Pop idol Fiona Sit Hoi-kei was hit by a bottle thrown during a Mong Kok charity event yesterday while fellow singer Gillian Chung Yan-tung of pop duo Twins failed to show up at a performance at the Dragon Centre in Sham Shui Po, amid reports net users might boycott the star.
Sit was hit with a flying bottle of herbal tea as she collected money from the audience at the Mong Kok event. Police were called to the second-floor venue at Langham Place after a man hurled a bottle at the performer at about 3.30pm. The man, surnamed Lin, 27, was detained by security guards and later arrested.
"The bottle hit a staff member of the event organisers and then bounced onto Fiona's head as she was asking members of the public to donate money," said Peter Wong Chi-bun, Sit's manager.
"Her forehead is swollen. It was very chaotic."
Sit reportedly broke into tears after she was struck and was taken to Kwong Wah Hospital from where she was discharged after treatment.
She then went to Mong Kok police station to assist police inquiries.
Mr Wong declined to comment on whether the attack was related to recent public dissatisfaction with pop stars arising out of the celebrity nude photos scandal.
"It was just an unfortunate incident," Mr Wong said. "I don't think there will be further attacks and usually people are well-behaved." He said he had no plans to hire personal bodyguards for Sit.
Meanwhile, a spokesman at Chung's management company, Emperor Entertainment Group, said Chung had developed a fever and had been unable to perform at the Dragon Centre.
Chung, one of the celebrities involved in the picture scandal, was scheduled to appear to promote Olympic equestrian events with her Twins partner, Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin, who said Chung just needed to rest.
One fan who identified himself as Jacky, said: "I am a bit disappointed to see Chung's absence today."
He said he felt upset about the possible boycott action. "I have heard about it, I think these net users are too discriminating. The sex-photo saga is not something which affects national security, it is an adult matter. They should put themselves in other people's shoes."
An hour before the performance started, hundreds of people were packed into the mall but nobody was seen voicing disapproval of Chung. However, security had been obviously tightened with metal fences isolating the stage. Fifteen security guards and a couple of uniformed policemen were also stationed in the mall during the performance.
Baptist University social work lecturer Bottle Shiu Ka-chun said a close eye should be kept on web users who might want to transfer the anger they expressed about their idols on cyberspace to real action.
He said the situation had become a "witch-hunt" with people verbally attacking Chung even after actor/singer Edison Chen Koon-hei, the man featured in the photos, made his public apology on Thursday.
"Once it's started, it'll continue to hurt more people," Mr Shui said. "And people's focus is getting less clear. Who's going to be the next victim?"
It is understood Chen was helping the police Commercial Crime Bureau yesterday with their investigations into the case.
a good arm on the man.........

It first hit a female staff member at the event and bounced off before hitting the so-called Canto 'star'; I seemed to have missed the front-page reports on the fate of the original victim...?

The original victim bore the full brunt of the bottle attack. Well, so much for equality of treatment by the press of victuims of a crime.

Why are you surprised when HK's police force show exactly the same level of bias and preferential treatment based on the wealth/fame of alleged victims? If it had been your personal 1,300+ porno pic and video collection which had been nicked and leaked on the cyberweb, do you honestly think they'd have given a crap?

1,300 porn pictures of normal people is what porntube n stuff is for. Normal people are not sensationalist news. Normal people are supposed to buy news of stars. The celebrity bull s**t phenomenon is not exclusive to HK.
Anarchist governments eh?
