    Warning smokers: you may be carrying a dangerous weapon!

    A 23-year-old man has been acquitted of possessing an instrument fit for unlawful purpose and possessing items with intent to destroy or damage property, after police found him carrying a lighter,
    But at Kowloon City Court on Tuesday, magistrate June Cheung accepted Li's argument that the lighter was meant as a Christmas gift, noting that it was beautifully wrapped in a box and was valued at around HK$400.

    Not sure where else to put this:

    "Banks are looking to hire up to eight times as many employees in the rival regional financial hub, in what recruiters describe as an under-the-radar shift aimed at reducing staffing levels in Hong Kong while avoiding angering the Chinese government."

    Didn't know where to post this one. But Panda Food Delivery rider arrested because he is working for a modern company that uses an APP not a 1980's call / dispatch centre

    In absence of check and balance, stupid proposal and policies see the light of day. That's the quality of HK governance these days.

    99% sure they will gerrymander to maintain the current situation. Opposition is so inconvenient

    weren’t these the same politicians that said eating at only yellow restaurants should be illegal? And we shouldn’t politicalize things.
