Deep condolences to the death of Hong Kong tourists in the Manila Hostage-taking tragedy
23 Aug 2010 is not a good day today....
Sadly, the most terrible hostage-taking scene as in movie happened in real life, the Hong Tai travel agency's tourist bus was being hijacked, with 15 Hong Kong people being the hostage. ...the incident ended in blood. The whole incident lasted over 10 hours from morning till 8:40pm .....and the latest news till now is that 8 Hong Kong-ers were dead.
As seen from the live news, the most tragic thing is that the incident was happening in a country that their police force is actually incompetent to handle such cases.....the so called " SWAT " is disappointing and bringing up anger of all Hong Kong people....we could not see them having any wise tactics and good weapons to get the situation under control.....their poor performance.....i guess it's not being mean to comment as unacceptable...... and this in the end risked some of our people's lives....in one video on Youtube it makes me believe that maybe some hostages were actually killed by the random fire by the Philippine's SWAT even after the hostage-taker was shot dead by sniper.....SAD...SO SAD~~~
i think many of us Hong Kong people cannot sleep well tonight.......
in deep condolences to the victims......RIP
***************************
the other ridiculous thing i came across today is about the so called " MERCY " from the Government....
we have a client who was an illegal immigrant was supposed to be going to receive our service today.......but then when we contacted the related custody department they said because of the Government granted him to be released early, he was immediately expelled back to China...........so...the situation was: he was in jail in Hong Kong...then found sick n need our service....then we proceeded with our normal procedures and be ready to deliver our service to him, ignoring the fact that he was a criminal but in fact was someone who actually needed help........then ridiculously the so called "mercy" from our Government set him free n sent him back to China IMMEDIATELY, even they know he's waiting for our service to be delivered.......AND where it is almost definite that he would never get the same service as we could provide...or simply he might not be receiving any services at all.....
Sadly, he may be just going back n waiting to die.......So how come this could be called a mercy? if he's not granted the opportunity to set free earlier, he could actually stay and receive our service n thus to improve his quality of life, as a human.....i'm not saying that not to grant him the opportunity to set free earlier....but in view of the point that if our Government would at least let him complete the course that we offered for him before expelling him...the whole thing would sounds having more humanity.....
This is ridiculous!
