In the Administration’s view, abolition of the common law offences of maintenance and champerty would involve broader legal and policy concerns, including those of recovery agents and litigation funding companies.

Once you convince the luk yi that you are my son and they let you into America, then you can go back to being who you really are.

1999, Sarah Glasscock, Read-Aloud Plays: Immigration (overall work in English):

The law at that time was to bar Chinese from coming and if there's any way that they can bar Chinese they would do it. Liver fluke worm is one thing, alleged paper is another thing, and then people talk about luk yee. Well, what is luk yee? Those are the immigration officials that come to arrest Chinese and after the luk yee come, we don't see the Chinese person anymore. That's why we always call, "Luk yee! Luk yee!" It's not because of police department. It's the immigration officials that wears the green garments and come to arrest us. Those are the luk yee … Those are the disclosures we used when we were young.

從看電影到購物、還有品嚐美食，現在的百貨公司真多元化經營，有吃有玩還可滿足購物慾，三個願望一次滿足，比健達出奇蛋還貼心。

From movies to shopping, as well as tasting gourmet, department stores nowadays have diversified operations. Eating, playing, and fulfilling shopping desires, satisfying three wishes in one go, they're even more caring than Kinder Surprises.

如果順便同中央傾埋參選嘅事，咪一次過滿足佢三個願望！睇嚟呢次北京之行，仲出奇過出奇蛋呀～

If she [Carrie Lam] conveniently also discusses along the way with the Central Government on her running for Chief Executive, doesn't it fulfils her three wishes in one go?! It seems that this visit to Beijing, is more surprising than Kinder Surprises!

牛、干貝、雞、蝦四種食材被阿明師賦予酸、辣、苦、香四種風格，創造有如出奇蛋的絕妙味覺體驗。

Blend of 批鬥／批斗 (pīdòu, “denounce”) + 座 (zuò, “seat”)
Originated in Hong Kong, where the controversy arose on who could sit on priority seats. Netizens compared harsh hostile reactions during struggle sessions in the Cultural Revolution.

2018 April 28, 鄧穎琳, “【關愛座】網絡公審潮被譏變「批鬥座」 有意見促廢除”, in 《香港01》 [HK01]:

Even some patients who sit in priority seats can become targets of cyberbullying. In the end, some criticised that priority seats have become "struggle seats".

Hong Kong is not the only place where priority seats have become "struggle seats". In South Korea, an elderly person kicked a man was sitting in a priority seat, and a 66-year-old was arrested for assaulting a 25-year-old woman who was sitting in a priority seat as well.

2018 June 2, 關愛座變批鬥座引發爭拗 應否取消市民意見不一, 陳嘉欣 (actor), 電視廣播有限公司 [Television Broadcasts Limited], via 《無綫新聞》 [TVB News]:

The original intention of priority seats was to show love and care, but recently, quarrels and brawls have occurred. With priority seats becoming "struggle seats", some people suggest cancelling them, while others while others advocate for keeping them.
