Q: What do you think about having "Sing With You” or similar activities in the future in Shatin?

A: First of all, I believe we have the right to express, in whichever format legally permitted. I don't see any reason to have the police here. If they're here to enforce regulations preventing the spread of coronavirus, why are they standing so close to each other? They aren't vigilant about epidemic prevention themselves. Again, as I have said earlier, they are using law enforcement as an excuse to exercise political suppression.

Q: Riot police came in and out the mall again and again, closing and reopening their cordon lines at least 3 to 4 times this evening. What do you think about their operation?

A: I didn't see why the riot police came in and out the shopping mall again and again. Perhaps, the officers saw people are gathering in the mall, or they saw people coming back to shop. They are creating substantial inconvenience to residents, moving police cordon lines here and there.

Interview with Shatin District Councilor Mike Chan – HongKongers are losing freedom of expression as police use law enforcement for political suppression

Q: What is your opinion of police operations tonight?

A: I couldn't tell what riot police were attempting to do, when a large group of them stormed into the shopping mall disturbing shoppers and passers-by there. Some civilians were trying to get to the bus station and depart, but they were strained, being blocked by police cordon line. While it's in their powers to establish cordon lines to facilitate operation, police should also show civilians how to leave. I've tried to reason with the officers about this several times.
