All news outlets (and police, who made no arrest) blaming the pedestrian here and it does look like a foolish move from her. But two things: First, the 75-year-old taxi driver's AVERAGE speed from Tai Wong Street W to when he crashed into the woman outside QRE Plaza was 48 kph.

Can we stop calling them "off duty" cops. "Off duty" cops can become "cops" whenever they choose (eg at a volleyball match they might decide to film someone booing the Chinese team and have them arrested....) They can't have it both ways. This police officer was five times the

"Don't buy lunchboxes from unknown sources," says FEHD after raiding a food factory in Causeway Bay. Odd because many licensed restaurants in TST don't look a whole lot better than this. And FEHD doesn't really care. Maybe someone stepped on some toes here. #HongKong @discoverhk

I’m sure you’re well regarded and well rewarded in China, but please don’t patronise me. And this Democracy Perception Index just means that more people in China THINK their country is democratic, not that it objectively is.

The person in the back of this ambulance isn't having a great day. Ambulance has taken 6 minutes to get from Wyndham to Pottinger- mainly cos of illegal parking blocking the traffic flow but also drivers ignoring the sirens. #HongKong
