Increasingly, the Hong Kong government has been tightening their grip over pro-democracy activities in past few weeks as the Coronavirus epidemic came under control. Such suppression didn’t stifle protesting activities but sparked even stronger discontent among Hongkongers and sporadic peaceful protests such as “Sing with You” and “Shop with You” spawning in shopping malls have become ubiquitous.
In the afternoon on May 16, netizens initiated a "Shop with You" event in five shopping malls, including East Point City, Yoho Mall, MOKO, New Town City and Olympian City. Soon after peaceful protesters started to chant slogans and sang, riot police charged in to clear shoppers out, sometimes setting cordon lines in the mall, causing even more panic and chaos to both the shoppers and shopkeepers.
Although riot police usually leaves the scene after a while, groups of plainclothes police officers continued to lurk in the mall. In Tseung Kwan O East Point City, 8 civilians were arrested today in the first 30 minutes of the event when there was no sighted complication on the scene. The tension between police and reporters sustained as a plainclothes police officer was seen drawing his baton at a group of reporters at the 1st Floor of the mall in Tseung Kwan O.
In Mong Kok Moko mall and Yuen Long Yoho mall, multiple memos with rhymes and short poems jabbing the police force for the recent incident of police officers arrested with methemphethamines have been attached to the railings for passers-by to read.

HK Government: Civil servants should be loyal to the Chief Executive
A civil servant union questioned the Hong Kong SAR Government, as an employer, for not giving support to civil servants arrested in the pro-democracy movement.
In response, Secretary for the Civil Service Nip Tak-kuen issued a letter to all civil servants demanding their loyalty. Nip claimed that the basic responsibility of civil servants is to support the Basic Law and be loyal to the Hong Kong SAR and the Chief Executive, and they should not participate in any illegal activities.
The Federation of Civil Service Union chairman Leung Chau-ting said he was not surprised about the letter issued by the government. Leung stressed that civil servants had consensus that Nip was appointed to rectify the team, but the letter did not have a strong deterrent effect.
Concerning the government proposal of adding a vowing session before civil servants take office, the union chairman said that it is just a ceremony and would not change people’s thought.
The Hong Kong Senior Government Officers Association chairman Lee Fong-chung stated that the government and civil servants had the same understanding of remaining “politically neutral”, where civil servants should not talk about politics at work. Lee explained that the government merely wanted to remind its employees due to the recent increase of political conflicts.

Sham defied the accusation on his Facebook, stating that he genuinely believed that the Hong Kong Police Force had murdered Chow. He further criticized police for hindering investigation and refused to admit to an apparent blunder. Sham opinioned that the police was too desperate to cover up the truth that they went all the way to wage war with those who detested their behavior.

Local Brewery Calls on HongKongers to Fight On With "Made in Hong Kong" Craft Beers
When the PolyU campus was under siege by the police in November 2019, officers mocked entrapped demonstrators and citizens, by saying that they could only "pitifully subsist on 'Life Bread'". With regard to this incident, Foam Beer, a local brewery established in 2017, came up with a craft beer called "liquified life bread", to show support for pro-democracy protesters and to raise money for protesters' fund.
Angus, the brewery owner, plan to brew a craft beer with the theme of press freedom, and donate the proceeds to local independent media organizations. He hopes to remind the public of the importance of the "fourth estate", and rally HongKongers to continue fighting against totalitarianism.

Hong Kong Lawmaker: Legalizing same sex marriage destroys social value and violates national security law
In a reply to Legislative Council member Regina Ip, chairperson of the New People Party, about the legislation schedule of the Sex Discrimination Ordinance (#SDO), the Equal Opportunities Commission (#EOC) chairperson Chu Man-kin said that there was no timetable for the ordinance at the moment and should not have a rigid one.
But he said that an internal study has reached a consensus on some of the issues.
However, another legislator Junius Ho Kwan-yiu said that legalising homosexual marriage is a matter of right and wrong, and will directly destroy the composition of society and families.
He claims that the dissemination of undesirable ideologies like this was prohibited under Article 23 of the National Security Law of the People's Republic of China.

Cardinal Zen encourages youngsters in Hong Kong to become a man with integrity
In an online radio programme on May 16, Cardinal Joseph Zen spoke to youngsters in Hong Kong and shared his personal experience.
Zen encouraged young people to become good men with integrity and to learn to tell right from wrong.
"The world is chaotic and cold. It is not worthwhile to chase only after wealth and power," he said.
Zen pointed out that young people need guidance and education. He added that man is different from animals. They need a longer time to grow into maturity.
Zen further says that nowadays, people have so much more to learn that they have forgotten to learn to become a man.
Some of them want to be a doctor, a lawyer, or a big boss. But, no matter how long they are going to live, they have to learn to become a man, which is fair and compassionate.
Zen said, “young people have to think independently. Do not listen passively to what you have been told."
Cardinal Joseph Zen, 90, was one of the four arrested by Hong Kong National Security Police on May 11 for alleged “collusion with foreign forces”.
All of those arrested were trustees of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, which provided legal and financial assistance to more than 2,200 people prosecuted for their part in the 2019 pro-democracy protests.
The fund had ceased operations in 2021 after the police announced it was under investigation and requested administrators to provide details on its donors.

Lee Ming-che urges Hongkongers to fight for their freedom
A human rights activist, a community college administrator, and a former member of Taiwanese political parties including the Democratic Progressive Party (#DPP), Lee Ming-che was arrested by the Chinese government after he entered China via Macau on March 19, 2017.
Lee was sentenced to five years in prison for allegedly subverting state power. He was released on April 14 after finishing his prison sentence and returned to Taiwan the next day.
In Lee's interview with the Chaser News, he praised the wisdom of the pro-democratic frontline protesters in their fight against police brutality, which moves everyone on the scene.
This was the first time that Lee talked about the Anti-Extradition Bill movement in Hong Kong.
In his view, the movement showed collaboration between the sensible peace-loving protesters and those courageous frontline activists. During the time, he also saw solidarity inside and outside the Legislative Council. He was deeply impressed.
Walking out from political prosecution in China and regaining freedom, Lee is thankful to those who supported him both domestically and Internationally.
Lee stressed that he will carry on his work defending human rights and prisoners' rights.
Lee is hoping that his experience could help reveal the despicable acts of the Chinese Communist Party. He wanted to become one of the defenders of democracy globally.
Lastly, Lee shared words of encouragement to pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, “Freedom is always a war trophy than a present from the ruling power.”
