On the death of Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs:
Philip Ho - Steve Jobs was a talent in IT. His untimely death is a great sadness.
Davood Jalili - I was awestruck when I heard the news. He will remain as one of the most innovative minds of our time. May God bless his departed soul!
Patrick Lo - What a pity!
Beijing warns of 'trade war' over US currency bill:
Kelvin Ng - The Americans want others to sink (by appreciating) so that they can stay afloat (by depreciating and writing off debts). That's simple. But it is difficult to find someone as foolish as the Americans now.
Byt Chung - Of course the yuan should rise. The weak yuan is nothing more than an oppressive tool the Communist Party has been using against its people. People toil their whole lives but are not getting fair pay.
Shanghai left with a 19bn-yuan bill after Expo:
Bjorn Berg - I lived in Shanghai at the time of the Expo. I made a brief visit there but was quite underwhelmed and still left clueless as to the actual point of having an Expo anywhere in this day and age. The best thing that came from it was the larger investment in the Shanghai Metro.
Some low-income families are too poor for one square meal a day:
Sam Ho - Hong Kong is gradually becoming a paradise for the rich and powerful minority, and a hell for the powerless majority. Starvation will happen if the SAR administration continues with its favours for the rich and powerful, and cares little about the underprivileged. Prompt action should be taken to at least alleviate the situation, or Hong Kong will eventually become a third-world city.
Jimmy Ngai - Shame on us.
Cesar Fragozo - Sad ... what a contrast.
