My Hong Kong
Forget ‘Hello Hong Kong’, are we ‘Heartless Hong Kong’ after elderly woman hawker debacle?
- The case of a 90-year-old licensed street hawker devastated at having her cart confiscated by food and hygiene officers risks putting the city in a bad light
- That’s not fair to our mostly hospitable and welcoming people, and the city certainly has its heart in the right place. We just need to open it up more often

A previous version of this column incorrectly stated that the police confiscated Chan Tak-ching’s cart, but it was in fact taken away by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, which takes enforcement action against hawking activities in Hong Kong.
