The million dollar question is who authorised to conduct the book fair when health authorities were against conducting mass public events .. was it a Sir Kiu Law ?

No meetings, protests and public gatherings. But book fairs. What a ridiculous government of high standard with a 2/3rd power. The country is heading for disaster.

The Book Fair was to enhance the image of the Govt. In the midst of the Covid.
