EUROPEAN IN ROW OVER $4 FARE
A EUROPEAN woman early today touched off a massive police hunt for a supposed knife-wielding pak pal driver, including road blocks in Clearwater Bay Road. She claimed she was robbed of her handbag, but at midmorning she changed her story, and police began to believe they had been sent on a "wild goose chase.” The woman caught a pak pai in Tsimshatsui for her home in Clearwater Bay Road.
When she got home, a police source said, she gave the driver only $4. He objected, and the two argued.
Sped off
Somebody heard the row and called police, and the pak pai man sped into the night, leaving the woman to explain to police.
She told them at first she had been robbed by the driver at knife- point of her handbag.

A spokesman said: “Our purpose is to flush out potential candidates who we hope will speak up for civil servants and fight for their rights.'
"Civil servants are forbidden at present to speak publicly because they come under the Government Establishment Regulations,
"We feel it is very unfair to us because we are unable to do anything for the public even though we want to.”
The spokesman also strongly criticised the 10 elected Councillors for not speaking out on behalf of civil servants.
