Lower court HK judges has been inconsistent with their judgement. This is evidence in 7 policeman case & Donald Tsang. For those who are charged, if kenna caught again, definitely go Stanley. Mind you, HKPF has not been helpful in procedural lapse. If suspect does not have access to legal assistance prior to interrogation, confirm judge will go ez on suspect.

Victor68 Turbocharged August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 This time around HK is totally naked. You see their NGO, Education, Media, have deteriorated to this level. To turn around around require the entire population and time to change. So sad for them as we grew together with them. Hope Singapore learn a big lesson from this episode. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early 2019 all was peaceful. In fact my Hong Kong friend even told me Hong Kongers are very "xian shi" or practical people and wont thrash their own economy. That was just in July but just a few days before the sit in at airport. Now he has left Hong Kong and cannot say if it will get better pr worse...... So Singapore should learn from this. And that things can change very very fast. I would like to share a story I think I told before. During the three kingdom's era, zhuge liang was pursued by sima yi. Zhuge Liang was in a city. He evacuated the soldiers, opened the gate while sitting at the top of the gates smiling at sima yi. Sima yi could see the villagers in the city through the open doors. They were living life as per normal. So he suspected a trap and retreated. This was the "empty city strategy". The point of this story is Hong Kong has been called on this strategy. Prior to this unrest, people thought that business, education, judiciary, legislative and such were strong in Hong Kong. Yea there are faults but it is stable. Some protestors just started the protest and it kept snowballing and suddenly, it seems like everything was just a facade. It's like what would happen if sima yi had advanced into the city instead of retreating. Singapore is a bit like that. We have citizens who know when or when not to test the boundary. But we cannot say this is a perpetual fact. Some may one day test the system and I hope if they do, they dont find an empty city as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a clear violation of police regulation. Flip side: The press was focusing on police ID cards and numbers early on during the protests, leading trolls to find their names and detail, post online and attack their families. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor68 Turbocharged August 29, 2019 Share August 29, 2019 Wonder why the media is always in front of police impeding them from doing 5heir work and not infront of the rioters so that they cannot cause damages or harm public? Very strange media or they are just part of the riots? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange media or they are just part of the riots? They are, generally, more on the side of the protestors, so led to last week's protest against RTHK, the government owned broadcaster, for also being bias...towards the protestors. My wife watched the HKPF press conference most days, and the quality of questioning is questionable, amateur and laughable at best but a sad indictment on valid investigative journalism to get to the truth from HKPF. The HKPF are in a tough position, and I believe doing the best any group of under-pressure humans can do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unfair. Should capture all the protesters and take them to China and charge them in a China court. You see if the China judges will play with them or not. Lousy Hong Kong judges. Charge them in China courts and then they know. 👍 😀 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
