MTR Workers’ Union May Strike For Full Closures of Borders to Stop Transporting Virus
New coronavirus continues to spread and a few local cases were reported in Hong Kong. Following the strike initiated by the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance, the railway workers’ union Railway Power held a meeting yesterday to vote on industrial actions to combat the coronavirus. The poll had passed “in favor of a strike” as a resolution with 118 votes. NG King-cheung, vice-chairman of the Union, said if the MTR Corporation did not take actions, the railway may be responsible to the transportation of the virus throughout the city.
The Union requested to negotiate with the Corporation first, including pushing the government for a complete closure of the borders and requiring the Corporation to provide suitable protection equipment to employees. If the company refused to answer, the Union would call for a strike action together with those who signed the “declaration of strike”. NG said the Union would go public with the strike timetable to reduce public inconvenience.

Restlessness & Ruthlessness - Police's Rough Way to Conduct an Operation, Thrusting Reporters and Driving Citizens Away
2226 |
A journalist said a police officer deliberately pushed him with his riot shield, trashing his equipment and causing bleeding to his month. Meanwhile, some officers used troches with strong beams on citizens, while shouting and provoking the reporters.
A private car was trying to leave the car park, but was trapped as the road was occupied by police officers.
2231 |
Without reasons, officers in riot gear suddenly surged forward and chanted “get back onto pedestrian roads” to the reporters, who were trying to get a better picture by reporting from car roads. Then they dashed into Kwong Ming House again, while some police held their cameras up high to take pictures of the crowds.
2235 |
A few officers entered a police vehicle, who then pointed their guns at the crowds and fire tear gas canisters.

An Indian restaurant in Jordan, Hong Kong, distributed masks for free. The owner Mr. Puttar told the press that Hong Kong is his home and it made him heartbroken to see many elderly unable to obtain masks.
On the same day, Carrie Lam told the population through the press that the Hong Kong SAR Government did not have enough stock to last and welcomes contact referral for mask purchase posibility.

When the Head of the Government is Not Elected: Hong Kong CE Carrie Lam Broke Her Promise Again
Earlier, the Government's unconsulted plan to convert Fai Ming Estate to a quarantine camp had triggered the discontent of Fanling residents. Carrie Lam on a press conference on January 28 promised that the government would refrain from using newly built public housing estate as quarantine centers; however, on February 8, Carrie Lam admitted after being asked by the press that the government would use another newly built public housing estate Chun Yeung Estate in Fo Tan as a quarantine center. In other words, Carrie Lam broke her promise.
Currently in Hong Kong, 97 quarantine facilities including Lady MacLehose, Lei Yue Mun and Pak Tam Chung Holiday Villages are almost full. The government, however, refuses to close the borders with China, despite the demand of the population.
Carrie Lam insisted that Heritage Lodge, a heritage site, would be converted into a quarantine site.

Spilling Blood On the Altar-
Remembrance of Deceased Student Descends into Oppression
On February 8 in Tseung Kwan O, people gathered in remembrance of 22-year-old student Chow Tsz-Lok who passed away 4 months ago after falling from Sheung Tak Carpark during a police operation.
On the same occasion, the public voiced discontent against the government's unconsulted plan to set up a special clinic for Wuhan Pneumonia in the district.
Throughout the night, police arrested at least 5 district councillors, one reporter, and over 100 citizens. Police also ordered civilians to kneel and raise their hands during stop and search. One district councillor assistant was injured by a tear gas canister fired by the police. At least one district councillor was allegedly sexually harassed by the police.
The police, however, accused an arrested reporter from City Broadcasting Channel (CBC) of the City University of Hong Kong of stealing. CBC has already issued a statement condemning the police for violating press freedom.
In the same night, Tseung Kwan O district councillor Valerie Cheuk-Nga Wong was reported missing, according to her team.
Editor's note:
Just as the Hong Kong police has more than once arrested elected district councillors, the ever-growing police power endorsed by the authorities is endangering the limited and remaining democratic power in Hong Kong--when the district council is the only direct election available in the city. The arrest of representatives of the voice of people is once again a testimony to the venality of the scoundrels founding "One Country Two Systems", a tyranny cloaked in the shape of democracy. But a hierarchy revealed is a tyrant flinched. Perhaps with the millions of Hongkongers who were feeling the pain themselves, there is hope after all.

An Australian-Chinese dual citizen was accused of violating National Security Law
HK authorities : No obligation to grant consular visitation to dual nationals
On February 8, Australian Broadcast Company (#ABC) quoted the federal government that an Australian-Chinese man was charged under the National security law (#NSL).
Although the authorities did not reveal his identity, a spokesperson at Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (#DFAT) indicated that the defendant was arrested on Jan 6, 2021, for "conspiring to subvert state power".
He was released on bail the next day but was then re-arrested on March 1 when attending court, and charged with "subversion".
With reference to the date of arrest and the accusation, the man is said to be one of the #47Democrats, Gordon Ng (#吳政亨).
Yet, ABC cannot confirm whether the defendant mentioned by DFAT is Gordon Ng.
DFAT has also revealed that Australian officials have been repeatedly refused consular access to the man, because Hong Kong authorities no longer recognise dual citizenship.
"The Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong was notified by Hong Kong authorities of the arrest of a dual Australian-Chinese citizen under its National Security Law in January 2021," a DFAT spokesperson said.
The report continued that the Hong Kong Security Bureau declined to provide any further details about the prosecution, saying that it could not comment on individual cases; and that the Hong Kong government was not obliged to grant consular visitation rights to dual nationals.
ps. Gordon Ng is the founder of Legcopetition, a voluntary group for primaries. He is also known as "#Liberal (#李伯盧)" on social media platforms.
