Message from the Mayor of Hong Kong Island
Katrina Kaif was born in Hong Kong on July 16, 1984. One of eight siblings, Kaif was born to an Indian Kashmiri Father and British mother, was brought up in Hawaii, and started modelling at the age of 14, when she was approached for a jewellery campaign. After that, Katrina Kaif continued modeling in London. She is dating actor Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan. He proposed to her on July 16 and she said Yes to him! Katrina Kaif moved to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments. However, filmmakers were at first hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic shortcomings. Films that did feature her usually had her voice dubbed over by a native speaker of the film's language.
Welcome to HONG KONG ISLAND (also known as Xianggangdao)
Hong Kong Island is an island in the southern part of Hong Kong, China. The island was captured by the United Kingdom in the early 1840s, and the City of Victoria was then established on the island. The Central area on the island is the historical, political and economic centre of Hong Kong. The northern coast of the island forms the southern shore of the Victoria Harbour, which is largely responsible for the development of Hong Kong due to its deep waters favored by large trade ships.
The island is home to many of the most famous sights in Hong Kong, such as "The Peak", Ocean Park, many historical sites and various large shopping centres. The mountain ranges across the island are also famous for hiking.
The northern part of Hong Kong Island together with Kowloon forms the core urban area of Hong Kong. Their combined area is approximately 88.3 km2 (34.5 sq. mi.) and their combined population (that of the northern part of the island and of Kowloon) is approximately 3,156,500.
The island is also sometimes locally referred to as "the Island side" (in specific reference to the south side of the Victoria Harbour).
Hong Kong's financial markets are to remain shut until further notice Wednesday owing to inclement weather after the city hoisted a tropical storm warning. Trading on securities and derivatives markets could resume in the afternoon session if the local authorities downgrade the tropical storm warning before noon local time, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. said in a statement. The Hong Kong Observatory hoisted the No. 8 storm signal late Tuesday evening as the Severe Tropical Storm Fengshen approached from the Philippines, where as a typhoon, it sank a ferry, killing about 700 passengers.
Hong Kong star Fiona Sit was hit by a man with a water bottle on Feb 23 when she was attending a charity event.
The attacker was alleged to have thrown the bottle towards Fiona, which hit her right face and another worker at the event. Both of the victim didn’t suffer any major injuries, although Fiona’s face was a bit swollen after the incident.

The attacker claimed that it was an accident, but there are videos and eyewitnesses that suggest otherwise. The reason behind the attack is still unclear.
The attack has raised fear among Hong Kong artists about their personal safety in public area, as another female artist Angela Tong was slapped on her face just about a month ago.
Fiona Sit fronted a signing event in Taipei yesterday to promote her debut Mandarin album, It’s My Day. To thank fans for their support, Fiona sang songs from her album at the event. Her record company, Warner Music organised a competition for Fiona's fans, where the winner received a small gift and was allowed to join Fiona in a duet. The male fan performed with Fiona with plenty of emotion and resembled Khalil Fong (方大同) in the music video for Travelling Quartet.
Fiona will be returning to Hong Kong next week to prepare for more promotional events for her album. However, she emphasised that she will definitely reunite with her fans in Taiwan soon.
During her visit to Taiwan, Fiona has shown improvement on her Mandarin dialect and was able to naturally chat with others. Like many people visiting Taiwan, food has been the major appeal and Fiona has also caught on to this. She claimed that she might have put on a little weight and really will miss the food after she leaves Taiwan. She added that she will also miss the natural spas.
Recently, the press has speculated about Fiona and her rumoured boyfriends, Jaycee Chan and Khalil. When asked to clarify as to which one of the men was her boyfriend, Fiona replied reluctantly, saying that both men are her good friends. Reporters were unsatisfied with this reply and continued to question Fiona. As she started to leave the venue, Fiona added, "If I was going out with one of them, we would not show up together as a group. Men are not this generous about relationships."
