The Po Leung Kuk, Hong Kong's oldest and largest charity, has appointed 16 staff members as "national security tutors" under a government initiative aimed at promoting national security awareness. Senior service managers May Cheung and Sherman Cheung volunteered to become tutors, stating that the team will spread awareness through events like the Mid-Autumn Festival and will not "force-feed" national security concepts.
The organization will implement a four-tier approach to promote national security, including staff training, exhibitions, education for service users, and community outreach. The Po Leung Kuk, founded in 1878, now operates various social services, including elderly care homes, rehabilitation clinics, healthcare facilities, holiday camps, and schools across Hong Kong.
Last year, the Social Welfare Department invited 200 subsidized non-governmental social service organizations to nominate managerial-level staff to undergo training as national security instructors. Each instructor is expected to promote national security information to at least 30 people annually.
