Disclosure of Interest: My old man applied for one lot, worth around HK$5K.
David vs. Goliath. Little old lady vs. HKSAR Govt.
With TCH’s Touch of Shit™, it doesn’t matter how many civil servants, solicitors, merchant bankers, etc. are thrown in, things just crumble.
All the accusations such as “against public interest”, “abuse of legal system” etc. that got thrown around in the last few days weren’t worth saying: 50M half a million applications versus over 4 times as many public housing residents, and one really can’t fault the small and weak for abusing(?!) the legal system (it’s more like beating the system).
It’s even better than watching “America’s Next Top Model”. My old man thinks the price of ~HK$1,000, which wasn’t his to begin with, is a worthy cost for justice served.
