The same #COVID19 zoning will happen to Sham Shui Po.

Meanwhile, Discovery Bay sends out folks who drink at the pier without masks, in groups, WHILE POLICE OFFICERS STAND AROUND AND DO NOTHING

This government ALWAYS pick on the poorest, most vulnerable, most needy in society

I hope those who somehow still think the Hong Kong gov is "doing the right thing" or "doing their best" understand that the leadership is so incredibly rotten that they will always, and from now on, act without empathy, which is the beginning of the end to healthy governance

What is worse, there are legit signs to how the government is now sizing up different groups and trying to pick someone to blame for poor COVID control - and it feels like ethnicity will soon be casually dropped into the promotional rhetoric

May I also ask that if you can and if you are willing, to please express gratitude to your local street cleaners and recyclers. supermarket coupons, masks, hand sanitizers, 3M work gloves, OR JUST WRAPPING YOUR GARBAGE PROPERLY AND DUMP THEM IN THE RIGHT PLACES

Will always remember in late 2019, I came across a street cleaner who was transporting construction waste so heavy, I offered to help push her cart and she politely declined. I made a weak remark about how people are assholes. Her reply: "nothing can be done".

So much anguish.

Think about the lockdown zones in Jordan and soon SSP: would these cleaners, essential workers, public transportation drivers whose route pass through, etc, get to stop work or at least get protective gear for still manning these areas?

You even thinking this is a jest

And the homeless? Are the police officers in SSP going to chase them down and put them up for a swab test? Where would these people go to "stay put for their own and public safety"? Can @hkpoliceforce guarantee they'll treat the homeless as people with dignity and not toys?

Like many, my heart aches for my city, and yet so little can be done when the government is literally governing without reason and sense.

Then selfish fu*ks like these create so much upset - the ego, the stupidity, the lack of respect:

To clarify: while these selfish pricks shouldn't be let off the hook, it's WORSE when the gov & the law enforcement who's supposed to serve & protect is exercising so much customized caution, it makes your blood boil.

Lack of linguistic skills is NOT a reason to not make arrests

The anger, the upset, the emotional turmoil at seeing our glorious city ripped apart by injustice and apathy - perhaps I'm being dramatic, but I feel like half of the city needs psych help, myself included.

That being said, still hopeful and always will try to be positive

....because there's not much left that we can entirely own and claim to be ours and ours alone.

I thank our frontline medical staff and essential workers, cleaners, gov officials & anyone who still cares about and loves the city with kindness wholeheartedly. Please stay safe 🙏🏻
