Protesters in Hong Kong remain on the streets after more than a month. But Campaigners for an end to the disruptions believe the city's residents have sent out a clear message against protesters. And it's got the evidence to prove it: a petition signed by more than 1.8 million people. On Monday afternoon, the anti-Occupy Central Alliance presented the petition to the Hong Kong SAR government.

The public's opinion on paper. Over 1.8 million of Hong Kong's residents have made it clear they want an end to disruptions, and a return to normal life.

After presenting their petition report to the Hong Kong SAR government, anti-Occupy leaders say they will arrange meetings with legislative councillors, and protest organizers.

"We will also try to arrange meetings with scholars, as well as Federations of Hong Kong students," Anti-Occupy Central Alliance spokesman Robert Chow said.

The anti-Occupy Central Alliance launched its petition on October 25th. About 1.3 million signed their name in the streets, with the remaining 500,000 doing so online. Anger at the protests was shared among residents of all ages and backgrounds.

The anti-Occupy leaders say such a popular and robust petition has made Hong Kong residents' voice of objection to the ongoing protests much louder. And it's clear the people will back the Hong Kong SAR government and police to solve the ongoing protests with further measures.

The anti-Occupy group also called on Hong Kong residents to participate in the district-council and legislative council elections in two years, in order to help with the city's long term development.
