i read with interest with regard to the Economist article on the row between HK-ers and PRCs..
tt the editors found it of significance to report it..

cuz from a Singaporean point of view, it is no surprise really..
essentially HK & SG are areas heavily influenced by e west hence most ppl, esp e younger generations are pretty much westernised so cfm there is culture clash..
just like how Sg ppl like to complain about e uncivilised behaviour of PRCs, Indian nationals etc

& HK is jus like SG, suffering from overcrowding so e pent up anger is certainly there..

but i must say im a little taken aback by e wordings used as i think its overboard..
i feel that no matter how displeased/angry a person is, name calling shd be e last resort as it has e most damaging consequence
& e editors of e newspaper allow such wording to be published and distributed nationwide...
freedom of speech or abuse of freedom??
