Legco probe: Ted Hui should be censured over phone snatching in 2018File photo shows Ted Hui. A Legislative Council probe has found that Democratic Party lawmaker Ted Hui Chi-fung should be censured over a phone-snatching incident at the legislature in 2018. The investigation committee said allegations that he acted "violently and showed no respect to a government official" are substantiated. But the committee said the opposition lawmaker’s acts were "unacceptable", as nobody would expect that his or her phone would be grabbed in a place as "highly regarded" as Legco, let alone by a legislator. According to the Basic Law, a lawmaker could be disqualified if a censure motion is backed by two-thirds of the Legco members present.-RTHK/The Standard
