       The Lam disease can't at all fulfil the fourth article of Wang Guangya's four articles. Her being Chief Executive my ass!
** 2018 June 13, 一世一香港討論區, quotee, 土地供應專責小組公眾參與報告 [Public Engagement of the Task Force on Land Supply Final PE Report]‎, 附件 4：已分析的網上媒體意見清單 [Annex 4: List of Online Media included in the analysis]:
       lam$^4$ beng$^6$ fong$^1$ waa$^6$ lin$^4$ pin$^1$ keoi$^5$ zyut$^6$ dung$^6$ jung$^6$ tou$^2$ dei$^6$ sau$^1$ wui$^4$ tiu$^4$ lai$^6$ hoeng$^3$ sei$^3$ daai$^6$ dei$^6$ caan$^2$ soeng$^1$ hoi$^1$ dou$^1$! [Jyutping]

       Similarly, on the Lennon Wall in Kowloon Bay, where a brawl broke out earlier between pro-amendment and anti-amendment radicals, there are numerous memos with vulgarities and insults, including "**** your mother, Hong Kong police dogs", "Lam disease, go die, the earlier the better", "corrupt police, may your whole family die" and "fucking **** bitch".
