effort to create false evidence against the victim and to obstruct the course of justice by inducing him to fall into a plot planned for this purpose, with the knowledge and connivance of the "anti-corruption officers". There can be no other

nations for such conspiracies than bribery and corruption which are the major causes for these malpractices/irregularities including investigation hoaxes, per- secution of victims, distortion and suppression of facts etc.

The decision whether the police are to uphold the rule of law the discipline of members of the force, to respect the Government and taxpayers or to connive at crimes, corruption, protection racketeering as well as the abovementioned malpractices/ irregularities, rests with your goodself.

Dear Mr Commissioner! The police with a strength of over 15,000 personnel, cannot say that they have no knowledge of the existence and activities of the 100 plus swindle -rackets operating on both sides of the harbour in Hong Kong for 1-2 decades after World War 11; they cannot deny responsibility for the crimes committed and being committed by the swindlers and the harm and losses, monetary or otherwise, done to victims in all walks of life.

It is more than clear that in the absence of conspiracy and protection racketeering, the criminals involved in 'Lo Chin Kuk' or 'Tin Sin Kuk' swindles rackets in Hong Kòng cannot have established themselves as a "profession" and have their own "pro- fessional rules" and "slangs" according to the information supplied to me by past victims, lawyers and police detectives, directly and indirectly, after the incident As reported to you in my letter dated 7th Aug. 1973 serving detective constable

a telephone no. 3-687843 supplied by the criminals and triads.

In the above circumstances, I think I am at least entitled to an apology from the police.

To clean up all these mess which have occurred with your subordinates, please use your influence to remedy the situation from the angle of the laws of a civilised country a the moral standards of civilised peoples or according to your conscience. as a private citizen.

Should there be no remedial action and/or response to this letter before 1st January 1974 •

it will be assumed that the police have not had any regret about the events that have befallen upon me, that they are in complete agreement with the contents of my reports and accompanying papers, that they connive at the existence of 'Lo Chin Kuk' or 'Tin Sin Kuk' swindle rackets and the protection ring behind them, as well as the calpractices/irregularities that have been perpetrated in connexion with the so-called "investigations".

Thanking you for your kind attention,
