    Give it a rest. You are wandering off topic again. Basically, you claim China is great (since you left HK).

    Why are major multi nationals leaving, or planning to leave? Why are senior managers doing the same?

    Curious that this only happened after you left ……..

    Of course Singapore is popular. It’s more civilised and has a higher standard of regulation.

    Seems you retired just in time for them to ignore your previous advice and current indecision.

    Assuming such people ever listened to or followed the advice of an ordinary bank teller.

    Well, the TD illuminati have stated their sheeple opinion clearly. HK is going down, and China is going down.
    I say not. Lets see who is right.

    Not real well- it could and should have been avoided. Enjoy the fireworks.
    P.s- there is no such thing as a western bank teller in HK.

    He's still got a chance at backing out of Finland not joining NATO too, but he'll probably double down.

    Hong Kong to reopen to non-residents; Covid flight suspension rules to ease from May

    The flight suspension mechanism will be adjusted from May, with the flight ban duration shortened from seven days to five.

    Hong Kong will reopen to non-residents on May 1, the government announced on Friday evening. The Covid-19 flight suspension mechanism, which sees a seven-day route ban when three passengers test positive for the coronavirus on arrival in the city, will also be adjusted from May, with the ban shortened to five days.

    The flight suspension mechanism has been triggered 25 times since April 1.

    The Food and Health Bureau issued a statement on Friday evening detailing its plan to ease the city’s Covid-19 travel restrictions.

    “Although daily passenger arrivals have increased since April 1, when the government lifted the flight bans from nine overseas regions, the ratio of imported case has dropped instead of risen,” the statement said.

    According to the statement, non-residents will be allowed to enter the city from May 1. All inbound travellers are required to be fully vaccinated, obtain a negative result with a nucleic acid test before departure and make a prior booking at a designated quarantine hotel.

    Ever heard of Vistra? SG has overtaken HK.

    Foreign exchange, Commodity trading etc etc etc . . . SG trumps HK.

    Face it, HK is on a slide to the abyss because of our Beijing puppetmasters


    Are you really that dense . . . you're starting to throw out more bullshit than ever, hoping others can't be bothered to check. Well done.

    And no doubt China is too. Dream on, and let your heart rule your head. Anyway, you might like this-



    Hong Kong’s one-man election: A spectacularly wasteful exhibition of conspicuous consumption

    If there is only one candidate, there is surely no need to go through the whole ritual, especially if the whole ritual is as expensive as this one,” writes Tim Hamlett.

    ..... People are hurting. So this is not an auspicious time for our leaders to engage in a spectacularly wasteful exhibition of conspicuous consumption. Which is why it seems a shame that the processing of our sole candidate for chief executive, John Lee, is taking such an expensive form........

    More bullshit and lies, sabang.

    If you have a valid work permit then you can. As a matter of fact, the HSBC branch in Yau Ma Tei near King's Park, I used had a lady from the UK

    Find me a single caucasian bank teller in HK. In 12.5 years living there, I never encountered a single western bank teller. So go ahead, prove me wrong. Find me one, single western bank teller in Hong Kong. Or forever hold your codpiece.

    Im sure he could do exactly that, but he would not require to be spoonfed fictitious Chinese propaganda to do it.

    That's because you didn't live there for 12.5 years and weren't a banker . . . easy. Had you have lived there you would have, as I sated quite clearly and cited the location. I did. Prove mw wrong, fictitious banker.

    No need to prove you wrong . . . as above, you need to prove me wrong but you can' because you'd probably have difficulty finding HK on a map

    I see this thread is wandering. From a single election candidate to the existence of a honky bank teller. Honky not to be confused with Honkie in this case.

    But it’s sooooo important to Sabang! Not that he constantly wanders off topic on irrelevancies - ever.

    See #39 for the last on topic post. Then the sullen children dragged it own, pretty par for the course.
