Without a doubt, reforms are merry sounds of hope. But one can't help but notice the hypocrisy in the latest proposals set forth by the government, which heavily contradicts past remarks made by the very same ministers. Is it not a disgrace to sugarcoat the political reality and honeyfuggle the outraged populace by addressing materials needs while bypassing the raging political demands?!

Carrie Lam Finally Wears A Face Mask

[Editor's note: To prevent contracting the novel coronavirus, face mask should be worn. Everyone should keep their hands and avoid touching the face and eyes.]

According to the Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan, a face mask is unnecessary in regular social situation, if there is no symptom: “Unless there are symptoms, in general, a mask is unnecessary in ordinary social situation," Chan said.

When Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam met the press with some government officials and experts on Jan 25, they did not wear any face masks at that time and had since then attracted lots of criticisms. At the press conference held three days later on January 28, they finally wore face masks.

How arrogant and egocentric does one have to be to mock the medical workers in midst of this life-threatening disease? Not to mention this is all because of your inaction to tackle the problem at its root.

Carrie Lam claimed that a full shutdown of the border is meaningless and keeps ignoring the people's requests, despite all the negativity surrounding the decisions made by her. It has been a rather disastrous month, as community outbreaks happening in various locations and districts of Hong Kong.

Her actions have left many Hong Kongers suspicious of the intentions of her plans. It feels like she is exploiting this disease, and using her actions with dealing with this disease as a tool of revenge against the Hong Kongers, for their support of the anti-extradition protest last year.

She might be thinking that by complying to the Draconian government of China, and responding to the outbreak in this manner, it will force the Hong Kongers to regret over their actions and support for the Anti-Extradition bill.

Over in China, we are witnessing mainland Chinese affected by Covid-19 standing up for their rights, against the Chinese Communist Party. There has been massive public outrage over the government's lack of efforts in combating the disease. Social media posts calling and demanding for democracy, freedoms and autonomy have been appearing in large numbers, so much so that the government is unable to censor every single one of them. This pandemic has awakened the people. They will not tolerate the oppression anymore. None of us can predict the future, but at least, we need these actions of the mainland Chinese to make an impact on the Chinese Communist Party.

#CarrieLam Claims #LiberalStudies "Problematic from Day One" and Blames #CriticalThinking

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam claimed that Liberal Studies was "problematic from day one". Lam also blamed that "critical thinking" was being taken as "saying no to everything".*

[*Editor's note: Liberal studies was a compulsory subject introduced in Hong Kong since 2009 by the first Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa whose adminstration included Carrie Lam as Secretary for Development.]

The authorities announced on Nov 25, 2020 a make-over of Liberal Studies in Hong Kong's schools. These include a new curriculum with an emphasis on China and the Basic Law; changing the grading system from a scoring system to a pass/fail assessment; and having the government vet all textbooks that would be used.

In a radio programme, Lam also blamed foreign media for "hurting the image of the SAR": "I don't think foreign media reports are objective and fair, especially those about Hong Kong."

Lam denied that the changes to Liberal Studies is a political move that overrides professionalism. She insisted that the subject has "always been causing controversies" in the past 10 years.
