Hong Kong Police Commissioner Pays Tribute to Actors Who "Inspired" Him to Speak and Act Like A Policeman

Watch the video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/17443

A video went viral on the Internet on February 17, as Hong Kong Police Commissioner Tang Ping-keung was sighted hanging out with some showbiz celebrities in a dinner party that took place on February 16.

In the name of "exchanging" with the all-star soccer team, the police commissioner said in the party that he learnt how to act and speak as a policeman from the stars who attended the dinner, including actors Jackie Chan, Eric Tsang and Alex Fong Chung-sun as well as singer Alan Tam. “In the past, I didn’t know how to be a police officer; however, after watching Jackie Chan and Alex Fong [Chung-sun], I know how to act and speak like one!” said Commissioner Tang, who openly referred them as his idols.

Moreover, Tang explained the reason why he could speak "well" at the District Council meetings is because he has learnt some speaking techniques from television shows hosted by actor Eric Tsang.

Tang was not the only high-ranking police officer in the party. Other prominent participants of this party include both the current and former police spokesmen, Kwok Ka-chuen and John Tse Chun-Chung.

Another unexpected face included the retired police officer Chu King-wai, who was arrested and charged with assault after hitting a random pedestrian with his baton during the 2014 Umbrella Movement.

Based on the pictures taken at the party, the participants did not wear facemasks while making close contact; some were even eating without using utensils. In addition, a lady allegedly smoked inside the indoor restaurant before the police. The Hong Kong government has long outlawed smoking in indoor areas since 1 January 2007.

The public relations bureau of the Police responded to The Stand News on the matter, claiming that this dinner was a "private social event" and the expenses were shared equally among the police officers and other participants at their own cost. They added that the police have developed a close and fruitful relationship with the Hong Kong all-star soccer team for a long time as they are all soccer-lovers.

What Exactly Can the Hong Kong Police Learn From Jackie Chan?

Jackie Chan earned his fame as a Kung Fu actor and gained international stardom in Hollywood production like the Rush Hour series. However, Jackie Chan is more often considered as a controversial figure in his hometown of Hong Kong.

Since 2013, he has been selected by thr Chinese Communist Party to be a member at the PRC's Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

In 2009, he made the following comment by correlating freedom to chaos. Chan expressed in a forum in China that he was not sure whether freedom is a good thing or not: “If things get too liberal, you see how chaotic Hong Kong has become. Taiwan is also very chaotic”. On the same occassion, Chan told the press that he would not buy his television in China, as "televisions made in China would explode".

In 2019, he called himself a "flag guardian" of the PRC's national flag. When asked about the 2-million-peopled protest that took place in Hong Kong on June 16, he said “I found out there was a big march in Hong Kong, but I did not know what it was about.”

In his memoir “Never Grow Up”, he opened up to his past of spending all his money on gambling, drinking and visiting prostitutes. His confession did not surprise the public too much, as his scandals have long been engraved on the headlines of many newspapers before. One of his most quoted lines includes his description of extra-marital affairs as
“a mistake that every man in this world commits”.

Reality VS Fiction: When Hong Kong Police Commissioner Learnt How To Act and Speak like A Policeman from Actors ...

In order to play the act as a policeman convincingly, professional actors act based on how actual policemen carry out their duties. If Tang Ping-keung, the current Commissioner of The Hong Kong Police Force, needs to look up to actors in order to “speak and look professional” as a police officer, one might wonder how the budding actors in police films and Tang’s 30,000 goons can learn from him as an example.

Next Magazine revealed that on #Feb7, high-level officials of the Hong Kong Police Force booked a room for a banquet in a Chinese cuisine restaurant in Whampoa, Hong Kong.

The crowd included Chief Superintendents John Tse Chun-Chung, Kwok Ka-Chuen as well as Senior Superintendent Kong Wing-Cheng of the Police Public Relations Branch. In the same evening, 3 mob bosses of the Hong Kong-based Triad group the "14K" entered the room next to the police's.

According to the report, the restaurant had only very few customers that night, as opposed to being usually crowded with bustle staff running around in normal days.

A notice which read “Durians for our guests” was stuck onto the door of one banquet room. The 14K mob boss “Peter” entered the room next door short after the police officers entered the room.

When asked about the incident, the restaurant said the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, instead of the Public Relations Branch, of the police made the booking for the banquet. The restaurant staff refused to answer any other question.

During the dinner, a staff member took a few bottles of champagne into the room, where laughter and screaming could be heard subsequently.

On a press conference, the police condemned the report, describing it as canard and chicanery. They explained the banquet was privately-held, and the officers involved need not work afterwards. They didn’t have any knowledge about the identity of other customers in the restaurant nor had any contact with them.

Editor’s note: In Chinese restaurants, especially in Hong Kong, owing to limited space, rooms could usually be combined if needed.

DAB uses the highest protective equipments for private purposes

(12 Feb) Leung Kar Ming, a district councillor of Shing Hong district of Tsing Yi and a member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), stopped meeting with people and abandoned residents since the outbreak of the epidemic. She was so scared that her office put out a notice saying the open hours were suspended because of a renovation. Residents were extremely angry.

When residents of the Cheung Hong Estate evacuated and needed her support, she disappeared all the way. After that, she showed up with high specification of protective equipments. Why did she need such high specification? Even medical staff and firefighters didn’t have gears that good; only the police and she did.

On the day of district council election, the Presiding Officer unexpectedly ruled all 500 questionable ballots in favour of Leung Kar Ming. So she was elected. At that time, residents were angry and surrounded the Presiding Officer. They kept asking questions but got no answer. Finally, residents were pushed out by the Police Tactical Unit (PTU).

After Leung Kar Ming started her term, she disappeared all time, and didn’t answer residents’ calls. The district is more and more deteriorated and insanitary. She doesn’t care and disappears to who-knows-where. Her office is always closed.

Self-help in the time of coronavirus

(11 Feb) The ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus epidemic has triggered such a shortage of face masks that even the Hong Kong government has difficulty finding suppliers. While Chief Executive Carrie Lam urged the people to inform the government of avenues for obtaining face masks, citizens have been independently purchasing them for direct distribution to those in need.

Actor Chapman To bought 30,000 masks, of which 10,000 were sent to households of low-income families and singleton elderly at Cheung Hong Estate. The rest would be given to the Association of Hong Kong Nursing Staff for further distribution to the families of medical personnel and the chronically ill. "Carrie Lam is our Chief Executive in name only. She failed to take responsibility for the health of Hongkongers. We learned to rescue ourselves. Who cares about what she says? It is all pointless."

To criticised Carrie Lam for failing to protect Hong Kong people. He said Hong Kong's hard-earned achievements were ruined by "the Chinese Communist Party. But Hongkongers will not be defeated because we hold dear our spirit and core values. We shall overcome the epidemic together. Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times! Glory to Hong Kong!"

Author Daisy Wong also announced that she had bought 3,000 masks from Austria with the help of a reader. She would sell them at HK$5 each to those with fewer than 10 masks on hand or healthcare workers. "Please let other people buy first. . . . Each person can buy one box only." She stated, "I am doing this just to say — do not resign to our fate. They want us to die but we will thrive. We must live to witness the end of Carrie Lam."

She encouraged, "Do not forget that since June of last year, Hongkongers have been fighting for justice. Combatting the virus and combatting tyranny are the same. I hope Hongkongers can be more united than ever to show the world the spirit of our resistance. Do not lose heart, let's move forward together!"

'We all lose out if toilet roll panic continues'

//The chief executive of the Consumer Council, Gilly Wong, says rampant panic buying of toilet paper is already costing Hong Kong buyers – in the form of price rises and the loss of discounted deals.

//"At the major supermarket chains, the price hasn't gone up that much but, unfortunately, all the different offers that we used to enjoy in the past disappeared,"

//"So in the end it is the consumer that's suffered: in terms of the financial side, they have to pay more.

//"We would urge the public that, since we get almost 100 per cent confirmation that the plants operate and there's stock coming in... if we control a little bit on our purchases, probably the market will be back to normal very, very soon."
