Hong Kong

HONG KONG'S anti-corruption agency that takes on tycoons and public officials is attracting scrutiny for an unlikely reason - the postponement of an annual staff dinner.

Reports in local media of a staff "boycott" of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) event, originally scheduled for Friday night, and the exits of the agency's operational head and a senior investigator have led lawmakers and academics to ask whether all is well at the organisation.
