raised the national flag on special days - New Year's Day, National Day, and July 1 to mark the handover anniversary. On other days only the Hong Kong SAR flag and the police flag were raised at the more than 60 police stations.
'Does that mean our police - a disciplinary force - show no respect to the country?' Wong said.
