A Star Is Born

A young man is making headlines in Hong Kong for his rousing debate/argument at local TV "meet-the-politicians-public-forum" show.

I once considered him for a trust job. I didn't give him a job. Looks like I did him a favour when he appears to be destined for greatness in politics.

Google the name 任亮憲 aka 馬草泥 or now the urban legend 維園阿哥.

Here's what his employer bio says:
