ON the first week of my arrival in Hong Kong, my predecessor and I went to the launch of a documentary programme for an international television channel. 

The ceremony to introduce the programme was held at the podium of a shopping complex in Tsim Sa Tsui. It was supposed to be a simple affair but my colleague C.K. Lim cautioned it would be anything but simple.
