Pro-Beijing “disabled” elderly seen walking and arguing with protestors in Tuen Mun Park
Noise pollution and even risque act regarding mainland “Dama" (middle-aged women) singers performing in Tuen Mun Park has continued since the return of these “singers” on Feb 22. A fierce quarrel broke out while the residents attempted to drive them out. During the quarrel, an elderly in an electrical wheelchair played pro-CCP songs in order to drown out the criticism from the residents, he was also seen being physically aggressive towards the reporters.
During the conflict, the elderly, who was sitting in the wheelchair, suddenly stood up and told the reporters “I have never said that I was crippled”. He then approached the citizens and continued to quarrel with them. Reporters have observed that there was a rear-view mirror and a horn on the wheelchair and thus deduced that it is most likely not a necessity for the elderly.

Truth & Justice will Prevail - Hongkongers vow to seek truth in young pro-democracy student's death
#ChanYinLam, a 15-year-old student in Hong Kong, was found dead on 22 September 2019 off the coast from Tseung Kwan O. Given that her body was found naked, and she was an agile swimmer and diver according to various news reports, her death triggered a lot of speculation, pointing at possible police brutality.
A year and 5 months later, on February 22, 2021, pro-democracy supporters continued their monthly ritual of paying tribute to Chan and other victims of police brutality during the anti-ELAB movement.
Over ten lightboxes were lit in the school campus of Hong Kong Design Institute where Chan was last seen, with candle lights, paper cranes and white flowers.
Chan’s supporters called on Hongkongers to fight on and never cease seeking the truth of Chan’s death.
