I te 13 o Tihema 2014, ko Lai tetahi o nga kaiarahi pro-temokaraiti i mauheretia i te wa o te whakakore i te waahi o te Admiralty o te kaupapa a te Umbrella Movement.
He aha? I te ra i muri mai, i kii a Lai ka wehe ia hei upoko mo Next Media "ki te whakapau i te wa ki tona whanau me te whai i ana hiahia whaiaro".
