The Humble Petition of Wong Tsung Hin and Chan Ping Nam of the Luk King division sheweth that your petitioners feel real pleasure in yielding true submission and welcoming the Imperial troops.
Your petitioners have always been law-abiding people and were well acquainted with the Convention leasing the territory with which they were perfectly. But bad characters from the larger districts of the territory misled people by inventing rumours and availed themselves of the opportunity to stir up the people to disorder so as to resist the Imperial troops. Your petitioners' villages being small and powerless could do nothing but remain silent. Now however that the troops have arrived your petitioners are saved from their great danger which is a source of unbounded joy to them. They therefore now humbly approach your tribunal and humbly pray that clemency may be extended to them.
The inhabitants of the various villages will readily acquiesce in whatever sites may be hereafter selected by the British Government, for the purpose of erecting Government Offices, Police Stations, etc.
And Your Petitioners will ever pray.
The following is a list of the villages in the Luk King Division.
1 Upper Luk King
2 Lower Luk King

5 Pung Rang
