Poetry as ‘therapy’: Hong Kong’s domestic workers muse about love, sacrifice in their home away from home A new anthology, Ingat, showcases poems and photos by Hong Kong’s domestic workers. Thank you @tineneil and others for speaking to me! hongkongfp.com/2024/03/09/poe…
1/ Extremely grateful to the @splicenewsroom, @rishadist @alansoon for having us at the Chiang Mai #SpliceBeta conference last wk. It was absolutely buzzing, yet again. And it turns all ideas of what a 'media conference' is on their head, thanks to Alan, Rishad & team. 🏆
🏳️🌈 Today is #IDAHOT, so it’s as good a time as any to learn that the HK government - under an “equality” scheme - has been funding groups promoting conversion therapy for two decades. My reporting from last month: hongkongfp.com/2023/05/07/the…
From beauty pageants featuring attractive mask-wearing women to the government's questionable granny underwear-looking masks, a round-up of Hong Kong's mask-related headlines and antics of the past three years:

#BreakingHongKongNews Lawmaker with three degrees from now defunct university operated out of a Hawaiian bungalow worried about people getting jobs without knowing how to do things.
1/ 🧵At least 200 people lined up outside West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts early Monday morning as #HongKong's largest national security case against 47 pro-democracy figures was set to begin: bit.ly/3Y7SViY
As the protests against Covid rules escalated in China, some mainlanders studying in Hong Kong related the unrest to the city's 2019 movement. Two of them tell HKFP of their political awakening & their fears for how the wave of dissent back home might end: bit.ly/3VDV6sT
In my interview with more than a dozen young Chinese protesters, I heard of a burst of pent-up anger and frustration with how the gov't implements “zero Covid.” But their anger and despair goes beyond that, all the way to questioning the rule of Mr. Xi. nytimes.com/2022/11/29/bus…
More shows of solidarity at the University of Hong Kong tonight. "I am not foreign forces, I'm Chinese. China should have different voices," a young woman said as blank pieces of paper flutter from above.
HK's Covid rules for arrivals confuse everybody, not least domestic workers who face a language barrier and are here for the first time. Dozens have been fined HK$10,000 for missing a Covid test, an amount double their monthly salary. hongkongfp.com/2022/11/06/dom…
If you have an @FT subscription, this piece by @TomHale_ is a terrifying yet deeply entertaining read ft.com/content/776226…
At Hong Kong's banker's summit this morning, CSRC vice-chair Fang Xinghai got the biggest laugh from the crowd so far. "A lot of media reports, they don't really understand China very well and they have a short term focus... Don't read too much of the international media."
VICE Korea editor @junhyupkwon writes: "We weren’t alone in feeling disoriented. In front of me, people were dying, or were already dead, but surrounding them were others still partying in costumes—dressing up as the Grim Reaper—to loud music." vice.com/en/article/5d3…
Today marks 1,000 days since Covid was first reported in Hong Kong. Of the 1,000 days, restaurant dine-in after 6pm was banned for 218 days; government beaches were shut for 272. hongkongfp.com/2022/10/18/100…
