Re: HK people deserved their freedom and transparent garmen!

If you ask me, hong Kong can be the Scandinavia of the east. They can afford a comprehensive welfare system if they want.and lead the way for the rest of the region to follow.
But this can only come if they are allowed to manage their own affairs.

I would join HK protestors but I won't follow Roy and HHH

Guess many Singaporeans prob feel the same way. The situation is almost the same, both populace being bullied and unfairly treated by authorities. But the HK protestors got wide support, their behavior noble..goodness gracious there r even kids doing their homework in the protest.But Roy and HHH came across as bullies themselves. How to support them?? They should change their aggressive behavior, be like Gandhi - silent protest, sit in, don't flinch even when targeted by water cannons..etc. When people see this, they will support u because you have behaved honouraby. Not go about scaring special needs kids..etc. Man ! That's cardinal sin!! Even those who support u will be shocked!!

what a load of bullshit.
Scandinavia have huge land mass with very small population. With great natural resources.
while Hong kong which is small and massive overcrowding.

Hong kong has very low taxes. Where are they going to fund the social welfare?
They are going to raise it from one of the lowest in the world to highest in the world. Non starter.

It is not going to happen. Not in a thousand years.

You can't believe in something that you never had in the first place.

empty gesture. In recent memory, the only peaceful protest that is successful is Ukraine. Look at the shithole Ukraine become after their peacful revolution. PRC tanks will crush the protesters. I will pay money to see it.

Re: I would join HK protestors but I won't follow Roy and HHH

If you think Roy and HHH are bullies, then you're just like one of the many daft, undiscerning Sinkies who believes everything that comes out of SPH.

Get off your high horse, please.

If anything, Roy and HHH are too civil, too polite.

Re: HK people deserved their freedom and transparent garmen!

When Britain was ruling them, these Honkies were just mice. They never had a say in the appointment of the Governor or even the Chief Secretary. Yet there was not even a whisper of protest then.

Re: Difference between HK and SGPlians

Nothing is a coincidence.

What happens in HK right now is a consequence of a power struggle between Xi Jinping and Jiang Zemin's people (whom Xi has been purging through the anti-corruption crusade).

Jiang's cronies think that if violence occurs in HK, it should make Xi look bad.

Re: HK people deserved their freedom and transparent garmen!

They have no other choice. They have to fight for it.

As far as the government in Beijing is concerned, HK was returned to them and it is now China, and has to comply with Chinese laws. The "special status" was provided so as not to disrupt HK's economic workings, which benefit the mainland as well. But the Hong Kongers have grown used to quite a large amount of freedoms (by PRC's standards) and aren't going to just give it up. PRC in the past would simply roll in their tanks and squash any dissent, but the present case isn't going to be that straightforward. There are many Chinese living abroad now and are all watching. PRC wants to break away from that "harsh" leadership style and go along with crowd sentiments, at least a little, or at least wants to appear so. It's anybody's guess how much leash they'll release. Let's see what happens.

Cheers!

Because they worked for it!!..........
