DON'T BE DUPED BY BOGUS LABOUR OFFICERS
Factory proprietors were today warned against bogus Labour Department
officers who sought money for advertisements in a departmental publication,
"Guide to Workmen's Compensation Legislation".
The Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Mr. David Lin, said that in
the past few weeks two proprietors had complained to the department that a
man claiming to be a member of the Labour Department had sought money for
that purpose.
"No Labour Department officer is authorised to solicit money for
any purpose whatsoever", he stressed.
Mr. Lin advised that any proprietor who was approached by anyone
purporting to be a member of the Labour Department should immediately report
the matter either to the nearest police station or to the Senior Labour Officer
(Industry) at Tel. No. 3-688842.
The "Guide to Workmen's Compensation Legislation", he pointed out,
was available free of charge at the offices of the Labour Department.
