The crowd comprised of reporters, camera men, ordinary folks, fans blocking the street like a packed sardine can. These thousand people been waiting right from the early morning. She finally arrived in a car. The hell just broke loose. When she stepped out, supporters cried out words of encouragement, photographers snapping their shutters. Among the chaos, some people in the crowd started to boo.
She is an actress/singer/performer/celebrity in Hong Kong. Not a top superstar, not yet and most probably will never be one. This is her first public appearance after a long period in exile. Public opinion had shamed her into hiding.
What crime did she commit?
She merely made love /have sex with her partner. An act that everyone of us do. Our parents do it, (otherwise we will not be born) We do it. Our children do it. Our pets do it too. How sinful is that?
The only difference is that her activity was filmed and leaked into the internet circuit by a computer service man. Not out of her personal choice. Should I say she is a victim? How much responsibility she has to take?
Like it or not, the filming with our digital cameras and mobile phones has become part of our daily life. Recording a traffic incident, a street dispute, my first bungee jump etc, just to name a few. A simple check in U-tube will result in millions of home made sexual acts. What are those stupefaction about? And why can’t she do it?
From the booing to sending of threatening mails, some people really do not realise that they are the one who should be incriminated for invading other’s privacy. It is okay when they themselves have sex. When other do it, they pass judgement. Our society is so full of hypocrites.
