【致Tim Cook 的公開信：促Apple Store停止政治審查員工】

Hongkongers' concerns over workplace censorship at HK Apple Stores

Dear Mr Cook,

I am writing on behalf of Hongkongers to express our concerns over Apple’s protection on its employees’ right to free expression after our national security law has been put in place.

Recently I have received several complaints from current workers at Apple Store in Hong Kong, who blasted the company’s managers for imposing restrictive guidelines at the workplace, including banning employees from wearing yellow masks or those printed with “Hong Kong”.

Workers are also required not to decorate their Memojis with yellow or black accessories, the colours that are often interpreted as pro-protest support. Apple store managers even threatened to sack workers who refuse to change their Memoji colours. The incident raises profound concerns over whether Apple introduces censorship at the workplace.

As a global leader in innovation, there is a growing expectation that Apple should be the leading champion of free expression. Especially under the newly enacted national security law in the city, Apple is also expected to play a more active role to push back on Beijing’s censorship, both overt or covert, on free expressions, including Apple’s employees.

As early as in 2013, you stressed that workplace equality is good for business, pledging to create a safe and welcoming workplace for employees and ensuring there is no need to check their identity at the door. After the tragic killing of George Floyd, you also issued an open letter to the company's employees to reiterate the importance of diversity and vow to "build an Apple that is inclusive of everyone." This inspirational message should be the core value that Apple stands for and also applicable to its employees in Hong Kong.

Since the saga will definitely undermine the company’s reputation and raise more doubts on its commitment to liberal values that its customers care most, I hope Apple can affirm its commitment to the principle of freedom of expression and introduce concrete measures to protect employees from future workplace censorship. We look forwards to hearing from you.

All the best,
Joshua Wong

Young girls in Singapore today grow up in a world that their grandmothers could not have imagined when they themselves were children. Women’s standing in Singapore has improved greatly. But we still need to make more progress in the way men and women treat each other, and the sort of society we want to be. That was why we launched the Conversations on Singapore Women’s Development last year.

This morning, I met virtually with some of the partners and participants involved in this major undertaking, at the closing session of the Conversations. ​​

I talked about three issues which came up repeatedly: equal opportunities at the workplace, caregiver support, and protection for women. They reflect our fundamental values of taking care of one another in society, giving every individual a fair shot at success, and ensuring everyone receives equal protection in Singapore.

All of us must play our part, to enable Singapore women to participate to the full. Together, let us work towards our vision of a fairer, more inclusive society, where our daughters and sons can thrive in a better age.

South Asians are part of the Hong Kong society. In the workplace, equality is making sure people are given equal opportunities, equal pay and are well accepted for their differences. It is about fostering a safe, secure and inclusive workplace where people with diverse backgrounds can thrive.
