Who is the lawbreaker?

Young protestors stormed into the Legislative Council last July to show their disappointment towards the deteriorating rule of law in Hong Kong. They insisted leaving money in a small collection basket for drinks taken from the cooler even in an extreme state of fury and fear. They also left behind a hand-written note reinstating that they would not steal like a thief.

However, a riot police who is well trained to enforce the law in Hong Kong, snatched a bottled water from a convenient stall during an operation in public and walked away without paying. Did he not just deliberately break the law?

If the incident was not caught on video and later gone rival on internet, would this police officer take the trouble to go back to the shop and pay?

"It's not stealing if I pay ... after I get caught"

Gun Versus Camera; Persistence Equals Hope

In response to China's National People's Congress ramming a National Securtiy Law towards Hong Kong, the local population cannot stand just sitting around doing nothing and letting their rights freedom be taken away.

The protest on May 24, 2020 is Hongkongers' reminder for one another: "Only when there is persistence can there be hope; if you give up, who will fight for you?"

Government Spends 10 mil on 2 Redundant Apps

The Hong Kong Government has recently pumped in a large sum of money into developing two cellphone apps.

It costs HKD5 million to develop each app, with 4 million dollars being subsidized by the government. The two apps were developed by the "North Point Neighbour Association” and a health prompting group.

There have been doubts about how useful these apps actually are. Some of the elderly felt that there was no need for an app to be developed to teach them how to exercise. Many of them claimed that they would rather watch and learn it on Youtube.

It has been discovered that these two apps were developed by the same company. Subject matter experts were interviewed about these apps, and they estimated the cost to develop these apps to be 50% of whatever the government spent. In total, 10 million Hong Kong dollars was spent in developing two redundant apps, when it could have cost half the price.
