Charity auction winner to take star Jackie Chan to task over comments
Charity auction bidder to take action star to task over his comment about too much protest
The man who won a charity auction to have lunch with action movie star Jackie Chan says he will take the chance to discuss with Chan his recent controversial comments.
Angus Tso was among bidders who bought rare experiences offered in Santa's Silver Auction, which closed last Monday after selling 29 items, generating more than HK$120,000 for Operation Santa Claus (OSC).
OSC is an annual holiday appeal jointly organised by the South China Morning Post and RTHK. The money from the auction, organised by RTHK Radio 3, will go towards funding projects of 18 charitable organisations.
Tso, who donated HK$10,600 to win the lunch with Chan, said he wanted to meet the actor partly because of his suggestion in a recent magazine interview that the government should restrict Hong Kong people's freedom to demonstrate.
"Although I don't agree with all Chan's opinions, I think we can discuss them rationally," Tso said.
