My Take | DAB’s list of top spots for peeping Toms a disservice to women
Hong Kong’s largest political party may mean well, but do they have to widely publicise the list of ‘upskirt’ blackspots every year?
The DAB no doubt only wants morally upright citizens to be among its supporters. But the city’s largest political party has gone out of its way to attract perverts and voyeurs. No offence, but which other public bodies offer such a useful and reliable service as to compile an annual list of the best places in town to look up women’s skirts?
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, led by lawmaker and its women’s affairs chief Elizabeth Quat, has released its latest update of the 17 worst places for women to be exposed to the lewd gaze or hidden cameras of lechers.
Among these are the food court and Eslite Book Store at Hysan Place, and areas near the glass railings at Windsor House and Causeway Place in Causeway Bay; corridors near glass railings at the Central, Hong Kong and Tiu Keng Leng MTR stations, as well as those at Cheung Fat Plaza in Tsing Yi, The One shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, and MOKO, another shopping mall, above the Mong Kok East MTR station.
Now you know. The DAB list, in its seventh year, is helpfully updated annually, so it’s been ever expanding as a reliable guide for perverts. Even some upright citizens may be tempted to determine the accuracy of the DAB survey – for research purposes, of course.
Instead of the DAB, imagine the list was published by an online forum for voyeurs. Police and public prosecutors would have taken action already.
