The Daily Meal
A Sanrio Character Café Serves a Pastry that Poops and Barfs
YATA Gudetama Café by Izumi Curry in Hong Kong has a pop-up restaurant themed around Gudetama, a Sanrio character from the creators of Hello Kitty.
This restaurant has a dim sum menu with a bun shaped like Gudetama, the lazy egg character. But, the pastry can “poop” or “barf,” depending on the flavor you order. If you order a chocolate-filled bun, you are encouraged to poke a hole on Gudetama’s butt and squeeze out the “poop.” Poke a hole in the custard-filled buns to make Gudetama “barf.”

145 deaths this year as deadly flu bug hits Hong Kong

Hong Kong medical facilities under strain amid flu outbreak http://shar.es/1o8gou
The Straits Times
HONG KONG – Medical facilities in Hong Kong are running low on a major medicine used to fight a flu outbreak in the city, and further supplies may not be available for a week, doctors have said.
Hospitals are also facing a shortage of beds as Hong Kong grapples with a new strain of flu, reports said.
The H3N2 outbreak started on Jan 2, and has led to the hospitalisation of some 218 patients thus far, out of which 142 have died as of Monday, South China Morning Post reported.
Health authorities had, last week, said the situation is under control with no big clusters of outbreak of the current strain. But, as the city battles against an unusual high numbers of seasonal influenza, Doctors Union president Dr Henry Yeung Chiu-fat said some private clinics may not be able to get more Tamiflu drug until Feb 15.

Hong Kong flu suspected after spike in death toll
AJMER: Many swine flu casualties in the district have made the medical and health department now suspect the genetic mutation of swine flu virus H1N1 to that of Hong Kong virus H3N2. If this proves to be true the vaccines currently in use will not work and even the state government will be required to change strategy of treatment. Some officials off the record affirm that there is no research and development department for virology in the state.
On Tuesday, two more swine flu deaths were reported in the district. Seven-month pregnant Bhavita of Foy Sagar Road who was admitted in J L N hospital on Monday died in the isolation ward. Similarly, 40-year-old Chandra Mohan of Gujjar Dharti in the city died in the hospital.
In the last one week 12 deaths have been reported in the district due to the flu and health department is waiting for the reports of seven patients from the microbiology department. “We are working towards curbing the disease and have made 112 teams for survey and almost 10,000 patients everyday are being checked for symptoms in different hospitals,” said Rajesh Khatri, chief medical and health officer. There were four more swine flu casualties in which patients were brought from Nagaur district.

China seizes toilet paper ridiculing Hong Kong leader http://goo.gl/xlRuiZ
HONG KONG – China has wiped the smile off pro-democracy activists’ faces by seizing 7,600 rolls of toilet paper featuring Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing leader Leung Chun-ying pulling a series of ridiculous expressions.
Hong Kong’s Democratic Party said the politically charged toilet paper, along with 20,000 packets of tissues, were to be sold at a popular Chinese New Year fair opening next week before the products were seized by mainland authorities.
Hong Kong’s pro-democracy activists frequently ridicule Leung, portraying him as Dracula and a wolf, and repeatedly called for him to step down during more than two months of demonstrations late last year.
The Democratic Party – the largest pro-democracy group in the southern Chinese city – hoped to sell the tissues to raise funds for their activities ahead of a week-long holiday beginning on February 19.

ONLY 15, ALREADY A PROSTITUTE; AND NOW, DEAD AND DUMPED IN A RUBBISH BIN!
15-year-old girl found dead in rubbish bin allegedly died during “hotel sex game” in Hong Kong http://bit.ly/1zdpbQG
The New Paper
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
A 34-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing a 15-year-old girl- after her half-naked body was found at a rubbish collection centre in Mong Kok, Hong Kong.
She was found yesterday (Dec 9), bound with plastic strips and adhesive tape, and was naked from the waist down, according to a police source.
Police believe that the girl was involved in compensated dating – a discreet form of prostitution in which girls receive money and gifts in exchange for sex with men.
They are investigating if she had died from a sex game.
…
A police spokesman said:
“Her head, neck and four limbs were bound with plastic strips and adhesive tape.
“Initial examination carried out by forensic pathologists indicated the victim had been dead for a day and had had sexual intercourse.”
Police arrested the suspect last night after studying CCTV footage from surrounding buildings.

Police examine photos on Wan Chai double murder suspect’s cellphone http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1629862/foreign-national-arrested-police-investigate-double-wan-chai-murder …
Hong Kong police are examining a British murder suspect’s mobile phone in a quest to indentify possible further victims after two dead women were found at his Wan Chai flat on Saturday.
Photos of one of the two dead women were among the approximately 2,000 photos police found on the suspect’s smartphone, a police source said.
The photographed victim was found wrapped in a carpet inside a black suitcase on the balcony of the suspect’s flat in Wan Chai on Saturday.
The photos were apparently taken after she had died, the police source said. “Police are investigating whether there are more victims,” the source said.
…
A police source said the flat at J Residence, a high-end block at 60 Johnston Road favoured by junior expatriate bankers, was “covered in blood’’.
The first victim, aged between 25 and 30, was found naked in the living room with knife wounds to her neck and buttocks. “Two cut wounds were found in her neck and her throat was slashed,” the source said.
CCTV footage showed the woman and the suspect, who has not been charged, had returned to the flat at around midnight.
About eight hours after the first body was found, the naked corpse of the second woman, thought to be Indonesian and aged 25, was discovered wrapped in a carpet inside a black suitcase on the flat’s balcony. “She was nearly decapitated and her hands and legs were bound with ropes,” the source said. Her passport was found at the scene.

Hong Kong News SCMP: Murders grip the attention in Hong Kong, one of the world’s safest cities http://j.mp/1vvvJFP
Hong Kong’s reputation as one of the safest cities in the world is hard-earned and well deserved. Few big cities feel as safe regardless of how late or dark it is.
That goes some way to explain why murders in the city often grip the attention – even when they lack the sensational circumstances of the discovery of the bodies of two foreign nationals in Wan Chai hours after Halloween.
In August, the city was gripped by the grisly details of the murder trial of Henry Chau Hoi-leung and his friend Tse Chun-kei. The details of the case proved so extreme that the trial had to be abandoned when two jurors dropped out.
Chau, 30, and Tse, 36, allegedly killed, dismembered, salted and cooked Chau’s elderly parents in March last year.
The couple’s dismembered bodies were discovered in their flat in Tai Kok Tsui by police on March 15, with their heads and organs discovered inside two refrigerators.
The defendants had pleaded not guilty.
A new trial is scheduled for February next year, this time with nine jurors instead of the usual seven.

A British banker has been arrested on suspicion of a double murder after the bodies of two prostitutes were discovered in his up-market apartment in Hong Kong.
The 29-year-old allegedly called police to his home early yesterday morning, shortly after killing a woman, police said.
Officers rushed to the J Residence – a development of exclusive properties in the city’s Wan Chai district popular with young expatriate executives and bankers – and found the naked body of a woman aged between 25 and 30. She had suffered a series of knife wounds.
The body of a second woman was discovered in a suitcase on the balcony of the apartment. The victim had been tied up and is believed to have been left there for around a week.
Sex toys and cocaine were found in the apartment along with a knife, according to a police source.

Women targeted in sexual assaults at HK protests http://fb.me/6NUIMsHSh
HONG KONG – Women pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong are being targeted with sexual assaults and harassment, demonstrators and an international human rights group said as violence broke out in two of the city’s busiest shopping districts.
Amnesty International accused the police of “failing in their duty” to protect protesters from violence on Friday evening, and said that women and girls had been attacked.
…
An AFP reporter spoke to one young woman protester in Causeway Bay who said her three friends had been assaulted by a man who was opposed to the Occupy movement, whose supporters have vowed to stay on the streets until their goal of universal suffrage is achieved.
…
Amnesty said that a woman at the Mong Kok clashes had also been attacked.
“A man grabbed her breasts while she was standing with other protesters at around 4:00 pm (0800 GMT),” they said in a statement.
“She also witnessed the same man assault two other women by touching their groins,” it added, with other protesters intervening to help.
Tensions remained high at protest sites in Hong Kong Saturday with fears over further reprisals and journalists also being targeted.

Hong Kong’s ‘young army’ skip class to challenge China
Students march to Government House in Hong Kong on Thursday night to push the city’s leader during what democracy activists say will be a wider campaign of civil disobedience against Beijing’s refusal to grant the city full universal suffrage. 
Hong Kong (CNN) — Skipping class in the name of democracy.
Scores of high school students descended on Hong Kong government headquarters on Friday, joining a week-long boycott by university students.
Most are not old enough to drive in the former British colony, but their political vision is clear.
“The future of Hong Kong is ours,” 16-year-old student protester Phoebe Leung tells me.
“I can’t change Hong Kong, but if all of us are here… we may change Hong Kong’s future.”
They want to pressure China into giving Hong Kong full universal suffrage: one man, one vote plus the ability to choose its own candidates independent of Beijing.
In August, Beijing ruled that candidates for the city’s top post must be selected by a committee perceived to serve the Chinese Communist Party.

China media: Hong Kong protest
Thousands of students are protesting against Beijing’s Hong Kong policiesPapers give prominent coverage to President Xi Jinping’s statement that Beijing’s policy “will not change” in Hong Kong.
Mr Xi on Monday met Hong Kong’s influential business leaders in Beijing, state-run Xinhua News Agency reports.
In the meeting, Mr Xi stressed that the “basic principle and policy” of “one country, two systems” towards Hong Kong “has not changed and will not change”.
The meeting comes three weeks after the central government ruled out open nomination of candidates for the Hong Kong chief executive election in 2017.
The move sparked anger among pro-democracy groups and activists who accuse Beijing of breaking its promise to allow Hong Kong to choose its leader directly.
Thousands of Hong Kong students started a week-long boycott of classes on Monday to protest against the recent decision.
But most of China’s state-run media outlets have not commented directly on the student-led protests.
Ignoring the protests, the China Daily highlights Mr Xi’s assurance of stability in Hong Kong.
Wang Zhenmin, the dean of the School of Law at Tsinghua University, tells the paper that Mr Xi’s remarks aim to reassure Hong Kong people about Beijing’s policies, “especially the businessmen and investors who have great influence on the city’s prosperity and stability”.
“The communication between Beijing and the Hong Kong business sector is now very necessary… Hong Kong businessmen are eager to know more about the central government’s policies as they have some concern about uncertainties over the election,” the expert says.
Experts interviewed by the Beijing News point out that Mr Xi’s speech was “directed at all sectors in Hong Kong”, and the “authority and the legality of the decision cannot be challenged or questioned”.
“Mr Xi’s speech has sent out an authoritative signal in a formal occasion that the central government’s policy on Hong Kong has never changed,” says Qiang Shigong, a Hong Kong affairs expert at Beijing University.

Hong Kong students kick off class boycott to protest China’s refusal to grant the city full universal suffrage. http://ow.ly/BKZDB …
Hong Kong students Monday began a week-long boycott of classes, the start of what democracy activists say will be a wider campaign of civil disobedience against China’s refusal to grant the city full universal suffrage.Democracy leaders are currently locked in a showdown with the mainland authorities after the former British colony’s hopes for full and unfettered democracy were dashed by Beijing’s plans to vet nominees who want to stand as its next leader.A coalition of pro-democracy groups in the semi-autonomous Chinese city, led by Occupy Central, have labelled the restrictions a “fake democracy”. They have vowed a series of actions including a blockade of the Central financial district.The city’s vocal student community Monday became the first wing of that coalition to move from protests to direct action — starting a week of class boycotts designed to capture the public’s imagination and bolster the pro-democracy fight.Around a thousand students from different universities, many waving the flags of their faculties and sporting yellow ribbons, stopped going to classes in the morning and instead gathered on the leafy campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.”I don’t think the Chinese government is trying to protect our rights so now we are coming out to fight for our basic needs,” 20-year-old architecture student Wu Tsz-wing told AFP.”The boycott of classes can totally raise the awareness of Hong Kong society,” added 19-year-old student Leanne Lo.”They will think about what they can do for Hong Kong’s future elections and justice,” the second-year social work student said.

Dog found alive after online video shows poodle shut in top-loader – two weeks after outcry over Facebook images of submerged dog.
Clifford Lo clifford.lo@scmp.com
PUBLISHED : Friday, 19 September, 2014, 7:25pm
An online video of a dog being put in a washing machine led to the arrest of two men yesterday and the removal of a toy poodle from their Mong Kok flat – apparently the same dog filmed being shut inside the machine.
It is the second case of a dog being put in a washing machine to have hit the headlines this month, after images posted online sparked complaints.
Police were accompanied by representatives of an animal welfare group when they raided the flat in Fa Yuen Street at about 7.30am and arrested the men, aged 22 and 38.
“No external wounds were found on the dog. Our vet will carry out a detailed examination,” a spokeswoman for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said.

Thousands of Hongkongers join sex club to fulfil their X-rated fantasies
Sexually adventurous Hongkongers can join a club to fulfil their X-rated fantasies, but membership rules are strict.
…
Love’s Whirlpool, a Japanese film now playing on local screens, uses a swingers’ club to explore the modern conundrum of fulfilling the human need to connect even as people seem increasingly unable to communicate with one another. Adapted for the screen by Daisuke Miura and based on his 2005 play of the same name, it follows the events at a sex party where eight strangers overcome inhibitions and inevitable awkwardness for a night of doubtful couplings.
The film’s party organisers have a real-life Hong Kong counterpart in Chris, a nattily turned out local man in his early 40s whose day job gives him the flexibility to run the sex club that he founded in 2007. He initially organised a few parties for fun, but then decided he could help people learn more about sex.

The club aims to give a safe and discrete environment for people to act out their sexual fantasies, Chris says, so applicants are vetted and must agree to its rules and submit results of a recent blood test along with photos and a form detailing their sexual experience.
He began asking for blood tests in 2009, first to check for hepatitis B, then HIV/Aids and eventually for all sexually transmitted diseases. Now members are required to be tested every six months and send in the results before they may join the next party.
…
His members, he says, are ordinary looking people, with women aged 18 to 50 and men 22 to 49. “The meetings are meant to create a culture that’s inclusive,” Chris says. “As long as the person has a good personality, we will accept them.
“It’s harder to find decent men, though. Some may have good looks, but they can be mean or have inflated egos.”

THIS IS THE MAN WHO MURDERED HIS PARENTS and made char siew of them!
Chau called himself a “psychopath” in the messages and said: “I cannot empathise with people’s pain because of my experiences from childhood and adolescence”.
..
HE AND HIS FRIEND MADE PLANS FOR 3 MONTHS AND THEN THEY ACTED: THEY MURDERED HIS PARENTS, CHOPPED THEM UP AND COOKED THEM LIKE CHAR SIEW!
Stomp
The severed heads of 65-year-old Chau Wing-ki and his wife Siu Yuet-yee, 62, were found in March last year, stuffed into two refrigerators in a bloodstained apartment, days after they were reported missing.
The other remains were found in a rubbish bin, cooked and packed into lunchboxes with rice, in an attempt by the duo to hide the crime after they ran out of space in the refrigerators.

Man ‘murdered parents and cooked bodies like barbecued pork’, Hong Kong court hears http://ind.pn/1kGYG2V pic.twitter.com/LtG4KVp5Zr
The Independent
A man murdered his parents, chopped up their bodies and cooked them with rice “like barbecued pork” to hide the evidence, a court in Hong Kong has heard.
Henry Chau Hoi-leung, 30, and his accomplice, 36-year-old Tse Chun-kei are accused of planning the gruesome killing for more than three months, using the time to buy knives, refrigerators, microwaves and a rice cooker.
His parents, Chau Wing-ki, 65, and Siu Yuet-yee, 62, went missing in March last year and their heads and organs were found stuffed into two fridges in a bloodstained apartment two weeks later.
Their dismembered bodies had been salted and packed into lunchboxes, the South China Morning Post reported.
…
After his arrest, Henry Chau told police that he and Tse killed his parents, but that it was Tse who dismembered the bodies.
He said he chose to kill his parents because his “emotional connection with them had broken down”, the South China Morning Post reported.

New blog post: Hong Kong people can be nice: A lot of people have the impression that Hong Kong people are unf… http://bit.ly/1osAlN7
A lot of people have the impression that Hong Kong people are unfriendly, rude or impolite. And it’s understandable, given how many there are that:
- don’t open doors for others
- don’t yield or give way – EVER
- don’t make eye contact or conversation with strangers
- speak in a rough manner or just loudly
- poke you in the eye with umbrellas
- don’t help you if you fall down
- (..the list goes on and on)
BUT… I have to say that nice Hong Kong people DO exist, and here’s proof:
Just yesterday, when I was at my favourite fruit stall in Causeway Bay to buy some longan fruit (only HK$12 for two pounds) the guy threw in a free mandarin orange for me, for no reason at all, with a big smile on his face.
Then, at night, when it started to pour down, I was walking home in front of a HK lady with an umbrella, and while I was at a stoplight waiting to cross the street, she offered to share her umbrella with me until I reached cover. After she reached her building and went inside, she came back out to ask me if I wanted to borrow her umbrella — me, a total stranger!
And today, when I was crossing the road in Sheung Wan, I was looking the wrong way when a HK lady reached out and stopped me from stepping right in front of a moving tram, saying “Watch out, miss!”
So, has HK always been this nice or has something changed? Has anyone else had similar experiences (and I’m not talking about people you’ve known for a while, but total strangers)? Let me know!

Look: Hong Kong lady’s barely-there skirt creates online buzz
A photo snapped in Hong Kong of a young woman rocking a wire “skirt” that exposes her white undies to passersby has been the subject of hot discussion online among netizens who’ve dubbed the contraption “The Emperor’s New Skirt“.
The woman in the photo is seen wearing a regular (that is to say, existent) top while carrying two large bags, as though she’d just gone shopping. By contrast, her lantern-like bottom, constructed with wires but no fabric, looks like it was pulled out of a seamstress’s shop half-finished.

You shall not pass: Woman strips naked and blocks Hong Kong ATM
A 37-year-old Filipino woman made Hong Kongers’ daily commute a bit more exciting yesterday afternoon when she inexplicably took off all her clothes at an MTR station in Mongkok and stood in front of an ATM machine to block people from using it.
The woman, identified as Liza, was apparently in an agitated state when she ripped off every article of clothing but her underwear around 2:00 p.m. at the busy Mongkok station. Her belongings, including a suitcase and shoes, were scattered on the floor.
..
The spectacle lasted for around a half an hour, but was resolved when MTR staff convinced the woman to cover up with a towel. Police arrived at the site and the woman was sent to the hospital for medical check

THE PRO-DEMOCRACY MARCH
July 1 march
The annual July 1 march in Hong Kong marks the handover of the British colony to Beijing that took place in 1997. The peaceful demonstration has become a rallying point for pro-democracy activists. The march captured the public’s attention in 2003, when half a million marched, angered by proposed national security legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law.

LIVE: Protesters occupy Chater Road after July 1 march, as police warn they could take ‘decisive’ action
UPDATED : Tuesday, 01 July, 2014, 10:56pm
Good evening and welcome to scmp.com’s live coverage of Hong Kong’s annual July 1 march. Tens of thousands of people took to the city’s streets this afternoon, while some 4,000 police officers are on patrol. Stay tuned for all the latest developments as they happen.
10.39pm: Protesters in Chater Road applaud as members of student-led group Scholarism set off for the Chief Executive office in Tamar, where they are planning an ‘occupy’ protest.
10.34pm: And still the march goes on! The tail of the original July 1 demonstration is approaching Admiralty, more than seven hours after the first marchers set off from Victoria Park.
10.30pm: Lawmakers Lee Cheuk-yan (Labour Party leader) and Albert Ho Chun-yan (former Democratic Party leader) pledge to remain in Chater Road to back the students’ ‘occupy’ action.
10.14pm: Kay Tse’s controversial new Canto-pop song ‘Egg and Lamb’, which was uploaded on YouTube on June 30, has so far attracted more than 270,000 views. The song talks about how a free man turned into a slave, and how “eggs crash into wall” refusing to yield.
Pop singer Hocc, who is an outspoken gay rights advocate, has uploaded a picture of her joining the protest with fellow singer Anthony Wong Yiu-ming onto her Facebook page. The picture has drawn more than 15,000 ‘Likes’ in six hours.

After almost 800,000 Occupy Central ‘votes,’ Hong Kong readies for massive protest
Hong Kong (CNN) — July 1, 2014, the 17th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese rule, promises to be a hot, stormy day.
But the suffocating weather won’t stop pro-democracy Hong Kongers — possibly hundreds of thousands of them — from filling the streets. Activists are openly challenging China’s vision for the city’s political future, and they believe the public is on their side.
In a recent unofficial referendum organized by pro-democracy activist group Occupy Central with Love and Peace (OCLP), 787,767 Hong Kongers voted in support of free elections for the city’s next leader.
The almost-800,000 figure represents about 22% of registered voters in Hong Kong, out of a total of 3.5 million registered voters, according to government figures. Before the vote began ten days ago, organizers were hoping around 100,000 people would participate.
Benny Tai, a co-organiser of OCLP, said Hong Kongers were “using this opportunity to at least show Beijing how determined we are for universal suffrage.”
Hong Kong’s former second-highest-ranked official, Anson Chan, echoed the sentiment in an interview with CNN on Monday.
“Whatever Beijing says in public now I think it can hardly afford to ignore the voices of 780,000 people.”

Huge crowds upset with China expected for HK rally
– 21 minutes ago
HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong is gearing up for an annual protest march that’s expected to draw three times as many people as in the past angered by Beijing’s insistence on limiting residents’ say in picking the southern Chinese financial hub’s next leader.
Organizers expect at least 150,000 people to take to the streets Tuesday to show their support for democratic reform and oppose Beijing’s desire to have the final say on candidates for the chief executive’s job.

The ballot was organised by a group called Occupy Central, which threatens a mass sit-in in the business district later this year unless authorities come up with acceptable electoral reforms.
Beijing has promised to let Hong Kong residents elect their next chief executive in 2017 but has ruled out giving voters a say in selecting candidates.
This has fuelled fears among democracy advocates that only those sympathetic to Beijing will be allowed to stand.
The chief executive is currently selected by a 1,200-strong pro-Beijing committee.

China slams Hong Kong democracy poll despite 800,000 votes
By Dennis Chong | AFP News
Organisers Monday urged Hong Kong’s government to take seriously an unofficial referendum on democratic reform after nearly 800,000 people voted in the Chinese city, but state media in Beijing dismissed the ballot as unpatriotic.
The poll organised by pro-democracy activists that closed late Sunday saw more than 780,000 people voting on how Hong Kong’s next leader should be chosen, days before a planned massive protest for greater democracy in the semi-autonomous city.
Some 88 percent of those who voted over 10 days in the referendum urged the city’s lawmakers to veto any political reform plans that do not meet “international standards”.
The number of voters represents almost a quarter of the 3.47 million who registered to vote at elections in 2012, in a city of 7.2 million.
“The Hong Kong government should take seriously the views of nearly 800,000 citizens,” referendum organiser Benny Tai told a radio programme Monday.
…
Chinese state media slammed the vote as unpatriotic and driven by “political paranoia”, while the government of the former British colony said it “respected” people’s views.

Hong Kong Holds Referendum on Democratic Reforms
People vote at a polling center for an unofficial referendum on democratic reform in Hong Kong Sunday, June 22, 2014.
Polling stations across Hong Kong opened Sunday in an unofficial referendum on democratic reform in the former British colony, a move that has angered Beijing.
Nearly 600,000 votes have been cast in three days of online and telephone voting that began on Friday. Chinese Communist Party authorities have declared the referendum illegal and without effect, as has the government of Hong Kong.
The Occupy Central movement, which organized the balloting, opened actual voting stations on Sunday, after a massive cyber attack on their voting website last week. The voting period was also extended until June 29.
The referendum proposes three options for citizens to choose who can run for the chief executive office of Hong Kong. Currently, candidates are chosen by a pro-Beijing committee.

Hong Kong referendum
Voting to vote
MORE than 400,000 votes were cast online Friday in the first day of an unofficial city-wide referendum on democratic reforms in Hong Kong, according to organisers, who have alleged that forces possibly connected to the Chinese government have been trying to sabotage their efforts. “Let’s keep it going!” said Occupy Central, a civil disobedience group, in a Twitter post reporting the tally.
Mainland authorities have made no secret of their disdain for the campaign. They have called the referendum “illegal and invalid” and an “outright challenge to the Basic Law” the foundational document of Hong Kong’s governance since its return in 1997 to Chinese rule.
In the week before the scheduled start of the referendum, a website developed with local universities to accept online votes received billions of hits in an apparent denial-of-service cyber-attack. The independent Chinese-language newspaper Apple Daily, which has given extensive coverage to Occupy Central, was also taken down by cyber-attacks in the run-up to the referendum.
The Chinese government has promised to allow the selection of Hong Kong’s next leader, in 2017, through universal suffrage, but has ruled out public nomination for candidates and insisted that only candidates who “love China” should be eligible. The Occupy Central group plans to mobilise thousands to stage a mass sit-in on the streets of the city’s financial district if Beijing does not allow voters to have genuine choice among candidates.

70 injured as Hong Kong high-speed ferry crashes in Macau
TurboJet high-speed jetfoil crashed into breakwater as it entered Macau’s harbour; one crew member ‘seriously injured’
Seventy people were injured, some seriously, when a high-speed ferry carrying 220 passengers and 13 crew members from Hong Kong slammed into a breakwater off the main ferry pier in Macau on Friday morning.
The TurboJet ferry, Cacilhas, mounted the breakwater before listing to its right at about 9.30am, according to Macau’s marine and water bureau.
The 45 men and 25 women, aged 17 to 69, reported as injured include 59 Hong Kong residents, four Korean tourists, one Japanese visitor, two Thailand travellers and four Macau residents, according to Macau’s health department. Nine crew members were among those hurt, the department said.
“The injured were conscious while being sent to hospital,” a department spokesman said. “An initial assessment showed they suffered minor injuries, mainly bruises and abrasions.”
A spokesman for operator TurboJet said one crew member suffered “serious injuries” to the waist, while 50 of the injured have been discharged from hospital.

A 22-year-old psychiatric patient has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a passer-by was killed by a chair thought to have been thrown from the roof of a 10-storey building in Mong Kok yesterday.
The suspect is a former waiter who had been receiving treatment for mental illness for about six months, a police source said.
“Doctors are assessing his mental state in hospital,” the source said. “We will look into the results of his medical examination as part of our investigation.”
Salesman Wong Wai-tik, 29, died after being hit by the chair as he walked with two colleagues on Sai Yeung Choi Street South at about 1 am yesterday. He was declared dead at Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei at 1.19am.
The 22-year-old waiter, who arrived from the mainland in 2009, was found drinking beer alone on the roof of the building at No 59 in the same street where he lived alone in a top-floor flat, police said.
