Tam first personally donated 300,000 Malaysian Ringgit (RM), after which the event organizer, Star Planet, contributed an additional 200,000 RM. The audience actively participated, and the total amount raised eventually reached 655,373 RM (approximately HK$1,228,044). To ensure full transparency regarding the use of the donations, all funds raised at the venue were verified on-site by the licensed auditing firm CCS & Co PLT.

Tam also took the opportunity to specially express his respect to the firefighters, police officers, selfless volunteers, spontaneously organized teams, and all the caring individuals who contributed to the rescue efforts. He urged everyone not only to provide financial support but, more importantly, to continue offering warmth, understanding, and companionship to the affected families and everyone around them, ensuring that care is not limited to a single moment and that love and strength are continuously passed on, accumulated, and sustained.

Opinion | HK retains its crown as world's freest economy: Open-market strengths endure and 'one country, two systems' dividend persists The Fraser Institute of Canada released its Economic Freedom of the World 2026 Annual Report on 6 October 2026. Hong Kong has once again been named the world's freest economy among 165 economies, with an overall score of 8.53. Since the Report was first published in 1996, Hong Kong has consistently ranked first—clear evidence that, whatever changes the external environment may bring, the core competitiveness of Hong Kong as a free economy continues to stand the test of time and of international assessment.

Opinion | 'Building Bridges'- How North Korea went from isolated pariah to strategic counterweight Since 2014, a "new" bridge has stood on the Yalu River between Dandong in China and Sinuiju in North Korea. This massive white spired bridge, built by Chinese engineering, was intended to deepen economic integration between the two Communist neighbours, having previously relied on the very small, Japanese Imperial-derived railway bridge known as the "Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge." The new bridge was thus to be revolutionary, yet for reasons entirely related to the North Korean side, it didn't open.
