Busker arrested for the third time for singing “May glory be to Hong Kong”

#OliverMa, a Filipino Hong Konger, was arrested for the third time while singing “May glory be to Hong Kong” on the street.

On May 21, 2021, the police arrested Ma for “disorderly conduct in a public place” and confiscated his guitar, speaker and mic stand.

A video showed that the police turned off Ma's speaker soon after they warned him when he was singing “May glory be to Hong Kong”.

Ma has mentioned on his personal page previously that the reason he sang “May glory be to Hong Kong” was because of audiences’ requests, but he has never been receiving such requests since the #NationalSecurityLaw has passed and that he has never sung the song himself.

He said he will sing the song in the future as a call for help when he fears for his safety or when he is randomly arrested by the police.

Hong Kong student activist traumatised by national security probe

On July 29, 2020, the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force arrested several members of #StudentLocalism, a pro-democracy student organization in Hong Kong, including the group’s convenor #TonyChung Hon-lam and spokersperson, #YanniHo Yan-nok on suspicion of "inciting secession".

A year later, Chung was still in custody, although Ho was released unconditionally in early 2021 and her passport was returned to her.

Ho left Hong Kong subsequently for the US and expressed her thoughts on social media.

Ho wrote that although a year has passed, she could still recall clearly the moment when she was arrested by the National Security Police. The shock and fear lingered in her mind.

She was only 17 year old and was stunned by the arrest. It has never come across to her that she could be among the first arrestees by National Security Police and she was not mentally prepared. 

Ho said that she is now residing in US, a land of freedom. Despite that, she could not distance herself from the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, especially when knowing that her friends are facing national security charges and unpredictable sentences.

Ho wrote, “I’ve lost too much last year. Many of my friends have been detained, imprisoned and in exile. I, indeed, regret for not spending more time with them when we were still free.”
