FUNG SHUI MASTER Alion Yeung Tin-ming was on the cover of Sunday Young Post three months ago. He discussed the Sars outbreak which he had accurately predicted in 2002, and made further forecasts. Hong Kong would face a new a crisis between June 6 and August 8, he said. And destructive wind-related meteorological phenomenon and mass movements were likely.
On July 1, a waterspout - a rare kind of whirlwind occurring over water - was spotted south of Lamma Island. As for the mass movements, the 500,000 people who demonstrated against Article 23 and Tung Chee-hwa's government on July 1 must fit the bill.
On Wednesday, 50,000 people rallied outside the Legislative Council demanding democracy, and two more waterspouts were seen on the same day. But Yeung says these are not the only crises facing Hong Kong people.
'If the government did not defer the second reading of the national security legislation, the gathering on July 9 would definitely have turned into a riot as it was one of the worst days of the year,' says Yeung.
Though the Article 23 crisis has calmed down a bit, the SAR government is now facing a major crisis. Yeung predicts the chief executive is likely to step down by the end of this year for health reasons, and his cabinet will undergo some kind of reform.
