Number of people I spoke to are attending #HongKong #Rugby7s for the 1st time. They say the new #Kowloon stadium is really comfortable with a/c when retractable roof is closed. Over weekend, roof will be opened during games. Loads of F&B points as well inside #HSBCSVNSHKG

#MyanmarEarthquake yet another tragedy the people don't need as nation remains under #militarycoup since 2021. Thousands of lives already lost due to #coup. Now thousands more killed by #earthquake. #Military incapable of handling crisis & unable to provide the necessary aid
