HAWKERS WARNED ABOUT IMPOSTORS
The Housing Department today advised illegal hawkers in the
Yau Tong area to beware of a group of people who claimed to be able
to get hawker stalls for them.
It is believed that some hawkers have already paid sums of
money to these people in the hope of getting a hawker stall.
"A report should be made to the Police if anyone should use
this as a pretext to solicit money," a spokesman for the Housing Department
urged.
He explained that it was impossible to take in more hawkers on
the estate as tenants are already adequately served by the modular market
and temporary bazaar, which have a total of more than 170 stalls. ·
Meanwhile, Housing Department staff continued their routine
tidy-up operation today to ensure that the estate is tidy and clean.
