Hong Kong illustrator's art fair stall closes after police inspect drawings

A Hong Kong artist's stall at an illustration art fair has closed after police officers reportedly received complaints, photographed the displayed drawings, and passed them to national security police. The illustrator, known by the artist name Ah Keung, said in a now-deleted Instagram post that police officers took photos of their booth at the Hong Kong Illustration and Creative Show, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, on Saturday. 'The police dutifully took photos of all the artworks at the stall and passed them to the national security department for record,' the illustrator said. According to Ah Keung's post, the police arrived at the stall at around 5pm on Saturday, saying they had received a report from an 'enthusiastic citizen.' The police also told local media that they received a report that day and sent officers to the scene to investigate. They added that they would conduct follow-up investigations based on the evidence, actual circumstances, and details of the case, in accordance with the law. HKFP has reached out to the organiser and the police for comment. 'I still like Hong Kong' Ah Keung also said on Instagram that Saturday's incident was 'unrelated to the organiser' and apologised for the trouble faced by the organiser and the exhibitors in neighbouring stalls. 'Finally, thank you to everyone who likes my drawings. I still like Hong Kong, but I hope this place will allow me to keep drawing,' the artist said. The Instagram post shared a black-and-white photo of an empty booth marked with the stall number D25 and the exhibitor's name in Chinese, 'Keung Kee.' A search for the exhibitor's name and the stall number yields no results on the fair's exhibitor list. In recent years, Ah Keung has produced 'The Hong Kong Times,' hand-drawn, handwritten 'newspaper pages' covering local news, including jailed barrister-activist Chow Hang-tung's legal challenge against female inmates' trousers-only rules in April. The illustrations are available for sale on AsOne, a store owned by ex-district councillor Derek Chu. Independent media outlet HK Feature's online shop also has a description of The Hong Kong Times on its website but does not list the products for sale. 'Anyone who has seen [my] newspaper would know that I just copy news from the major news outlets without any personal interpretation, and share local films and funny anecdotes, with no secessionist or seditious intention,' Ah Keung said. 'I'm just a person who likes history and drawing,' the artist added.

M*A*S*H actress Loretta Swit dies aged 87

M*A*S*H actress Loretta Swit dies aged 87 Swit (centre), a mainstay of one of the most successful and acclaimed series in US television history, died at her home in New York City. Photo: AFP Loretta Swit, the Emmy Award-winning actress who played no-nonsense US Army combat nurse Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the hit TV series "M*A*S*H" for more than a decade, died on Friday at the age of 87. Swit, a mainstay of one of the most successful and acclaimed series in US television history, died at her home in New York City from what was suspected to be natural causes, her publicist, Harlan Boll, said. Swit earned two best supporting actress Emmys and 10 nominations for her role as "Hot Lips," the lusty, tough but vulnerable, patriotic Army career nurse in the series that ran from 1972-1983. As the only regular female character in the groundbreaking show set in the fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War of the 1950s, "Hot Lips" endured the insults, pranks and practical jokes of the fun-loving male surgeons. The show's cast also included Alan Alda, Wayne Rogers, McLean Stevenson, Larry Linville, Mike Farrell, Harry Morgan, Gary Burghoff, David Ogden Stiers and Jamie Farr. Swit defined her role by playing a strong, determined, independent woman, who had input into the development and storyline of her character, including her split from her married lover Major Frank Burns, hilariously played by Linville, and her own wedding and divorce. She appeared in nearly all of the more than 250 episodes and the series finale, which was the most watched episode of any TV series in history when the show ended in 1983. (Reuters)

Hong Kong parody musician Sunny Lam axes concert after ‘careful consideration'

Hong Kong parody singer-songwriter Sunny Lam, known for his satires on current affairs, has called off an upcoming concert after 'careful consideration.' Lam, who has 151,000 followers on Facebook and 122,000 followers on Instagram, announced on Friday that his two-day show – translated into English as 'Sunny Lam Birthday Concert in Hong Kong' – would be cancelled. In a post shared on his social media accounts, Lam said the decision to axe the concert, scheduled for Sunday and Monday, was made 'after careful consideration.' Those who purchased tickets would be contacted within seven working days for a refund, the musician added. 'We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment this cancellation may cause and kindly ask for your understanding,' his post read. 'Thank you for your understanding and support. We will continue to work hard and look forward to seeing you again in the near future.' The concert was set to take place at Lau Bak Freespace Livehouse inside the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD). Lam originally planned to host one show on Sunday only but added a second show after tickets sold out within a day in early May. Some netizens said the cancellation was 'expected,' while others urged Lam and his team to consider moving the concert online instead. According to Lam's YouTube channel, the musician began sharing songs he wrote on the video-sharing platform in November 2009. Many of his works are parody songs about political and social events in Hong Kong. His most popular hit, with 1.3 million views, was a song published in August 2022 about lawmaker Eunice Yung and her father-in-law Elmer Yuen, who has a HK$1 million bounty on his head for alleged national security offences. The song, based on the 1991 Cantonese hit 'Queen's Rd. East,' depicts the conflicts between Yung, a pro-establishment politician, and self-exiled activist Yuen, who stands accused of colluding with foreign forces and committing subversion by requesting sanctions on Hong Kong government officials and judicial officers. Yuen, who left Hong Kong in June 2020 before the national security law was enacted, was also said to have launched a 'referendum' to form 'The Hong Kong Parliament,' which Hong Kong authorities say aims to achieve self-determination and subvert state power. In recent months, Lam has also written songs about the US tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, the controversial ports deal by Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing's conglomerate CK Hutchison, and Kai Tak Arena's decision in March to kick dozens of snooker fans out of the facility before a match at the World Grand Prix concluded. Past cancellations Musicians in Hong Kong have encountered venue cancellations for their shows. In December, Cantopop singer Pong Nan, known for his support for the 2019 extradition bill protests, announced he would scrap his concert due to a venue cancellation by the WKCD. The WKCD told HKFP at the time that it had no comment on the hiring arrangements for any individual events. In May last year, activist-singer Denise Ho announced that she would move her performance online after being unable to secure a live venue. Police showed up during the online gig. The singer, who was arrested in 2021 in connection with the Stand News sedition case, said it was very difficult for her to do a 'normal show' in an 'abnormal place.'
