New Year’s Fireworks Cancelled

A reminder that due to the repeated use of excessive force by the HK Police and an overtime budget of almost $1billion the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks have been canceled.

Carrie Lam promised to listen to HongKongers when ‘elected’ but has ignored us since then. Millions can march peacefully and be ignored but the fireworks enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists each year, will be replaced by an enhanced version of Symphony of Lights and an online $4million ‘lucky draw’.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Hong Kong

Hong Kong welcomed in 2017 with a vibrant firework display on the iconic Victoria Harbour. The traditional 8 minute display extended to 10 minutes included a ’20 gun salute’ to announce the start of the year of the 20th anniversary celebrations for the founding of the Hong Kong SAR.
