It depends if the SID/APP is taken from the database, checked twice and NOT modified... Otherwise rubbish in rubbish out. This one looks like a turn at the conditional WPT at 400AAL direct to PORCH, so at a guess someone deleted PORPA and the rest is history! HKG ATC do not give any speed/WPT instructions until established on a southerly track although they might give a speed control clearance with about 45° to go. Looking at the track on '24, I would suggest that they weren't even on 123.8 (departure) before they were over the highest ground and it would be this controller who would issue speed and ALT clearances. Perhaps a touch of controller fatigue might be in the frame as they are usually very quick to bring errant visitors back to the line!
