I have to say that it really doesn't matter to me if I'm on radar to 4-5 miles.

I have had unhelpful controling and great controling in HKG.
I'm also embarrassed by colleagues and other pilots requesting WX avoidence on Approach control when the controller is obviously overworked/stretched and there isn't a cloud over 10,000' in the area!
I'm always happy to hear HKG controlers they mostly rank well with european airports and beat the USA.
If I have a peeve its having to wait/delay for freighters to land on 07R when 07L is for landings for everyone else.
p.s. I don't think I can spell.
