On 5 July 2019, Ma described the rioters against the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill as "rubbish".[2] On 6 October 2019, Ma was involved in a physical altercation with a group of demonstrators when she intervened rioters damaging a Bank of China branch. She was then brutally attacked by rioters and required stitches on her chin and the back of her head.[3] After being interviewed by an Australian reporter, she requested the reporter to escort her to the police for treatment, refusing first aid from the rioters saying she "doesn't trust [them] anymore."[4]
