On 31 August, the People's Republic of China’s National People’s Congress Standing Committee passed a resolution that rejects any reformation in the electoral method of Hong Kong's Legislative Council. In 2016 Hong Kongers can only vote for their chief executive among candidates which have been 'screened' by Beijing. This is a setback for democracy, and activists of 'Occupy Central' have launched a civil disobedience movement last weekend to protest against Beijing. But the police have reacted to this peaceful movement with tear gas and cannisters.

We welcome all in Singapore to join in this candle light vigil to show support to our sisters and brothers in Hong Kong in their quest for freedom, justice and democracy. Please come in black, a yellow ribbon/yellow umbrella.

PLEASE NOTE: Our authoritarian government requires foreigners and permanent residents to apply for a permit to participate in this event. If you don't have a permit, you can come and 'observe'. Observing a protest or a demonstration is legal. How you choose to 'observe' is entirely up to you. We can't stop you and we shouldn't have to! Read more of the regulations here: http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/pop-up-tc.html

See you there!

Basically after initial use of riot police and tear gas
Failed to stop movement but had opposite effect
Police has all but disappeared but law and order has not
Not a single shop window has been broken streets are clean
Stock market is down but if one had looked at his charts
In addition to paying attention to the world in general
Sell signals were blaring since at least early September
Democracy no excuse for bad portfolio management
By the way Bank of East Asia service sucks anyway
So it is just as well that I never banked with them

don't waste your time to support these short arse Honkies. They are selfish Chinese and look down on Asian Chinese. You shopped in HK they look up and down at you and discriminate you cannot afford to buy because you are Chinese look. They looked down on Mainland Chinese for 200 years and called them, peasants?

Now 大陆 is rich and who is rich control HK.

Fuck these shorties of their democracy. What about your rights to shop in their country which they discriminate you at first look Chinese ' no money'?

After Brit signed the 200 year lease with China these shorties should straight away chased the Pommies out and govern the island to themselves but they didn't, jiak leow bee.

Uncle Tiu, please don't talk cock okay. What 200 year lease? Get your history right before you come here and spew nonsense.

From Wikipedia:

"The background of the Sino-British Joint Declaration was the pending expiration of the lease of the New Territories on 1 July 1997. The lease was negotiated between the UK and the Guangxu Emperor of China, and was for a period of 99 years starting from 1 July 1898 under the Second Convention of Peking. At the time of the lease signing, Hong Kong Island had already been ceded to the UK in perpetuity under the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 after the First Opium War, and the southern part of the Kowloon Peninsula as well as the Stonecutters Island had also been ceded to the UK in perpetuity under the Convention of Beijing in 1860 after the Second Opium War."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-British_Joint_Declaration

Even continent-sized China had to sign unequal treaties after losing wars with Ang Mohs due to backward military technology and tactics and tyrants like Old Fart and Ass Loon oops I mean Empress Dowager and Yuan Shikai asking peasants to till the land with buffaloes and forget about university degrees. You think can suka suka chase away is it? Besides, back then, the first priority is to get rid of the Qing, who as Manchus are also foreigners. As the Brits were in control of Hong Kong, it became a safe haven, unwilling and unwittingly most of the time, for rebels fighting against the Qing, including people like Sun Yatsen. Know your history!

From the reporting that is rolling out of RTHK and Kuok's Morning Post
Me thinks they also support the protestors' very reasonable demands


From students to company bosses, Hongkongers show support for Occupy Central
Workers - and even some bosses - say strikes and protests must continue because police use of tear gas on students went a step too far

Social workers, delivery men, teachers - Hongkongers from all walks of life left their jobs yesterday to support the Occupy Central movement and protest against the police force's use of tear gas during Sunday's demonstrations.

Secondary school and university students also boycotted classes and either joined protesters on the streets or staged assemblies on campuses.

"I could not believe that the police used tear gas against student protesters," said social worker Simon Lai, who joined an assembly at Polytechnic University attended by more than 1,000 of his colleagues. "The students were not armed. There were tens of thousands of them yesterday and the tear gas could have led to a stampede."

The assembly's organiser, the Confederation of Trade Unions, said many social workers would remain on strike until the Occupy movement ends.

At the government headquarters yesterday, Don Chan Hing-lung, chairman of the Swire Beverages (HK) Employees General Union, told cheering protesters that 200 delivery workers at a Coca-Cola plant in Sha Tin had gone on strike to support the civil disobedience movement.

"We don't care if we lose money. We are here for the future. If we don't come, there won't be one," Chan said. Another 100 workers, he said, worked the minimum number of hours required by their contract.

Chan said the workers would continue their strike today.

Some bosses also lent their support to workers who joined the protest. "It's up to you whether you come to work of not. The company will not punish anyone who supports something more important than work," Spencer Wong, chief executive of advertising company McCann Worldgroup Hong Kong, said in a message to his staff.

Pupils and teachers from at least 31 secondary schools walked out of classes yesterday, according to student group Scholarism and the Professional Teachers' Union (PTU), the largest association of teachers in Hong Kong, which called on educators to join the strike.

The move was not supported by all school officials. The Education Bureau said it "deeply regrets" the union's call for a strike. It asked teachers not to disrupt students' studies.

The bureau ordered all schools in Wan Chai and Central and Western districts to cancel classes yesterday. Major roads there were clogged with protesters and metal barriers. Those schools will remain closed today.

PTU president Fung Wai-wah said he supported a strike. "We're talking about what's right and wrong," he said. "It's important to let students discuss and express their feelings. Teachers cannot escape from this."

Pupils at some of the 31 secondary schools affected chose to occupy school playgrounds; others gathered in assembly halls to share their views on the protests and the reactions to them.

Liu Cheuk-laam, a Form Six student from SFTA Lee Shau Kee College, was sprayed with tear gas in Admiralty on Sunday night. "Hong Kong is in a totally different situation now after the tear gas," he said. "All students should stand up and say no to police violence."

More than 400 of his schoolmates - almost half the school's roll - occupied the playground of the Kwai Ching school.

Meanwhile, university students held meetings to discuss how to organise a fresh round of class boycotts.

Chinese University students decided to strike indefinitely.

A group of students from three law schools issued a joint statement, condemning police for using "grossly excessive force".

Way Kuo, president of City University, said he "appreciated" students' peaceful expression of their views and that he "deeply" regrets Sunday's confrontations "because they are neither constructive nor helpful".

Kiasu Kiasee Sinkies cannot comprehend the range of possible outcomes
Tanks will be highly unlikely since Hongkie Polis appears to be on side of protestors
Even left government supplied metal barriers behind for them to use
Meanwhile ball-less Sinkies don't dare venture out of the confines of Hong Lim Park


Police come to the aid of the protesters

Hong Kong's "umbrella revolution" was unwittingly aided by the police when they stood down yesterday morning, presumably to avoid further exacerbating what had become a tense situation overnight.

However, when they departed they obligingly left about 1,000 mills barriers in Central near the war memorial. These were duly used by the protesters to block roads in and around Central. There are not many big demonstrations where you see protesters going about their business with government-supplied barriers. Meanwhile, the protesters weren't the only ones to feel the sting of the tear gas on Sunday night.

One barrage the police fired off was close to the Hong Kong Club and a large cloud of the stuff wafted into the club. There weren't many members in the club at the time but it brought tears to their eyes.

What happens next?

What are the prospects for a "soft" rather than a "hard" resolution? One thing that is immediately clear is this is not Occupy Central. That has been eclipsed by the student protests. It is tempting to think that if both sides keep their keep their cool this could wind down by the end of the week. Not because the demands of the students have been met but because of protestor fatigue, both on the part of participants and by residents.

So far non-participants have been sympathetic, helped by what many perceive to have been gratuitous use of pepper spray and tear gas but it is unlikely to remain so. The Beijing authorities will not be keen on this dragging on since they worry over how this will be perceived on the mainland. They don't want to see copycat Occupy Shenzhen or Tianjin movements starting up. It is particularly awkward that the National Day holiday is approaching. The fireworks have already been cancelled but if the protesters succeed in hijacking the National Day celebration by taking over Bauhinia Square and its environs then that would be a severe embarrassment for the authorities here and in Beijing.

Risk consulting company Steve Vickers & Associates says that while the range of likely outcomes is unclear it believes the demonstrations are likely to escalate, requiring a higher response level to deal with them.

The worst outcome would be if rioting broke out which could eventually lead to a state of emergency being declared together with the deployment of the People's Liberation Army. Steve Vickers & Associates believes this outcome is unlikely. But the firm believes that should the demonstrations escalate then this will probably lead to the arrest of the leaders.

Either way this has been a turning point in Hong Kong politics.

Free to protest

When Occupy Central was first mooted a number of business organisations, including chambers of commerce, publicly declared their opposition. So it was with some surprise that we heard that a couple of advertising agencies agreed to let their staff participate in yesterday's protests.

Spencer Wong, CEO and chief creative officer at McCann Hong Kong, sent a message to staff telling them it was up to them to decide if they would go to work or not. "The company will not blame or punish anyone who supports something more important than work. I bear full responsibility for you all. You have my word."

A similar message went out from the Leo Burnett advertising agency: "Dear All, In view of the current situation, we understand, respect and support your decision if you choose not to come in today. Please inform your team head about the arrangement at your earliest convenience. Remember, please be safe!"

Singaporean activists organised a candlelight vigil at Hong Lim Park yesterday evening to show their support for the protesters in Hong Kong.

About 300 people turned up to the event with many people holding candles and singing Cantonese songs.
A banner was placed up at the park reading “Singapore in Solidarity with Hong Kong” which also had a picture of an umbrella.

Many attendees at the vigil also brought along an umbrella and some were also seen flipped in a similar fashion to those at the Hong Kong protests used to defend against tear gas.

Participants came dressed in the protest colours with black clothes and yellow ribbons.
Some police were seen at the area early on and they reminded the organisers that it will illegal for foreigners to be participating without getting a police permit.

In accordance with the reminder, organisers announced at the start of the gathering that foreigners were not allowed to be there.

Here are some photos of the vigil:
