 Ah Nong ( <unk> , J : <unk> <unk> , P : <unk> <unk> ) , a popular literary figure and artist in Hong Kong , believed that the incident highlighted the apathy of the common Hong Kong people . He emphasised that during the heated exchange between Chan and Ho , not a single bystander came to Ho 's aid . He recalled an incident a few years back where he confronted a man smoking on the lower deck of a bus and was scolded for the rest of the journey . He said it was useless to complain to the bus driver who would not bother to waste his time , let alone the other passengers . Ah Nong argued that in such a society , a person can be accused of wrongdoing despite good intentions .
