Surely she’s got at least one publicist by now?
Vivian Kong has made her first faux pas running for the 2025 LegCo election, originally posting on Facebook that she was running for the Election Committee sector (which is the functional constituency that the former member for Tourism FC Perry Yiu is now running in).

Suharto being declared a national hero in Indonesia really reminds of Marcos being reinterred in the Heroes' Cemetery. Autocrats and authoritarians are all a bad cliche, all of them, but they draw from the same playbook

The problem is there are plenty of MAGA that will willfully suffer if they think others are getting punished, I always go back to LBJ quote about making the lowest of the white man believe they are better than the black man and they will let you pick their pocket.

Although the report did mention that the majority of farmers voted for Tr*mp, those interviewed needed to be asked, “What do you say to people who say you voted for this?”
