Yesterday was a tragic day for Hongkongers, one can never imagine such incident would ever happen in the city.

It once again alarms the Government of Hong Kong to concern about dilapidated structures. But sadly, very sadly, again, this concern is raised at the expense of HUMAN LIVES

3. South Asian (Indian, Pakistani)

Also, some Filipino domestic helpers rent some flats for public holiday meeting.

Also some prostitutes rent / buy it for prostitution houses.
