I’m not planning to launch this radio station just to get myself on air again. That’s like opening a restaurant if I just want to eat! But still, I might host a show.
Radio is not dying. It is the one media that has been hurt the least by the internet.
I want to stir up the market and create more competition. Radio here is so outdated. What’s changed in the past 20 years?
The purposes of doing a talk show are to protect the rights of vulnerable social groups and retain social justice. I also like to provide alternative points of view.
The problem with talk shows now is that they don’t carry out follow-up action. Maybe they don’t have enough commitment.
I don’t regard myself as just a talk show host. I see myself as a social activist. I participate a lot and I always manage to raise people’s awareness on issues such as harbor protection.
Am I really good at pushing people? Maybe. I think I have a certain charisma, which helps. But persistency and consistency are more important.
It’s like my role as a talk show host and a legislator. I could have run for Legco a lot earlier, but instead I hosted the phone-in show at Commercial Radio for 10 years, until they fired me.
I do believe in fate - after running around in circles, you’ll go back to where you are meant to be. After four years in Legco, I’m going to establish this AM channel, and I might become a radio host again. You see?
Sometimes when you look back on things you have to see the bigger picture.
Before I became a talk show host, I was a publisher and a business consultant. I actually started my career as a plane engineer.
I was the one to introduce “Playboy” Magazine to Hong Kong. I wanted to bring a high-quality magazine to the city.
I think the standard of the media is dropping. There are still many open-minded people in Hong Kong. But the media controls the ideology of the society.
They’re disconnected from the people. How could they think they are absolutely right and represent all citizens in Hong Kong? Excuse me, but authorized by whom?
Men should live without fear. If you always live in fear, there’s nothing you can do. My belief in this hasn’t changed. Even after I was attacked and chopped.
Did I suffer from any post-traumatic stress? Not really. Maybe I’m an optimist. I think all problems can be solved in the end.
Teenagers nowadays are being raised in a greenhouse. They don’t have resistance to adversity. There are no hard lessons for them in reality.
To me, Christianity is results-oriented. It’s like you can convert to God the last minute before you die, and then all your sins from the past will be forgiven.
I can’t take Jesus Christ as the solution for everything. He’s an example of successful marketing, though.
There’s no absolute justice in any society. People must fight for their own rights. If you don’t march your first step, nothing’s going to happen.
I don’t think I’ve ever wrongly scolded anybody in my shows.
Sometimes I think I might be too mean. But the truth is, it’s always unpleasant to be scolded by other people. So it doesn’t matter whether you’ve hit them hard or soft. What matters is whether they deserved to be criticized.
