Government Staff Wearing #Gucci Bag Enrages Residents in Lockdown Area

On Feb 2, 2021, the Hong Kong government imposed a sudden lockdown of 17 buildings in Sham Shui Po for mandatory #COVID19 tests.

The residents queued up in a long line on Ta Nan Street awaiting to be tested. The government staff at the scene, however, kept on urging the crowd to line up and to stay in order.

In response, some residents muttered disgruntlements, “we have been lining up for a long time without complaining. Cut your reminder.”

Meanwhile, a government staff in protective gown and face shield walked by. She was sighted wearing an expensive Gucci-brand crossbody bag outside her protective layer.

In sarcasm, one resident taunted her, “Are you coming with a Gucci bag to comfort us? The bag costs too much that I can’t afford even a knock-off. This is way too much for us.”

In embarrassment, the female staff quickly walked away in utter silence.
