"CLUBS" OR "SCHOOLS"? As the public are openly in- vited to enter these premises; and as there are exceedingly strong doubts whether there are any members of these "clubs," or if there exists even any records, the claim that' these mah-jongg "schools" are "kul lok pos" (clubs) might be challenged by the Police in a Court of Law.

If these "schools" are permitted to exist, what is there to stop other people from starting a poker school, or any other gambling es tablishment under the title of "club"?
