Serious Hong Kong is finished.....

The Hongkie middle class will go to Taiwan, Penang n KL where they'll be able to stretch their Hk$. The rich probably will go to Canada. Don't think Singapore will be their preferred destination as cost of living is sky high. The additional 15% stamp duty for foreigners when buying property in SG will be enough to deter them from coming here...
 
Nah, there won't be any influx of Hong Kongers coming over here. That's not because of any change in PAP's FT/FW policy, but rather there is no market demand for them as they are simply not competitive in the private sector labor market.

As FWs, the Hong Kongers aren't game for hard manual labour nor are they attracted with the 1-2k salary. As FTs, their lack of command of the English language and pay expectations that are equal to local Singaporean PME expectations will render them unattractive to employers comparing against locals, PRCians, Indians and Pinoys.

The truly elite old rich and C-suites are already based all over the world now and any development in Hong Kong won't make any difference.

Exactly.

The truly hungry, street smart kind of HKies from the 70s 80s 90s are gone Liao.

Either by design by CCP and the rich HKie elites or by accident, the HK education is dumbed down, result in HK uni ranking crashing.

Those Young HKies are not even desirable to even AMDKs, resulting in the AMDK companies hiring Tiongs and Cecas in HK.

LONDON (REUTERS) - China has betrayed the people of Hong Kong so the West should stop kowtowing to Beijing for an illusory great pot of gold, said Mr Chris Patten, the last governor of the former British colony.

Beijing is set to impose new national security legislation on Hong Kong after a sustained campaign of pro-democracy protests last year in the city, which enjoys many freedoms not allowed on mainland China.
“The Hong Kong people have been betrayed by China,” Mr Patten was quoted as saying by The Times newspaper. Britain has a“moral, economic and legal” duty to stand up for Hong Kong, he said.

Mr Patten watched as the British flag was lowered over Hong Kong when the colony was handed back to China in 1997 after more than 150 years of British rule.
Hong Kong’s autonomy was guaranteed for 50 years under the “one country, two systems” agreement principle enshrined in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration signed by then Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

But China’s plans to impose national security laws on Hong Kong risk destroying the Declaration, Mr Patten said. The United States has branded the laws a “death knell” for the city’s autonomy.

“What we are seeing is a new Chinese dictatorship,” Mr Patten said. “The British government should make it clear that what we are seeing is a complete destruction of the Joint Declaration.”

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said her government will “fully cooperate” with the Chinese Parliament to safeguard national security, which she said would not affect rights, freedoms or judicial independence.

Mr Patten said the West should stop chasing the illusory promise of Chinese gold.

“We should stop being fooled that somehow at the end of the all the kowtowing there’s this great pot of gold waiting for us. It’s always been an illusion,” Mr Patten said.

“We keep on kidding ourselves that unless we do everything that China wants we will somehow miss out on great trading opportunities. It’s drivel.”
The British government did not immediately comment on Saturday (May 23).

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said on Friday the government was monitoring the situation and as a party to the Joint Declaration the UK was committed to the upholding Hong Kong’s autonomy and respecting the one country, two systems model.
