It looks like the same pagoda, but not likely the same policeman or same day when I was standing in front of this advertisement.  A car going towards TST ferry stopped at the line and was hit from behind by another car.  The polceman walked up to the first car (I wonder why not the second car) and said to the driver "Why are you giving me this problem?"  (actual Cantonese: Dim guy nay bay de gum garr yay lay garl?)
