Pro-Beijing Councilor Got Paid to Sleep and Tried Hard "Not to Interfere the Meetings"
When the Financial Budget 2020/2021 was read in Hong Kong's Legislative Council on February 26, Pro-Beijing lawmaker Wong Ting-kwong kept his usual posture, which he once referred as "human nature", and "the meeting won't be interfered whether he sleeps or not."
Wong has a seat in the functional constituency that is not generated by direct election. He represents import and export industry and belongs to the pro-Beijing party, DAB. He has been elected uncontestedly since 2004.

Prosecution Criminalizes Man for Carrying Sugar as Potential Connection to Petrol Bombs
Two pro-democracy protesters were arrested for "possession of tools suitable for illegal use and intention for illegal use" on the International Human Rights Day and the New Year's day, respectively. The charges were revoked in court on February 26 as evidence was inadequate.
The 19-year-old construction site worker applied to recover related litigation costs, but was opposed by the prosecution. The prosecution previously pointed to the bags of sugar found in the man's backpack at the time of arrest in connection to petrol bombs. According to the prosecution, the man was laying himself open for suspicion by carrying sugar.
After the court session, aggrieved defendants expressed their dissatisfaction. The 19-year-old recalled that police officers kept threatening him, saying "no one could protect you, even the almighty Jesus can't save you!" at the police station.
