The Hong Kong government has insisted on how safe Hong Kong is since the national security law came into force, but citizens feel differently. Netizens wondered if the national security law would have made Hong Kong safer and less chaotic.
The recent increase in crime, including armed robbery, in Hong Kong has raised concerns about public safety.
A 51-year-old man was kidnapped and murdered at Ping Yeung Old Village in Ta Kwu Ling. The victim’s body was found in a rural village just over a week later. On September 14, Hong Kong police arrested two men, his 29-year-old and his 64-year-old, surnamed Chan, on suspicion of murder.
Crime or terrorism?
Security Secretary Chris Tan Pinkun previously said Hong Kong’s overall crime rate was “stable”. However, Tang said it is still important to stay vigilant during peaceful times and prevent lone wolf crimes and regional terrorism.
Citizens suspect that the Hong Kong government only knows how to spend taxpayer money on national security, oppressing and bullying young Hong Kongers while allowing social order to deteriorate.
