Residents Ask If Carrie Lam Hates Them So Much to Lockdown #YauTsimMong for the 7th Time
On Feb 4, 2021, the Hong Kong government imposed what Chief Executive Carrie Lam called "ambush-style" lockdown in a large area of Yau Ma Tei and Mongkok.
According to #DistrictCouncillor Yu Tak-po, this is the 7th lockdown imposed in the area, in addition to other mandatory testing orders.
The residents in Tung On Mansion on Pitt Street were ordered to undertake #Covid19 test last week, but they were included in the lockdown area on Feb 4, 2021.
The District Council spoke to the media and shared residents' frustration and angst. Residents pondered everyday if they would need to face another lockdown that evening. Some also asked if Carrie Lam hated them so much.
The district councillor also questioned the government's rationale behind the lockdown and the use of taxpayers' money, as the number of positive cases has been decreasing in Hong Kong.

#DistrictCouncillor: Residents Live in Fear Due to Government's Arbitrary Lockdown
On Feb 4, 2021, the members of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council spoke to the media near the lockdown zone.
According to District Councillor #SiuTakKin, many residents found the government's lockdown arrangement confusing and the decision arbitrary.
For instance, Mandarin Court, a residential building on Shanghai Street, has 2 positive cases in the past and was included in the lockdown area on Feb 4, 2021; however, other buildings with more confirmed cases were not subjected to any lockdown.
Moreover, most shops were not notified before the government ambushed them with a lockdown. Many of them were in fear when the police suddenly sealed off the area without prior warning.
Meanwhile, residents also expressed concern after the government claimed that their staff would break in to flats that do not answer the door.
