China Hong Kong SAR: News and Images

Biggest joke ! HKers english standards are perhaps the laughing stock of the world. The way yooo speek engolish.. I dong lo summ thyme wott yooo sey lo... Perhaps you HKChinese should take a few lessons on how the mainlanders try HARD in speaking english and not shy away from attempting it. Better still, accept the fact that majority of HK students can't even hold a proper english conversation, leave alone get better at it.

You want to troll, learn to measure your opponents first - be they across the borders of Lowu (whom you HKers call derogatorily as locusts) or .. your pet hate "Indians".

Ok. So, why are you in my city?

Here is his post:

he has been member since past 1 year, he has been trolling for long. If he is really a false flagger, than put this fool in the gas chamber right now. I have no respect for those who hide behind different identities, however, i don't believe him to be Indian, Indians don't need to hide behind different flags to support their nation.

Then what are you doing in our city?

I'm sure you know Hong Kong well enough to know about the case of Martin Jacques wife. So you know how it works.

.. I dong lo summ thyme wott yooo sey lo...

You got the accent right. :lol: That is literally the only positive thing I can say about your post.
 
Hey "For Truth", why don't you start digging your countryman Donation's post record before saying that "No Indians will do this or that"?
 
Martin Jacques and his wife went for cheap. They used the public hospital system after recently arriving in Hong Kong.

Public hospitals in Hong Kong are funded by Hong Kong tax payer's money. If neither of them has been in Hong Kong long enough, then morally (although legally speaking, they probably both had HKID at the time due to work) they should opt for the health insurance and go to private hospital.

I was speaking more about the relations between locals and Indians, but what you said is right anyway. :tup:

It is also about the relations. Indians are not favored in Hong Kong because of their uncivilized behavior (although they are exceptions especially Indians who are born here). I am not surprised at the prejudice she suffered in hospital.

Racism is the result of Indians' collective behavior. It is a shame what happened, though.
 
If you think he's indian then let the mods find out. There is no need to use that troll to take potshots against indians, as then indians will respond and this troll thread will hit the ceiling.

Racist posters like cornwoldus are known for their india obsession and keep bringing in india at all kinds of threads. I guess he's looking for an excuse anyway. Just ignore such trolls from both sides.

@nuclearpak can you pls close this thread pls as the quality of posting is too low and there is no real issue being discussed here.

I just don't get how Dandpatta can sit in a Chinese city and laugh about Chinese regionalism. Sure there is regionalism, but we are all Chinese at the end of the day.

He isn't. So he is not justified in making such comments.
 
Hong Kong Red Cross rallies support for typhoon relief | Inquirer Global Nation

Despite the strained relations between Hong Kong and the Philippines, the Hong Kong public has donated HK$5.9 million (P33 million) for the victims of Supertyphoon “Yolanda.”

The Hong Kong Red Cross (HKRC) said it had launched an emergency appeal to Hong Kong residents on Tuesday for the victims of the typhoon that ravaged central Philippines.

“Up to 4:30 p.m. (Thursday), HKRC has received over HK$5.9 million from the Hong Kong public. We thank the public for their generous donations,” the HKRC said in a statement.

It added that the figure included a US$500,000 donation from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank (HSBC) to support “the Philippine Red Cross in providing emergency relief, rehabilitation and recovery assistance to the victims.”

The HKRC said it initially allocated HK$500,000 for emergency relief in the Philippines.


Street fundraising

“HKRC will also stage street fundraising activities in various spots across the territory this Sunday,” the agency said.

“Many enthusiastic volunteers, members and staff members have enrolled for the activities in the hope of raising more public concern and donations for the relief operation,” it added.

The donations come even after diplomatic relations between Hong Kong and Manila deteriorated due to President Aquino’s refusal to apologize for the 2010 hostage tragedy that left eight Hong Kong people dead.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chunying on Nov. 5 said the former Crown colony would impose sanctions on the Philippines if no substantial progress was made in a month’s time in the negotiations to compensate the victims. At the height of international humanitarian efforts in the Visayas, the Hong Kong leader said the deadline will not be extended.

Nevertheless, Filipino community leaders in Hong Kong said many locals want to help victims of supertyphoon Yolanda despite the fallout from the hostage crisis.

Willing to help

“We’ve received a lot of phone calls from (Hong Kong) NGOs and the academe and they’re willing to help,” said Eman Villanueva, spokesperson for the Operation Migrante Sagip Kababayan, a relief effort here in Hong Kong to help the typhoon victims.

“The students of the Chinese International School dressed up in red, white and blue…the colors of the Philippines…(on Nov. 13),” said marketing executive Catherine Feliciano-Chon. The students also donated $20 each to the Philippine Red Cross,” she added.

The HKRC has also set up a Tracing and Psychological Support Service for Filipinos in Hong Kong who have lost contact with their relatives back in the Philippines due to the typhoon.

“HKRC’s Emergency Tracing Service has received 96 enquiries, with 23 cases still in process for seeking 68 missing family members in the Philippines due to this disaster,” the HKRC said.

On the other hand, its Psychological Support Hotline Service, manned by trained psychological support service volunteers and professional clinical psychologists, has handled 34 cases.

“Most of the domestic helpers were worried about the safety of their family members, and we offered them immediate emotional support,” the HKRC said.

However, there are still locals who are angry about the 2010 hostage crisis and who made “abusive and derogatory” remarks online about Filipinos in relation to supertyphoon Yolanda. On Wednesday, Hong Kong’s Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) reminded all that inciting hatred toward another person or members of a class of persons on the ground of their race was not just inappropriate but also illegal. 
Hong Kong adds $5.16-M in funds for PH aid
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/global-filipino/world/11/15/13/hong-kong-adds-516-m-funds-ph-aid

HONG KONG - Hong Kong said Friday it will contribute $5.16 million to a fund that can be used to help the typhoon-stricken Philippines, after drawing fire for sticking to a deadline on sanctions against Manila over a 2010 hostage crisis.

The city's legislative body voted for the injection of HK$40 million ($5.16 million) into an existing disaster relief fund, boosting its total amount to HK$49 million, which aid groups can then apply for, the government said in a statement late Friday.

"We really want to provide the needed aid to victims affected very significantly by this major typhoon," the territory's chief secretary Carrie Lam said earlier this week.

Hong Kong is insisting that the Philippines offer a formal apology over the 2010 hijacking of a tour bus in Manila by a former police officer which left eight Hong Kongers dead and seven injured.

Its refusal to drop the threat despite the devastating impact of typhoon Haiyan, which has killed thousands and devastated entire coastal communities, has drawn strong criticism from some Hong Kongers and the city's Filipino migrant workers.

"The situation is still the same," a government spokeswoman told AFP on Friday.

Aid for the Philippines has been pouring in from around the world following the disaster, and Hong Kong's stance drew anger from citizens who expressed themselves on bulletin boards and social media.

"This is totally disgusting behaviour... Hong Kong is losing its way," says one person posting on the South China Morning post's website.

"Shame, shame, shame, Hong Kong," said another user.

Eman Villanueva, vice chairman of the Filipino Migrant Workers' Union, told AFP the government's position on the sanctions deadline was "insensitive" and that the deadline should be pushed back.

"Any sanctions imposed on the Philippines will directly affect the people and not the government," he said.

Hong Kong's leader Leung Chun-ying said last week that he will take "necessary actions to apply sanctions" if he does not see concrete steps taken to resolve the issue within a month.

The city's unpopular government -- under pressure from families of the victims -- has mooted a cancellation of its visa-free arrangement for visitors from the Philippines as well as possible trade sanctions.

Philippine President Benigno Aquino has refused to apologise on behalf of the country for the Manila hostage situation, insisting the deaths were primarily caused by the actions of the hostage taker.

The Hong Kong Red Cross said Friday it has also raised HK$7.7 million dollars from the public for the Philippines relief effort.

The United Nations has appealed for $301 million in aid, with the US and Britain among leading donors and China on Thursday stepping up its initially modest response to dispatch rescue materials worth $1.6 million.

Don't take him seriously. He can't look after Chinese tourists, but can look after American tourists.
 
Hong Kong named one of world's best cities for students | South China Morning Post

Hong Kong has been named the seventh-best city in the world for students but remains behind Singapore, which is Asia's top-ranked city.

Both cities leapt up the rankings in the second QS Best Student Cities list - Hong Kong by 12 places and Singapore by nine, to third overall.

Paris and London held their positions at the top of the leader board. Beijing and Shanghai came 18th and 35th respectively.

Cities were judged in five categories: university rankings, student mix, quality of living, employer activity in recruiting students and affordability.

Hong Kong scored a total of 403 out of a possible 500.

"With a maximum of 100 points awarded [in each category], Hong Kong's highest scores were 96 for employer activity, 94 for rankings and 85 for student mix," QS head of research Ben Sowter said. "With employment upon graduation an increasing worry for students around the world, the city's high employer activity combined with world class universities gives it a unique edge on the world stage."

High rent dragged down the city's affordability score (69), although eating out and transport were deemed cheap.

Last year, Hong Kong had an overall score of 351 and was described as "a bit daunting" for those who valued "peace, quiet and personal space".

To be considered for this year's rankings, a city had to have a population of more than 250,000 and at least two institutions in the QS World University Rankings. Ninety-eight cities qualified for the list.
