    A frontline MTR staffer reveals his frustration with management to Apple Daily "Many people think MTR is full of blue ribbons. That's indeed true, especially those on the verge of retirement and already settled. They often say the rioters deserve to die"https://hk.lifestyle.appledaily.com/lifestyle/realtime/article/20190922/60066022 …

        "I know that some at management level and some of those in charge of company security are former auxiliary police officers." Because of this, staff don't dare express an #antiELAB viewpoint, since they fear being excluded or targeted

        "Even if protesters tear apart an entire station, we will not cut ties, because the problem is not with us, but with the company taking actions that sell out Hong Kong citizens." When asked whether the company sympathises with its staff, he laughed: "Are you joking?"

        "The company only allows us to borrow helmets, goggles and some surgical masks. I know some drivers who felt unwell after inhaling tear gas and took some leave days. The company said it would arrange a counselling hotline, I think they will also receive some supermarket coupons"

        He says many MTR staff silently support the protesters, but the public may not know this. He mentions a driver who violated company rules by refusing to open train doors at Prince Edward on August 31, even when a police officer pressed the emergency switch

        The staffer now says he plans to change jobs, even though joining MTR was a dream come true. He recalls the sadness he felt when he went home one evening in his uniform and was asked by some young people on the street: "Are you all totally serving the police and the regime?"

        That's why MTRC has already been made use as the CCP's railway whilst popo could anytime make use of it at their own will (e.g. rest room for popo, temporary detention place & even mobile cage for protesters & etc). Horrible! #MTRTerrorism

        Knew it a long time ago, the final say in operations controlled by top mgt.Even if he resigns fr his position, many more pro-china supporters can fill up.Tks for the staff who disobeyed order and didnt open door on #831TerroristAttack to let police in. He's a hero.
