Reporter: Using the Mourning of 831, Police Conducts a Massive Arrest Operation Against Hong Kong Civilians
0100 | Mong Kok
Our reporter concludes tonight's events as such: The situation tonight was basically a massive arrest operation. The police would pursue various sessions of arrests and surround people, usually 30-40, in very small, cramped areas to capture them. Civilians, reporters, and first aiders were split up. Searches were started arbitrarily, to their whims. Those not “suspicious” would be let go. Chaotic, the police also suddenly entered toilets and forced people to kneel down for no apparent reason.

The April Fool's Day of 2003 marks the saddest 'joke' ever, when Leslie Cheung, Hong Kong's iconic star, fell from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. His unexpected way of ending his 46-year life had shocked the people of Hong Kong and million fans across Asia. Despite the SARS epidemic outbreak in 2003, people gathered to mourn his death, adding grievances to virus-stricken city.
As an important figure in Hong Kong cinema and Cantopop, Leslie Cheung had developed a broad-ranging filmography and discography: In addition to his multilangual music career, he had partnering with arthouse directors like Wong Kar-wai and Stanley Kwan and starred in commercial movies and Lunar New Year comedies.
Three years before Hong Kong's handover in 1994, he appeared in Peter Chan's He's a Woman, She's a Man, as a musician. In the first scene, he was playing Beatles' "Twist & Shout" and hearing a friend of his father reminiscing the energetic, Westernized 1960s in Hong Kong but speculating the property market in the present 1990s.
In 1997, Leslie Cheung was cast by Wong Kar-wai as the lover of Tony Chiu-wai Leung in Happy Together. The couple ran away from Hong Kong to Argentina, hoping to "start all over again" in their weary relationship.
17 years went by: Hong Kong is facing another epidemic outbreak and the origin of the new coronavirus is still China. This time the coronavirus has been spread much more extensively, sweeping almost all continents of the world.
The memories of Leslie Cheung linger in Hong Kong, as his supporters commemorate his passing outside the Mandarin Hotel every year. Despite the police's repeated warning keep distance, people still gathered this year with flowers, photos and words in memory of the charismatic Leslie Cheung, a representative of Hong Kong cinema and Cantonese pop music under the menacing circumstances.

Five security guards trying to stop riot police from entering MOSTown relased
During the conflict between police and civilian at Ma On Shan on #Oct7 last year, riot police tried to enter the shopping mall by repeatedly slamming the glass door at the foyer outside MOSTown. Several staff members of the mall tried to block the door to prevent the police from entering but failed. After the riot police had entered the shopping mall, people who originally gathered at the atrium had scattered. At the end, the riot police captured a man in the mall and claimed that someone had reported store vandalism to the police and hence the need to enter the mall for law enforcement purpose.
However, two days after the incident, a female customer service officer and four contract security guards were informed by their superior to attend the police station. They were arrested upon arrival at the station for obstruction of a police officer in performing his duties. This caused an uproar in society. The legal sector believes that under that circumstance, which the police did not have a search warrant and not pursuing suspects, the security guards have the right to prevent the police officers from entering the shopping centre. They quesitoned the police for arresting indiscriminately. The case is now under investigaiton by the Shatin Regional Crime Unit. iCable news reported last night (Mar31) that these five people have been released unconditionally by the police but the police reserves the right to prosecute. According to a local source, the police notified these five people that they will not be prosecuted but at the same time requested all of them to remain low profile and hinted that the police has not ruled out prosecution yet.

Coronavirus could survive on masks for 7 days; Ambient temperature affects the virus
A research by the University of Hong Kong found that coronavirus could survive in the outer environment for a prolonged period of time. It is 7 days on masks, and 2 days on the surface of clothes.
The research also found that the coronavirus diminishes faster at high temperature. The virus could survive for 14 days at 22°C, 2 days at 37°C, 30 mins at 56°C, and only 5 mins at 70°C.
In addition, if soaked in 1:49 or 1:99 diluted bleach for 5 mins, the virus will lose its infectivity.
Prof. Leo Poon, who is in charge of this research at the HKU School of Public Health, said that it is not recommended to reuse surgical masks, as the coronavirus could survive on the outer surface. In case of high risk factors such as being in contact with a COVID-19 patient, clothes can be soaked in hot water for 30 mins before washing.
The research has not been formally published yet.
