BOGUS LABOUR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
The Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Mr. David Lin Hou-fu,
today warned the proprietors of factories to be on their guard against
people claiming to be Labour Department officers.
In the past few weeks several proprietors had complained that
a man who said he was a Labour Department official had sought money for
advertisements in a departmental publication.
Mr. Lin said: "No Labour Department officer is authorized to
solicit money for any purpose whatsoever and no publication issued by
the Department carries any advertisement."
He urged any proprietor who is asked for money by anyone
purporting to be a member of the Labour Department to report the matter
immediately, either to the nearest police station or to the Senior
Labour Officer (Industry), telephone number K-688842.
