If you're interested in knowing the follow-up action after the student demonstration...
The school administration hastily put together a dialogue session to reach a resolution. Even as this entry is being churned out, they are still engaged in deliberation (something I learnt from my ethics module hur) and dialogue.
If you ask me, I actually salute the school administration for their prompt reaction to the student's demands. It took them only 4 days to organise this whole session and they're so open about it! Seriously, in Singapore's context, the ringleaders would have been caught and executed in the dark. Okay, I'm exaggerating.
At least WKWSCI had an open discussion after the chronicle incident.
I find Hong Kong more open to different opinions and also more open to discussion. Despite the fact that they only can elect 50% of their legislative council, the people are more vocal about the issues that surround them, (as compared to singapore bo chap attitudes or just a selected few vested parties) and the fact that they actively participate in such discussions show how much more democratic and concerned they are.
But the fact that they speak in rapid cantonese means I can't follow their disucssion so for all I know, they're just sprouting crap. Hur.
Still, it's a generalisation since I'm always stuck here in HKBU. Things may be different elsewhere, somewhere.
