RTHK's acting deputy director of broadcasting, Kirindi Chan, has resigned after serving less than a year, the broadcaster reports. The 58-year-old’s resignation comes as the public broadcaster is embroiled in a series of controversies regarding the impartiality of its programmes. It said Chan resigned over health reasons. Chan, a veteran producer, had spent over two decades making and overseeing current affairs TV shows. In 2016, the staff union had protested publicly over what it said was the delayed promotion of Chan who was acting assistant director at the time.
