The Hong Kong government is your mum

The Hong Kong government is actually the same as an overprotective neurotic mother.

While the Chinese government is more like a scary authoritarian father who would force you to go wash your hands to prevent avian flu and then print a newspaper report about how it was a seamless success, or the Australian government which is like a drunk uncle, the Hong Kong government just has a passive aggressive way of leaving nagging signs everywhere to tell you how to live.

For example, 'Be careful when you seek summer employment!'

'Be careful you don't get the flu!' There's another sign i see on the train that says something like 'eat well, get adequate sleep and rest.'

'Wash your hands, constantly!'

It seems the main aim is to instil a constant sense of fear in people. Terrible things are lurking everywhere...bird flu, drugs, bad summer jobs, china etc

'Don't take drugs, they're bad for you!'

'Be considerate of others!'

I think the government should save money by condensing all its messages into one poster that says;

-don't go outside

-study hard

-don't answer the phone

-eat healthily

-don't take drugs

-wash your hands

-don't eat chickens

-be quiet
