     Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) co-hosted the “Living the Dream in Hong Kong” online job fair with recruitment platforms in Hong Kong and the Mainland this afternoon (June 12), with over 240 000 views and over 2 000 job applications submitted online in about two hours, during which talent interested in coming to Hong Kong could learn more about the development opportunities of various sectors across the city.

     In his opening remarks for the job fair, the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, said he hopes that the webcast could help those interested in coming to Hong Kong to better understand Hong Kong’s talent attraction initiatives, and assist them in mapping out their career paths in Hong Kong through the sectors’ information and job opportunities shared by representatives of participating organisations.

     The job fair featured six large public and private organisations in Hong Kong, offering over 500 job vacancies. Most of the vacancies required applicants to hold a bachelor’s degree or above, whereas individual professional positions required postdoctoral qualifications, such as data business analysts, cloud infrastructure engineers, cyber security analysts, and postdoctoral fellows in artificial intelligence.

     A spokesman for HKTE said that it will continue to collaborate with designated partners to organise diverse online and offline activities, and facilitate different sectors in attracting quality talent with a view to injecting impetus for Hong Kong’s long-term development.

     Job applications can be submitted online in the coming month. Interested persons may visit xjh.zhaopin.com/live/15861 (Chinese only) to review the job fair, or refer to HKTE’s social media for details.

     Hong Kong Customs yesterday (June 11) arrested a director of a pharmacy who was suspected of possessing anti-itching baby liquids with false trade descriptions for sale, in contravention of the Trade Descriptions Ordinance (TDO).

     Following a referral from a related organisation, Customs earlier conducted an investigation upon a type of anti-itching baby liquid with false claims of its composition. The product package shows in Japanese that there is an anti-itching agent, Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, in the baby liquids. However, the test results of samples from the Government Laboratory revealed that there is no such composition present. 

     After a follow-up investigation, Customs officers yesterday arrested a 33-year-old female director of the pharmacy concerned. The case is still under investigation. The arrested person has been released on bail pending further investigation.
           
     Customs reminds traders to comply with the requirements of the TDO. Also, consumers are reminded to purchase products from reputable shops and to have a clear knowledge of the product details before purchase.
           
     Under the TDO, any person who supplies goods with a false trade description in the course of trade or business, or has in his/her possession for sale any goods with a false trade description, commits a criminal offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $500,000 and imprisonment for five years. 

     Members of the public may report any suspected violation of the TDO to Customs’ 24-hour hotline 2545 6182 or its dedicated crime-reporting email account (crimereport@customs.gov.hk) or online form (eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/ced002).
