Large crowd gathers in Hong Kong to protest against noisy middle-aged women ‘dama’ singers from mainland China shattering peace of Tuen Mun Park

Nearly 2,000 Hongkongers took to the streets of Tuen Mun on Saturday to protest, not over the extradition bill this time but against middle-aged women from mainland China who have been upsetting residents with their singing and dancing in the neighbourhood park.

One dama, or “big mama”, as the singers are disparagingly known, had to retreat and hide in a public toilet at Tuen Mun Park for more than two hours while police stood between the woman and the protesters.
