[Is it really the truth when the Hong Kong Government denied the imposition of martial law and curfew in Hong Kong?]

Part 3/3
Shops Closed, Major Transport Suspended: The Authorities are Just Not Using the Word '
Curfew'

After the government's announcement of the Anti-Mask Law on October 4, classes in many secondary schools and universities were cancelled, while companies also dismissed their employees early and shops were closed early (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7617). Some citizens rushed to supermarkets for grocery as if the city would turn into an emergency state in no time; while others occupied streets to protest before the Anti-Mask would become effective after midnight

On October 4, police ordered bus companies to stop their services (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7684) while the MTR also completely stopped running at 22:35. The suspension of major public transports had made it difficult, if not impossible, for citizens to seek for medical help. Fortunately, two parents who are in need of bringing their child to a doctor were assisted by protesters to get to the hospital (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7687).

One day after the government had invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, on October 5 over 22 large shopping malls are to be completely closed while the MTR has announced the suspension of service in all lines (including the airport express, the light rail and MTR shuttle buses) in the morning, at least.

In the last evening before masks would since then be banned in the city, Hong Kong police was filmed telling the passers-by that those wearing a mask “will die” as the law would be in effect (Source: Stand News). Incidents suggest that it is also likely for the police to abuse power under the Anti-Mask Law (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7707).

Meanwhile, the police continued to mistreat members of the press (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7714) after being known to have wounded an Indonesian journalist by causing permanent blindness on Sept 29.

In addition to shooting the 18-year-old schoolboy in the chest with a live round on Oct 1, the police wounded a 14-year-old boy with also a live round in his thigh. When the boy in critical condition was being operated, the riot police showed up and conduct searches in the hospital (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7712).

It is also noteworthy that the police force had relaxed the use of firearm in their internal guideline on Sept 30, which is allegedly a retrospective modification after the said Indonesian reporter was shot on Sept 29.

In view of the crash of the Hang Seng Index upon the government's decision (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7683), who is after all causing chaos in Hong Kong?
