【明報專訊】The Fire Services Department's blue mannequin-like promotional character "Anyone" (「任何仁」) is aimed at delivering life-saving information to the public. How about "Anyone II" disguised by Eason?

“ Eason on line“

“ Eason: "Anyone II" 's gonna go viral too! Woo-hoo! ”

“ Eason: I also know about fire safety! See? ”

“ Dr Panda: "Anyone" is to save lives in an emergency, but not to waste public resources like you!”

■English highway﹕-like

"-like" is used after a noun to say that something is similar to or typical of the noun. A hyphen is almost always used in British usage. But in American usage, the suffix is sometimes joined with the noun without a hyphen.

e.g. What is the ball-like structure on top of that building?
