SO KOON CHIU further states:-
We have been stopped on four or five occasions by
Japanese motor boats in the vicinity of CHEK WAN and TAI TSAN.
On each occasion we have been stopped by Japanese motor boat,
the crew of the motor boat have taken a small portion of the
cargo. As far as I know a report was never made to the
Police in Hong Kong regarding us being stopped by the
Japanese.
This is the first occasion that the Japanese motor
boat has given us cargo to dispose of in Hong Kong. We have
on several occasions been fired on by the Japanese motor
boats.
