(Without Precaution: An interesting thing about Hong Kong is that it is a target-oriented, modern city. Cities which are target-oriented, or economy-oriented to be exact, falling relatively behind in civil rights are common in this part of the world. So, there is seldom any question in, say, the Chinese provinces for an infrastructure project be steamrolled before an environmental impact assessment is completed. A modern city, in the contrary, runs under the guidance of laws. Want to build a Jackie Chan Museum?* Sorry, you have to go through the formalities and there is no jumping the steps. Hong Kong is an epitome of both. The law is upheld for big things whereas achieving the target is paramount for small things. A case in point is shown by the regular cleaning of the air-con components to protect people’s well-being which, sarcastically, was done by the cleaner freely without any precautionary measure like a safety belt around his waist)
Probably no one feels that an accident could happen or the cleaning man may fall down.
Don’t sneer at them cos we could be equally unwise.
Google users, have you ever felt that the Google system could fall down? Just in case the Blogspot system falls down, what will happen to you?
For those who like me uses Blogspot to write a blog, it would be catastrophic. Data could be lost. The worst of all is that the effort spent on the blog could be evapourated.
So, it is a good idea to back up data from our Blogspot site regularly. A proven way to get data back from the claws of Blogspot is to do it by Blogger Backup.
If we don’t back up our data from the blog and think that no accident will happen, we are equally unwise.
(It is unbelievably to me that the cleaner was not required to take any safety precaution despite the fact that the cleaning was done for the Spaghetti House, which is a local big chain food store, situated in a commercial building in Tsim Sha Tsui, the very heart of Hong Kong’s tourist ghetto)
* Recently, Jackie Chan, the international Kungfu movie star, vented on the Hong Kong government for not having speeded up the formalities for a plan to build a museum in his name. He threated, as quoted in the newspaper, to sell the plan to the Singaporean government.
