When Typhoon Molave hit Hong Kong in July 2009, TVB Jade reporter Poon Wai Lam became a viral sensation for braving the intense winds in Tsim Sha Tsui to deliver a live weather update.⁠ ⁠ As the typhoon lashed the city, Hongkongers carried on with their day, unfazed. The now-iconic footage shows Poon leaning into the wind while an expat casually strolls by with a beer in hand, giving him a thumbs-up.⁠ ⁠ The video has since sparked countless memes, including comparisons to Michael Jackson’s dance moves. It’s a reminder of Hong Kong’s unique resilience—rain, shine, or typhoon.⁠ ⁠ 📽️Video by: Gabe Jung⁠ 🤳Click our linkinbio to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #hongkong #typhoonmolave #weather #michaeljackson #heehee #wind #news #fyp #nextshark
