HONG KONG (Reuters) - All schools in Hong Kong will suspend classes on Thursday due to transportation and safety reasons, the Hong Kong Education Bureau said on Wednesday.

 

The bureau made the announcement in an statement, and urged protestors to stop all violent acts.

 

Hong Kong prepared for more clashes on Wednesday as anti-government protesters paralyzed parts of the Asian financial hub for a third day, with some transport links, schools and many businesses closing after an escalation of violence.

From the above article,   'Hong Kong protesters have caused “extensive damage” to the Festival Walk shopping centre, including torching the mall’s Christmas tree'.


And "Glass panels at the mall’s entrance were smashed, and the office lobby and balustrades on various levels of the mall were also damaged, Singapore-based Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Ltd., which owns Festival Walk, said in a statement Wednesday."

And also "Shares of Mapletree North Asia Commercial fell 4.9% in early Singapore trade Wednesday to S$1.16, the lowest in 10 months."


Let's ask, what is the point of  vandalizing a shopping mall ? What on earth is the reason for doing this ? Vandalizing this shopping mall, and setting fire to the Christmas tree, is surely, nothing to do with Hong Kong's freedom. Below is a photo of the burning Christmas tree.




Yes, the protesters/rioters are creating a scary situation in Hong Kong.
