NSD police issue warning over computer game; Barbra Streisand starts singing.
Jimmy O. Yang to appear in Macao.
Tropical storm to skirt around Hong Kong.
And the Hong Kong football team celebrates a late win in front of record crowd at Kai Tak.
All this and the rest of Wednesday’s news that matters 👇
1. On Tuesday evening the National Security Department police issued a press release warning about a mobile gaming app, stating that “those who have downloaded the application may be regarded as in possession of a publication that has a seditious intention”.
Firstly, here is the press release in full.
At the time of the press release being issued, the game had already been withdrawn by Google for other reasons, but was still available in the Apple App Store.
By Wednesday morning it was gone from the HK store (but still available internationally).
As is always the case in instances like these, the Streisand Effect immediately kicked in.
2. The tropical disturbance loitering in the South China Sea has Hong Kong on T1, with a small chance of T3 on Friday, but apart from a few gusts and rain, it shouldn’t bother us too much.
As it stands, the Observatory will assess the need of issuing the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 on Friday.
The mushy storm is known as Wutip.
Apparently there is a tropical storm in there.
3. 2025’s most sought after tickets moves to Macao in July, with Jimmy O. Yang set to perform thrice.
4. FinSec Paul Chan says it’s natural for mainland companies to list in Hong Kong, but attracting non-mainland companies is also a goal.
5. And finally in sport, Tuesday night was massive for Hong Kong football, with the men’s side taking on India in front of a record crowd at Kai Tak Stadium.
Look, those of you who know me know I’m no fan of soccer, and to be brutally honest, the first 91 minutes made me wonder why I had to sit through all that. But then it got interesting!
