Mainland Chinese aren't the only ones peeing on streets of
Hong Kong

2:19pmAll sorts, not just Chinese mainlanders, answer call of nature in
publicIf you only get your news stories from local social media, you may
think Hong Kong is about to be flooded in mainland urine.These sites are
filled with accounts of mainland visitors' misbehaviour, the most
provocative of which must be their supposedly carefree way of answering the
call of nature in public. The latest spark to an escalating toilet war
stemmed from a fight in Mong Kok between a mainland couple and several
locals who filmed their child relieving himself. The clips went viral on the
internet, being viewed more than a million times. Even the state-owned
;People's Daily weighed in.A campaign has been launched on the mainland
urging parents to let their children urinate on our streets. A Hong Kong
counter-campaign asks people to film and document such misbehaviour. It
would be comical if it was not so tragic.Are mainlanders the only ones
incapable of finding or using public toilets?In Hong Kong, I have seen that
type of behaviour from any number of visually identifiable groups - local
Chinese, expatriates, foreign (non-mainland) visitors, taxi drivers, teenage
schoolboys, fathers and sons, and yes, fellow journalists. I have seen it
at the Sevens and in the Wan Chai bar district.Just last year, I witnessed a
young man unzipping himself on Leighton Road, near my office, during the
evening rush hour and releasing a long stream in front of dozens of
horrified and disgusted people. I was sure his first language was neither
Cantonese nor Putonghua.Such behaviour can get you arrested in Hong Kong and
you would not just face a fixed penalty. If someone breaks the law, he or
she should pay for it. The police should make an example of those guilty of
such misbehaviour, regardless of their race, ethnicity or any other
identifiable physical attributes.Yes, there is a lot of anger and
frustration over the way mainland tourists have flooded into Hong Kong,
overwhelmed our facilities and distorted our economy. A strong case can be,
and has been, made to control the number of visitors. That is a valid
concern. But try not to demonise some people with behaviour that everyone
else is guilty of at one time or another. |
