[12] Chief Executive Carrie Lam and several government officials organised a press conference on 22 July 2020, more than ten hours after the mob attack, to respond to media enquiries.
During the press conference, Qoser confronted Lam and Commissioner of Police Stephen Lo over the government's delayed response to the attack.
[14] Her sharp questioning of government officials was praised in the media and on Internet forums, with netizens calling her a "reporter with conscience" (Chinese: 良心記者).
Ho insisted that the attack was triggered by Lam Cheuk-ting bringing people to Yuen Long to provoke locals.
The RTHK Program Staff Union strongly opposed the extension to Qoser's probation period, considering it to be "very unfair" and "unjustified suppression".
Union leader Gladys Chiu said Qoser had completed six reviews within her probation period, where any issues with her professional work would have been raised already.
[11] According to information obtained by Ming Pao, the decision was made following pressure from executive organs external to RTHK.
Union leader Chiu condemned the handling of the case as "unprecedented, arbitrary and non-transparent", and described the decision as amounting to a "termination of employment, in fact".
[26][27] Since 3 May, RTHK under the new management began to remove the censored program archives in YouTube such as Headliner, Hong Kong Connection and This Week.
Abusive comments about Qoser, targeting her skin colour and ethnicity, appeared on pro-Beijing social media pages.
