Prohibition on Group Gathering Bans Only Takeaway-buying Crowds but Allows Social Gambling

In the morning of April 5, a large group of government supporters were reported to have gathered at the Lei Muk Shue Estate Lennon Wall and committed property damage by spraying ink stored in a large pesticide container onto the walls and the ground.

A female passerby had attempted to dissuade the damage, citing effects on public hygiene, but was persued and harassed by the armed crowd. The pro-government supporters sprayed ink at the victim, causing injuries. The situation could have been worse without the intervention of a male passerby.

During the second wave of the coronavirus outbreak, the government has announced a ban on group gatherings; however, many questioned the effectiveness of the policy and the fairness of its enforcement.

For instance, elderly people could still be seen gambling in public housing estates in Tsuen Wan, which reportedly operated by a clique-like group. While members could be seen scouting for police in said gambling groups and using vile language to deter police officers enforcing the ban, the police ignores these groups, with the gambling situation continuing as normal.

On the contrary, queueing crowds looking to buy takeaways were dispersed outside restaurants by police officers enforcing the ban.
