They call it the Umbrella Revolution. First, for these images of protesters using umbrellas to shield themselves from tear gas - and then from the pouring rain that drenched an immovable crowd in Central Hong Kong.
Taking some inspiration from the Occupy Wall Street movement, thousands of students took over a courtyard in Hong Kong's financial district on September 26th. They were sending a message to China - and the world - that they were over the oppressive Chinese regime.
Below is the LIVE broadcast from Apple Daily on the speeches made by the Protest leaders right now:

I refer to: Shanmugam: Hong Kongers should know they are part of China and should respect Beijing
To our very embarrassing LAW and FOREIGN Minister, Shanmugam:
Please shut up if you don't really know what's going on in Hong Kong lah! You don't talk, nobody will mistake you as "dumb".
The Basic Law, which was drafted and went along with the Sino-British Declaration, has stated CLEARLY that the Chief Executive of Hong Kong will ultimately be elected via UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. You are not only showing your utter IGNORANCE but really EMBARRASSING Singapore on International Stage!
Basic Law Article 45 gives the requirements for choosing the Chief Executive:
"The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be selected by election or through consultations held locally and be appointed by the Central People's Government.[1]"
<ins id="aswift_1_expand" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: currentColor; width: 336px; height: 280px; display: inline-table; visibility: visible; position: relative; background-color: transparent; border-image: none;"><ins id="aswift_1_anchor" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: currentColor; width: 336px; height: 280px; display: block; visibility: visible; position: relative; background-color: transparent; border-image: none;"><iframe name="aswift_1" width="336" height="280" id="aswift_1" frameBorder="0" marginWidth="0" marginHeight="0" scrolling="no" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; position: absolute;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></ins></ins>
"The method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress. The ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures." [Link]

this mofo wants to be responsible for students lives?
Bloody hell if the tanks rolled into HK streets bloodbath would ensue. Why must he open his big CB mouth and let SG into the picture? Is he trying to encourage CHN to use violence against the students protestors? Chow Brainless Ah Neh!
During an interview with Chinese daily, Lianhe Zaobao, Foreigner Affairs Minister K Shanmugam explained that China is unlikely to give in to the demands of Hong Kong Protesters.
He warned that if they did, they would have to change their basic law and it would also encourage others in China to act out against the government, following the example of the Hong Kongers.
Shanmugam felt that China needs to be “very careful” and he said he also understands China’s concerns.
He also noted that a lot of Western Media has been portraying the situation with a lot of anti-China bias. Western media is claiming that China has denied Hong Kong of democracy and that they are restricting the city’s freedom. However, Mr Shanmugam pointed out that Hong Kong has not actually had a true democracy in the last 150 years when the British were in power either.
Shanmugam said that he Sino-British Declaration on the handover of Hong Kong did not mention anything about universal suffrage, something the protesters in Hong Kong are calling for now.
“What Beijing is proposing is more than what Hong Kong ever had under the British. The Western media do not report these,” explained Mr Shanmugam.
Talking more about China’s perspective on the issue, Shanmugam explained that China wants to ensure unity and progress for the 1.3 billion people in China. He said that for China, staying away from a proper democracy will allow them to progress faster and develop more effectively.
Shanmugam gave the example of the US where politics has led to problems about budgets and a lack of much needed law reform because the two major parties keep blocking each other.
Another example was the break up of the Soviet Union and the weakness of Russia following the premature restructuring of political systems before the economics were strong.
Giving these examples, Shanmugam defended China’s move to keep democracy out and not to give in to Hong Kong protesters’ demands.
Shanmugam went on to say that Hong Kongers need to understand that China has acted in accordance with the basic law and they need to recognise that they are part of China and there are some things that China will allow and others that China will reject.
He added that Hong Kong is still heavily reliant on China.

Re: FAP Teaching China How to Deal with Hongkongers
Goh Meng Seng is an embarrassment, or we should be more forgiving after the UFO abducted him and ate his brains.
Article 45 of the Basic Law says "The ultimate aim is the selection of the chief executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures."
He put this in his post and he doesn't see it.

Re: Lee Hsien Loong broke his silence offering golden view on HK
As usual, not commenting on china totally tearing up the agreement with thatcher. That's what caused the protest. What's the point otherwise if you are not going to talk about this?
