#Opinion by 潘小濤 | “This is a psywar – a battle of wills. Having temporarily decided not to press Apple Daily to vanish into thin air in a ruthless manner, the authorities keep putting forward rhetoric and making fake moves to coerce Next Digital’s management and staff into giving in.”

"這是心理戰,是一場意志的較量。既然暫時不用強力手段逼《蘋果》消失,就不斷出口術、做假動作,逼《蘋果》管理層及員工就範。管理層跪低固然好,即使員工人心散渙跳船,他們也是成功的。"

vanish into thin air 在 黃之鋒 Joshua Wong Facebook 的最佳解答
Ignoring domestic and global concerns, Beijing announced the drafted national security law that casts even more doubts. The law erodes Hong Kong’s common law jurisdictions as local courts are NOT allowed to interpret the law once disputes arise. Local courts are also NOT allowed to give a milder interpretation of the offence to protect human rights. The interpretation power is exclusively assigned to Beijing’s top legislature Standing Committee of the NPC.
It means the law only allows “human rights with Chinese characteristics”. Beijing completely ignores the concerns raised by Bar Association about how the new law can abide by international standards like ICCPR when only Beijing, the country with the poorest human rights record, can interpret the law and human rights protections.
For judges, CCP is playing tricks. In contrast to current practices, judges are required to be assigned, not by senior judges, by Chief Executive (who is a puppet regime appointed by Beijing, and you know the result). While revealing Beijing’s hostility towards local judges, the new arrangement implies political considerations and loyalty can supersede and erode judicial independence. Probably Carrie Lam can pick judges that praise knife attackers for “noble sentiment” to take charge of the cases.
Despite a new committee on Hong Kong's side, China will also set up a new office in Hong Kong and plays an even more vital role in the implementation. Instead of working on equal footing, China’s office can “monitor, supervise, coordinate and support Hong Kong Government, “collect intelligence” and “handle national security-related cases”. In other words, Hong Kong’s office works under direct command of China’s office.
Your personal information can also be sent to China, since the new body will share information (with ill-defined scopes) with Hong Kong Police. Without checks and balances, Beijing requires police and courts “cooperate with new China’s office”.
While the law claims Beijing will intervene “in specific circumstances”, this loosely defined term is highly subject to China’s political needs. For cases like the two Canadians prosecuted in retaliation for Huawei executive’s arrest, they are probably beyond the capacity of Government and put under CCP’s direct jurisdiction. Under wolf warrior diplomacy, the result is entirely foreseeable.
Don’t forget, once Beijing intervenes, offenders can be sent to Mainland China for trials and prisons. All these so-called “human rights protections” will just vanish into thin air. Being one of the prime targets, I will probably be subject to secret trial, black jails, televised confession and tortures. Therefore, I call upon the world to stand with Hong Kong and urge China to withdraw this evil law.

【匹夫有責】OUR DUTY TO UPHOLD
(English writing below)
小時候,家裡遇難,錢不夠用,於是有些學費和上學零用錢是新加坡政府資助我的。
現在長大了,國家有難,依然是政府給我們口罩,還給大家「零用錢」,助人民度過危機。
今天領到口罩時,有種歷史重演的感覺。
在新加坡,我們很多人經歷過2003年非典型、2009年H1N1、多年的印尼煙霧,最嚴重時是2015年,空氣污染指數在2015年10月20日飆到417。我連我家對面的組屋都看不到~
按常理來說,有了這些天災人禍的經歷,我們應該未雨綢繆。能力允許時,每個人都該累積至少六個月的口罩存貨,以備萬一。
但我們大多數的人都沒有。
我們只是希望不要再發生,可這想法是個妄念,因為天災人禍不會因為你的希望而自動消失。
只有我們的政府靜悄悄地在籌備。
可能有些人認為錢可以花在更好玩的地方,反正政府會照顧我們。所以慈母多敗兒這句話,並不是沒有道理。
今年二月份時,我向一位老闆提議製造口罩,以合理價錢售賣給本地人,也算是善業。當時,他認為沒必要,中國逐漸復工,兩個月後供應量就會恢復正常,因此無法賺什麼錢。
老闆,你看錯了,你口中的兩個月後,就是現在的四月。全球依然口罩短缺。不怪你不相信我,只是⋯⋯
新加坡為什麼多方面能夠卓越,不只是因為我們的地理位置佔了優勢,而是先驅們為人民的精神累積了不少福德,所以才能前人種樹,後人乘涼。
一個只看數字不看人的老闆,必定在自己的人生裡,會有眾叛親離的遭遇。

When I was a kid, my family had a lot of financial difficulties. Hence, some of my school fees and schooling expenses were paid by Singapore government.
Fast forward 30 years, I am all grown up. My country is now facing an unprecedented catastrophe. Yet it is still the government who gives us masks to use and “pocket money” to help us tide over this difficult period.
When I collected my mask today, there was a sense of déjà vu. It felt like history was repeating itself.
In Singapore, many of us would have experienced SARS in 2003, H1N1 in 2009 and many years of haze from Indonesia. The most serious bout of haze was in 2015. The PSI shot to 417 on 20 October 2015. I couldn’t even see the block of flats opposite mine.
Based on good common sense, after experiencing disasters on such a scale, the common man should have prepared for a rainy day. If finances permit, every one of us should accumulate at least 6 months of masks, just in case disaster strikes again.
But most of us didn’t. We only hope it will not happen again. Yet such hope is a delusional thought because disasters will not vanish into the thin air because of mere hope.
Only our government prepares itself in the background.
Maybe some people think that their money can be better spent on more fun stuff, because the government will take care of us anyway. So there is some truth in the Chinese saying that a loving mother often leads to a good-for-nothing son.
In February this year, I proposed to a boss to manufacture masks and sell at reasonable prices locally. It would be an act of virtue.
He disagreed because China was recovering slowly and he presumed manufacturing volumes would resume normal in a couple of months. There would be little to profit from.
Boss, you got it wrong. It is April now, two months after your prediction and the world is facing mask shortage more than ever.
I do not blame you for not trusting me, but you have to realise this.
Singapore can enjoy excellence and prosperity in so many areas not just because of our strategic geographical location, but also because our pioneer government had always been on a “for the people” modus operani.
This has accumulated much virtues and blessedness hence like the Chinese saying says, we are reaping the benefits from the hard work of our forefathers.
It takes a lot of good fortune to be a boss for you control the incomes of many households. Hence, if you are a boss that only looks at numbers, and not the people, you are bound to experience betrayal and loneliness in your personal life.
