Ma Zehua, the chairman of the Secolor Garden, said that the staff patrols every day. He has not seen the relevant device before and decided to call the police because of doubt. The incident led to the temporary closure of the Wong Tai Sin Temple. He said: "In fact, our land is helpless, but security is what we want to know. If we do not close, allowing good faith to enter the system is not responsible." He pointed out It has a 99-year history, and the safety of citizens and tourists is a major premise. I do not think that this "fraud bomb" is a cause of panic. It also means that the person who placed it "will cause inconvenience without consideration." He said that any promotion activities in the temple require an application. The garden will make a decision based on the nature, but he is completely unaware of the installation of the device this time.
When Shan Xinxin arrived, he learned that the temple was temporarily closed, and some people moved to the blockade outside the temple to worship, burn incense, and so on. Axi, a child, went to the Wong Tai Sin Temple with her family this morning. She originally planned to release the turtles that had been kept for 5 years and prayed for a safe family. Another Shan Xin brought her daughter to the scene this morning. She pointed out that she had not come to the temple for a long time because of the epidemic. She came here today, but was surprised by the incident. She continued to point out that she would come in later after unblocking and pray for "world peace."
