The ongoing tension in Hong Kong between pro-democracy group and HKSAR government over the future administration of Hong Kong is partly sustained by Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Union(HKCTU), an independent union movement in Hong Kong.

Singaporeans are not aware that the Secretary-General of HKCTU, Mr Lee Cheuk-Yan, once led a protest in Singapore Consulate in Hong Kong in December 2012. That protest demanded Singapore government for the immediate release of the SMRT bus drivers who were involved in the strike in November 2012.

Lee is now being accused of being funded by International Labor Solidarity, an organization under National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It is open knowledge that NED receives its funding from U.S Department of State.

Jolovan Wham managed to instigate Panasonic factory workers to gather for a sit-in protest outside Ministry of Manpower in 2012, and he was actively involved in “fighting” for the rights of SMRT bus drivers who were involved in the illegal protest.

Why is Lee, a Hong Konger and a politician interested in SMRT bus strikes?

What is the connection between Wham and Lee and SDP and the State Department of United States?
