An all-purpose protest? I write to express my feelings about the candlelit vigil on Wednesday at Victoria Park for victims of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Although I was just a little girl when the crackdown happened 14 years ago, I knew what had transpired and I understood why the gathering would be held every June 4. It was an unforgettable event in China's history. But I began to doubt that the gatherings were just to remember the crackdown. This year, the organisers treated the gathering as a tool to use against the proposed Article 23 law as well as criticising the work of Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa. Some participants worried that this kind of gathering could not be held after the law is enacted. But many experts have said the candlelit vigil will not be against the law. However, I cannot understand why any participant can have this concern. I believe that the occasion was used as an excuse to criticise the Hong Kong and central governments. Instead of expressing their extreme feelings which does not help Hong Kong, it would be much better if the legislators involved work together to boost Hong Kong's Sars-hit economy. CHENG PUI, Tseung Kwan O Outrageous comparison I refer to the letter headlined 'The one-sided reporting on Aung San Suu Kyi incident' (June 6). I find the views expressed in the letter ignorant or stupid. Comparing the Nobel Peace Prize-winner to the racist Pauline Hanson is so out of order that I have to ask whether the letter was written as a joke or a dare. Does the writer have business interests in Myanmar or did he use this chance to put forth an anti-woman agenda? Would he say such condescending things about other (male) historical figures that fought for justice such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King? NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED Mistaken identity I refer to the article headlined 'Sars widow vows to sue Baptist Hospital' (South China Morning Post, June 5). It says: 'Cheung, the family's only breadwinner, was in charge of the kitchens at the Hong Kong Cricket Club.' The Hong Kong Cricket Club, although wholly sympathetic and saddened by the tragic loss of Mr Cheung Tak-sing to his grieving family, categorically states that Mr Cheung was not and at no time has been an employee or has been otherwise associated with the club.
