One of the key organizers of the so-called "referendum" on a general strike plan said today that they are postponing the voting to June 20 as a tropical storm may be headed towards Hong Kong this weekend, RTHK reports. The plan was to hold what they call a “referendum” on Sunday. But Isaac Cheng from the Secondary Schools Student Action Platform said the polling event will take place on June 20 instead. Cheng, speaking behalf of the organizers, said that the referendum will not be canceled and they won't back down despite the central and Hong Kong governments' criticism over this exercise. SAR officials earlier warned that any civil servants who took part in a strike would be investigated if they were suspected of breaching the Civil Service Code.
