Protests split HK entertainment world 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersHONG KONG – The anti-government protests that have roiled Hong Kong for four months have also split the city’s influential entertainment community, with stars who weigh in ran the risk of alienating fans on either side of the often-bitter divide. Veteran actor and singer Alan Tam has openly backed the Hong Kong police, attending a pro-police rally in June. When he was unable to get a table at a crowded Hong Kong restaurant earlier this month and left instead of waiting, some customers clapped, according to a report in the Ming Pao newspaper. Macau-born singer, TV personality and film star Maria Cordero, affectionately called Fat Mama by her fans, has supported the Hong Kong police and government.
