Hong Kong Lawmaker Regina Ip Calls for Public Not to Overreact to Cathay Pacific Incident

What’s new: The public shouldn’t overreact to an incident on a Cathay Pacific flight last week that led to a discrimination complaint, said Hong Kong Executive Council Convenor Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee.

A passenger on a Cathay Pacific flight from Chengdu to Hong Kong complained in an online post last week that flight attendants made fun of mainland passengers for requesting a “carpet” instead of a blanket in English.
