@Timjuh Because they are a former commonwealth state. Theoretically speaking they aren't fully under Chinese government. Hong Kong is a special administration. Therefore it keeps some of its things (i.e. the noticeable commonwealth march). The march song has changed though. It used to be R.A.F. March past to that.
@AmersfoortTristan I think they were influenced by the British style because Hong Kong used to be under the control of the British for a long time. Pretty interesting, eh? :]
Visited HK 7 years ago. Recently talking with a friend toured HK. All agree people in HK are rude and unfriendly. Especailly to none white tourist. This is another example of identity issue of HKese: who are you? Chinese or Brits? Make up your mind? I won't call it multi-culturalism. Still what is HK Air Cadets?
Speaking of being rude. Your condescending view and comment towards the people of an entire city aside, has it occurred to you that it might in fact be your own intellectual downfall that you need to squeeze Hong Kong squarely into either Chinese or Brits but nothing else in between. For years HK has been a regional hub in many things, precisely because it's at the crossroad amongst and between many things. Regardless of your narrow notion or definition of what HK ought to be, the place and its people do not and will not correspond with your unilateral coercion of a "either or" identity, whether you like it or not. The Japanese culture has elements that aren't distinctively or uniquely or natively Japanese, and Canada has elements that are between the US, French, and Britain. Entities like that have always existed. You think it's cultural indecisiveness in their part, that says more about your ignorance than those entities themselves. I for one would like to know what you're from to be so culturally pure. In case you're not aware, Singaporeans are pretty passive aggressive and xenophobic to outsiders as well on social media.
The March i believe is Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman [that is, Chairman Mao]
@piperbasher roger that

And when you compare Singapore to the UK, we're fast too! :C
Multi-culturalism still indeed works in these certain characteristics.

Sucks to have to do Commonwealth-style drill in the first place. Couple it with the bad music and the fast cadence...ugh
