It may not have been the protesters’ intention, but they can’t deny that their actions have affected many of the cities industries. The protests were quite peaceful in the beginning, but they have since grown violent, often descending into riots. This has severely affected Hong Kong’s tourism and retail industries. It’s a shame that the tourism industry has been affected, because... https://www.scmp.com/yp/discover/your-voice/opinion/article/3068424/face-are-ongoing-protests-root-problems-hong-kongs?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/yp/discover/your-voice/opinion/article/3068424/face-are-ongoing-protests-root-problems-hong-kongs?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 05 Nov 2019 03:06:56 +0000 Nester Chik Nester Chik It started with the saltine cracker challenge.

As a result, teenagers could be caught up in conflicts with family members or friends.

Led by the talented Masami Nagasawa, the film is an entertaining watch, but is unlikely to excite true fans of the genre.

The object of her next heist is Lum Lau, the head of a powerful corporation in Hong Kong, and a triad leader to boot.

My favourite sci-fi movie has to be Christopher Nolan’s Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s one of my favourites because of its pure ingenuity; the plot line is wholly original, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

It was quite a task trying to juggle everything that was needed to do live reporting: we had to look around all the time to make sure that we were catching everything within the area we were covering; check social media to catch up on the latest news from everyone else; and verify anything we heard to make sure that it was real before we reported it.
