I wonder if the bubble passenger will be using the same lounge "The Wing" as those transit passengers. If so, it has totally defeated the purpose of separating transit passengers from bubble passengers.

does it mean need to use hk passport?

The HK ID is not considered as a travel document.
It seems to create a loophole that a permanent resident with a passport that is not HK does not need to be vaccinated.
What will be the exact requirement at check-in is an interesting question.
I guess the agent will ask the question: Are you a Hong Kong resident?

anyways i would say
1) those who dont want vaccine arent going to get a jab just to travel, and
2) those who need to travel will fly regardless of quarantine.
i personally am not interested to get stuck in singapore if unknown case spikes. look at NZ-Perth bubble that was shut in first 4 days due to one case in perth

But how many will go just for leisure?
4 tests in total cost up to 3000 hkd + round trip ticket at least 3000 hkd
waste the first day in hotel to wait for test result
waste half day in sg to test for covid before coming back to HK

Enjoy your holiday with your family
