In recent days, Hong Kong has seen multiple instances of rat sightings. A post on Threads highlighted a concerning situation in Qingyi Plaza on October 31, around 11:30 PM during Halloween. The poster, identified asThreads@englanddaddy, reported seeing two rats near a food storage area in a store within the mall. The rats were observed standing on egg cups, with several egg containers, canned goods, and metal containers nearby. Another image captured a more expansive view of the scene, showing the rats moving around near the cups and cans, with a cold air fan in the background.

Earlier, a video circulated showing a rat freely roaming an outlet counter in the YoHO Town shopping center in Yuen Long, with tableware, food containers, and drinks placed nearby. Despite the presence of employees, the rat was not detected. The rat jumped to the floor and quickly fled under a table, as captured by a customer, raising serious concerns about hygiene.
