A Letter to Hong Kong’s Parents: Why We’re Arguing With You

Often when I ask a student at one of the protest sites “What do your parents think?” the answer is “They don’t know I’m here.” Why are students not telling their parents, one reason is that they don’t want them to worry. Another is articulated here by Cherish and illustrated by @jasonli. The original letter was published in Chinese here www.inmediahk.net/node/1027439

Umbrella Movement Poll – Vote Adjourned

The Hong Kong Federation of Students, Scholarism, Occupy Central with Love and Peace, Pan-democracy Legislators and other representatives of the Umbrella Movement announced the decision to adjourn the poll in the Umbrella Square late afternoon on the 26 October, 2014. The reasons for the adjournment were outlined in a brief joint statement. Beyond doubts behind the questions and aims of the poll, amid voter confusion that the poll was about ending the current protests. There were also worries that the wifi vote system would be unable to handle the numbers of intending voters.

Joint Statement: Adjournment of First Poll in Umbrella Square

In view of the different opinions regarding the format, motions and effectiveness of the first poll that was scheduled on 26th and 27th October in Umbrella Square, we have decided to adjourn the poll after thorough discussions and careful consideration. We believe a mass movement should act according to the will of the people and we apologize to the public for the lack of discussion among the participants before making the previous decision. Still, we call for citizens to go to the three occupied areas today to exchange ideas on the future directions of the movement and how we can gather and consolidate the opinions of the supporters in order to strive for genuine universal suffrage together.

Editorial – 21 October, 2014

Did the leader of Hong Kong (supported and backed by Beijing) really say to the whole world that the lives, opinions and choices of people who earn less than US$1,800/month – roughly HK$10,000 – don’t matter.

CY, people who earn less than $10,000 month know how to budget, they appreciate each dollar earned and look for value in every dollar spent – something the government could learn from!

Just because you don’t earn a lot of money doesn’t mean you don’t have brains, common sense, opinions and a right to have a say in how your country is run. And as your own daughter has proved, just because you have money doesn’t stop you being a idiot.

The very reason people are on the streets CY is because you stopped listening to them, stopped looking out for all Hongkongers interests – which is the job of Chief Executive. You have only ever looked out for yourself and listened to those who put money in your pocket – that’s fine for a businessman.

But you’re Chief Executive now and responsible for all HongKongers interests. Perhaps you’ve forgotten who puts the majority of money into your wealthy friends pockets… it comes from those 2 million or so who earn less than $10,000. That’s $20billion a month in spending power, most of which is profit to your greedy tycoon cronies.

The people who power Hong Kong’s economy are the very people you insult with your comments and wish to disenfranchise.

We’re on the streets because we want a Chief Executive who looks out for all Hongkongers interests – not just his own. The existing method of selection hasn’t provided that, so we want change. Quite simply if you thought more about those who earned less than $10,000/month or even $15,000/month with your policies and public spending, then we wouldn’t be on the streets. And those policies have got nothing to do with the basic law – it’s incompetence and greed on the part of you and your tycoon friends that’s destroying Hong Kong.
