History would repeats itself, the culture revolution 斗地主 totally destructed the rich in China 70 years ago. Once commie rolls in with their tanks, the rich can kiss arse and say bye bye to their physical assets.

But the rich are in cahoots with the Chinese government.

Instead of laughing, I would salute these rioters if they stormed, occupied and vandalised the mansions of these oligarchs instead.

If the protesters do that, the PLA will rush into Hong Kong to protect the rich.

• Now in their 10th week, the protests in Hong Kong have caused market volatility and disrupted flights, Business Insiderpreviously reported.

Protests have disrupted life in Hong Kong for 10 weeks, closing streets, causing volatility in the stock market, and disrupting flightsat its airport. Several of the city’s wealthiest citizens have had enough, including billionaire real-estate developer Peter Woo.

“It’s time to think deeply,” Woo, the former chairman of real estate developer Wheelock and Co. wrote in the Hong Kong Economic Journal on August 12, according to Bloomberg. “Going against the extradition bill was the ‘big tree’ of this movement. This one and only big appeal has already been accepted by the government, so this tree has fallen.”

Over $1 billion has been wiped off of Woo’s personal net worth since the protests began, according to Bloomberg. Woo is now worth $11 billion. According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Woo is the eighth-richest person in Hong Kong.
Swire Pacific, the owner of airline Cathay Pacific – the flag carrier of Hong Kong – also released a statement on August 13 calling for an end to the protester’s “illegal activities and violent behavior.”

“Swire Pacific is deeply concerned by the ongoing violence and disruption impacting Hong Kong,” the Hong Kong-based conglomerate said in the statement. The company also said it supports law enforcement and Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam “in their efforts to restore law and order.”

The real-estate developer run by Asia’s third-richest family, the Kwoks, has also called for an end to the unrest. “The recent series of violent acts to challenge the rule of law have damaged Hong Kong’s economy and seriously affect citizens’ daily life,” Sun Hung Kai Properties said in a statement, according to a translation byBloomberg. The Kwok family is worth $40.4 billion, according to Forbes.

The net worths of Hong Kong’s billionaires are unusually sensitive to market volatility, Business Insider previously reported. In 2018, Hong Kong’s high net worth population experienced the steepest drop in collective wealth of any region worldwide, according to French technology consulting firm Capgemini. The net worths of Hong Kong’s wealthiest residents fell 13% in 2018, compared to the global average of 3%, according to Capgemini.

Thousands took to the streets of Hong Kong beginning in July over an extradition bill with mainland China but have since expanded their focus to police actions and their democratic system, Business Insider previously reported. Protesters blocked departure gates in Hong Kong’s airport on August 13, causing hundreds of flights to be canceled. The protesters held signs apologizing to would-be passengers, saying they are “fighting for our freedom.”

On Wednesday morning, ABC News reported, flights at the airport resumed.

Yes my heart bleeds for this rich ppl...they have such a hard life...

Prominent businessmen call for jointly stopping violence, ending chaos in Hong Kong

21:21 UTC+8, 2019-08-15

CNS

A number of prominent businessmen in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have said that the recent escalating violence has affected Hong Kong's economy and people's livelihood, appealing to different sectors of the society to work together to stop violence and chaos and find a way out for Hong Kong's future.

During the past two weeks, many violent incidents occurred in Hong Kong, causing fears among the public, former chairman of The Wharf (Holdings) Limited Peter Woo said in a published article.

He stressed that stoping violence is the utmost and only demand in Hong Kong at the moment.

The HKSAR government has accepted the demonstrators' demand against the amendment of the two ordinances concerning the transfer of fugitive offenders, and the continued demonstrations now seem to be pursuing other conspiracies and goals, the article said.

The ongoing so-called "five demands movement" is in nature a struggle for power with the central government with an intention to change the HKSAR Basic Law and the decision made by the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress on August 31, 2014, so as to force a political reform in Hong Kong to enable the opposition to control the HKSAR Legislative Council, he pointed out.

Robert Ng, chairman of Sino Group, described the chaotic situation over the past two months in Hong Kong as distressing, saying that the development of Hong Kong from a small fishing village to one of the world's three major financial centers over the years is the result of the hard work of generations.

Hong Kong's hard-won prosperity and stability should be preserved and cherished, he said, calling for concerted efforts of all parties to bring social order back to normal and to focus on the development of the economy and people's livelihood.

Henry Cheng, chairman of New World Development Company Limited, said it is worrisome that violence in Hong Kong has intensified in the past two months, adding that the continued confrontation or violence has not helped resolve the current impasse, but on the contrary has affected different sectors of the society and left unpredictable sequels.

He called on all sectors to support the police in strictly enforcing the law, and to jointly curb violence and chaos and restore social order.

Peter Lee, co-chairman of Henderson Land Development Company Limited, warned that the continued chaos has plunged Hong Kong's economy into a state with both internal and external troubles. If the economy collapses, it will take a long time to rebuild and recover, retarding the development of a whole generation or even generations.

We all have the responsibility to safeguard Hong Kong, our home, he said, hoping that the general public will join hands to stop violence and chaos, so that the HKSAR government can take measures for reform and move on, and the Hong Kong society can restart to build a future with peace, prosperity and love.

Raymond Kwok, chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited, criticized the recent spate of violent acts for damaging Hong Kong's economy and people's lives. He called on the demonstrators to stop violence and return to reason, and reiterated that only by carrying out communication and dialogues can people find a way out for Hong Kong.

"One country, two systems" is the cornerstone for Hong Kong's success and the backbone of its prosperity, he said, adding that it should never be undermined by the escalating violence.

He expressed support for the HKSAR chief executive and government in exercising governance in accordance with the law, as well as to the Hong Kong police in safeguarding the rule of law.

CK Asset Holdings Limited issued a statement on Wednesday calling for stop of violent acts and hoping for rational discussions and the rebuilding of a harmonious society.

Charles Ho, chairman of Sing Tao News Corporation Limited, pointed out in a published article that what happened in Hong Kong recently is distressing to those who love Hong Kong but exhilarating to those who are hostile.

Due to the incitement by those with ulterior motives, people in Hong Kong with different views put aside the "Lion Rock spirit" of inclusiveness and striving side by side, leading to an extreme situation in which people fight against each other and the police are put at the focal point of the conflicts, he said, adding that some foreign governments as well as some politicians from Taiwan are adding fuel to the flame.
He pointed out that the disputes can only be settled in a peaceful and law-abiding manner and through rational communication.

Lui Che-woo, chairman of K. Wah Group, expressed hope that the public remain confident in the Hong Kong police force, which have enforced law impartially, showing them understandings and offering assistances.

A total of 41 real estate developers in Hong Kong have also issued a joint statement on Wednesday, strongly condemning the escalating violence, expressing firm support for HKSAR Chief Executive Carrie Lam, the HKSAR government, as well as support for the police force in strictly enforcing the law, curbing violence and chaos, and maintaining social order, so as to bring back the rule of law and calm to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

KNN this surely trigger the 15th theme song KNN


望望身边有钱人

人成大器 壮阔你手臂
多给于社会 一生得赞美
香港好多有钱人
偏不懂爱心 钱搵钱最真
身家不只过千万
公益他无份 关心怎会真
多少高攀有钱人

Hong Kong’s richest man Li Ka-shing breaks silence on crisis: love good, violence bad
16 August 2019 13:06

3 min read

Hong Kong’s richest man, Li Ka-shing, has issued front-page ads in several major local newspapers expressing sentiments in favour of love and against violence.

The ad campaign – launched in his capacity as a private citizen on Friday – is the first public response by Li after more than two months of anti-government protests in Hong Kong. Demonstrators are asking for a complete withdrawal of the city’s controversial extradition bill, as well as universal suffrage and an investigation into alleged police brutality.

Li issued two different ads in Chinese – both with very few words – without expressing any explicit support for the government or the protesters. In one ad, a stop sign was placed across the word “violence.”

“The best intentions can bring the worst results,” the ad said. “Cease the anger with love.”

The ad spoke of six loves: “Love China, love Hong Kong, love oneself; love freedom, love empathy, love rule of law.”
A second ad cited a Chinese idiom that stemmed from a historic poem from the Tang Dynasty. The poem referred to the story of Li Xian, son of Empress Wu, who asked her mother not to harm her sons for political power.

Li Ka-shing had used the same idiom during his speech in 2016 at the annual results announcement of Cheung Kong Holdings, when asked about his predictions for the 2017 chief executive election.

Li is the senior advisor of CK Asset Holdings Limited and CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, following his retirement as chairman in 2018.
A statement was issued later to explain the ads, in which Li said: “The road to Hell is often paved with good intentions. We need to be mindful of unintended consequences.”

“It is hard to imagine a better world when the community is highly charged. Violence in thoughts and actions is not a mean to accomplish any vision because they misrepresent – peaceful situations can come to feel dangerous, the percolation thereafter will be self-fulfilling,” he said.

“We need to cherish ourselves, our identity as a Chinese and a Hong Kong citizen, just as we treasure freedom, empathy and rule of law.”

The rest of the statement took the format of a Q&A with a spokesperson.
One question asked what Li’s views were on the government: “I think the government heard the messages from the protesters loud and clear and is diligently racking their brains now for solutions,” Li’s statement said.

Another question asked what his views were on young people today.

“The young always fear the future has nothing to do with them. Investing in our next generation will always bear fruit for our city. Investing in the future matters,” Li’s statement said.

“The time and space offered by ‘one country two systems’ must be safeguarded by mutual deference. Time is an endless river in constant flux, but we cannot step in the river twice, pray we never let today’s passion becomes tomorrow’s regret,” it added.

Several protests are planned for the weekend, though most have been banned by police.

If the protests stop and he gets back his $1bn in net worth, do any of the protestors get a cut of this? Or do they get rewarded instead with ever increasing property prices?

All parties are acting in their self interest. And those with more to lose better give a bigger cut to those with nothing to lose.

I challenge all the property tycoons to come out and say, end the protests and we will surrender our landbanks and build 100,000s affordable apartments for the people.

Don't worry. In about 10 to 15 years time, the same will happen here when the income gap widens.

Unlikely bro in such a short period. Housing remains affordable with HDB around. We have 80/20 public/private housing. HK is the other way round.

Hong Kong has been cooking with too much wok hei over the recent decades, fire too big. But food very tasty.

Singapore is the master of the small fire long simmer cooking style.

Not likely lah as long sinkees can afford to buy pigeon hole. HDB flat price will go up but PAP will allow you to use all your CPF to pay for it. Since most sinkees don't care about saving for retirement, they will be happy since they still got take home pay to use.
