Young man scolded on video says he just wants the 'laughable' saga to die down
The young man who was scolded by the infamous Bus Uncle yesterday made an appeal to the media: 'Don't bring him to see me.'
'I really do not want to see him again. I would like to call on all media workers not to bring him to see me. Don't bring him to see me please,' said Elvis 'Alvin' Ho, who was the hero of a six-minute video which has been viewed on computers millions of times in Hong Kong and overseas.
The encounter took place on the top deck of a double-decker 68X bus travelling to Yuen Long from Jordan.
The footage shows Bus Uncle shouting the young man down. Remarks from the harangue have become the talk of the town. 'I face pressure. You face pressure. Why did you provoke me?' was one comment. 'This is not solved. This is not solved,' was another.
Mr Ho said: 'I do not want to be put under the spotlight so that some people can use me to make more drama. I really hope the whole saga can die down soon.'
Mr Ho's remarks came as a Next Magazine report claimed to have identified the so-called Bus Uncle as 51-year-old Chan Yuet-tung, who made three failed bids for the chief executive post in 1997, 2002 and last year.
