(1) This is a total breakdown of law and order.

(2) Wonder if this is not the right time to declare "Emergency Order" - then when will be the right time?

(3) Emergency Order - prevent HK protestors from forming up through curfew - and make arrest at MTR, bus interchange, roads etc before they can form up.

(4) HK protestors can be bold, radical and violent - when they form up in large group and overwhelm police strength.

(5) Through Emergency Order - HK protestors can be arrested before they reach their form up places - and these will nip the protest movement at the bud.

(1) Emergency Order is proposed on 16 Aug 2019. (Posted on :- 16 Aug 2019 05:48PM (Updated: 16 Aug 2019 05:50PM) Ricky Lim (3) 1stly, Politicians must declare whether HK unrest - has reached a stage of total lost of control in social order - that warrant declaring of "State of Emergency".
This is a political decision - not a police decision.)

(2) Carrie Lam express she may declared Emergency Power on 28 Aug 2019. (Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has not ruled out the possibility her administration could invoke emergency powers.)

(3) Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam says she fears damaging city’s reputation further by invoking emergency powers to quell protests on 24 Sep 2019.

(4) Now 1 Oct 2019 China National Day - violence escalate many fold....

(1) There are only 2 ways for HK Govt to end the violent and protest.

(a) Give in to all the 5 demands by the HK protestors plus all future demands - surrendering HK sovereignty and governorship to the HK protestor.

(b) Or Implement more effective measures to stop the protest movement and restore law and order - invoking "State if Emergency".

Before holding National Dialogue to address:-
- Economic grievances
- Social spaces
- acceptable political freedom

(c) Come out with a Masterplan to address the Economic, Social and Political painpoints.

(2) Only a swift decisive effective measure to 1st quell unrest to restore law and order.
And 2nd step to hold National Dialogue.
And 3rd step to coin a comprehensive Masterplan to address the 3 painpoints - economic, social and political --- can then effectively stop the HK unrest.

(3) The current reactive, passive, laid back responses make matter worst.

(4) Instead bold, proactive and forward looking response can turn HK situation around as it give hope to the current desperate HK people who rely on violent to get its way.

(5) Bold, Visionary, Effective and Strong Political Leadership can make or break HK now.
Relying on police strength to quell the unrest is a 下策。

HK problem must be a political solution not a police-ing solution.

erm...what took you so long? On the night when the violent rioters smashed the Legco building, hit police with iron bars, threw petrol bombs at police and raised the Union Jack flag inside the Legco building, HK police should have opened fire with live rounds. Not indiscriminately. But at the specific individuals who were the most violent and endangering the lives of the police and Legco lawmakers/MPs..
