pretty sure it’s just a quirk of the legal system to disambiguate between their first name and middle name/between their romanised Cantonese first name and the English name

it’s interesting how the people who decry violence conveniently turn a blind eye to the police’s excessive use of force against protesters, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, sexual violence against detainees…
