Truth be told the average Hong Kong citizen struggles with the English language as much as they do Mandarin... Most of the people I went to school with barely can chain together the words needed to form a sentence, let alone comprehend the English language itself.
I don't know if language is the main cause or a contributing factor.

In Singapore the inverse is true. We are better at English and struggle with mandarin. But we don't fondly cherished the British colonial ruled days like HK does.

A recent report of British aircraft carrier making a port call to Singapore invited overwhelming negative comments and boos on Straits Times FB though SG govt openly welcome them.

This b.. Ch and her cohorts should have just been arrested by China and actually sent their behinds to jail. This person is now claiming that Hong Kong is Not CHINA and has allied itself to the ETIM terrorists and separatists.

Pretty much your poster child for poor English skills Joey Siu.
Born in the US, sounds like a street hawker. Speaking english, but still has English subtitles...
This is not bad for her, but as you can see, she is reading off a teleprompter. From her DW interview, it shows her truly loose command of English. Don't forget she is also a grad student.
If she was just some average HK person with an accent, it wouldn't be so bad... However this is (supposedly) a highly-educated person. IMO, she is actually worse at English than a lot of people from older and poorer generations.

Hong Kong Customs adopts Chinese-style foot drill for passing-out parade at the Hong Kong Customs College on Tuesday, breaking new ground in the passing-out parades of the Hong Kong disciplined services.

Naise. And about time too.

My absolute fave part of the Chinese drill manual is the way they launch the flag during flag raising. I can watch that part on an endless loop. <3
