Student to apply for remarking and rechecking history paper after government cancelled exam question

Watch video: https://bit.ly/3jFoDjN

As the coronavirus outbreak continues, the results of the HKDSE, a public exam mainly for university admission for local students, were released online.

Earlier the Hong Kong government cancelled an exam question after China's state media and pro-Beijing voices condemned a conditional, open question that mentioned Japan as inappropriate.

A student surnamed Chow suggested he was unsatisfied with his history exam result due to the cancelled exam question. After getting his results, Chow called his history teacher and apologized. He pointed out that he spent a lot of time and effort on this subject, and he wrote his essay arguing that Japan has done "more harm than good” in 1940s-China. He stressed that he will apply for remarking and rechecking because the cancellation disrepected students and made the exam incomplete.

Hong Kong's First case charged by
#NationalAnthemOrdinance for holding the British Hong Kong flag

In 2021, Hong Kong athlete Cheung Ka-Long won a gold medal on foil fencing at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The livestream of the game gathered people at a shopping mall in Kwun Tong on the day of the finals on July 26, 2021.

Police investigation followed, as the police claimed that some people misbehaved when the Chinese national anthem was played.

The police arrested an online media journalist, for reportedly holding a British Hong Kong flag when the Chinese national anthem was heard.

The man is the first Hong Kong citizen being arrested under #NationalAnthemOrdinance. He was being charged for insulting the national flag after a year of the event.

The case was first trialed on the afternoon of July 22, 2022. Since the counsel of the defendent requested more time to obtain the documents from prosecutor, Judge #LauSukHan approved the request and schedule the trial to September 9, 2022.

The defendant was allowed to go on bail with $5000. He has to hand in his travel documents and report at the police station once a week.
