On 2nd November, 1973 I went to see the Traffic Supervisor Mr. Janes, queering about the wrong news announcement from the radio and the ridiculous letter saying no injury involved and the two parties already settled between each other. just simply said that was only the administrative mistake. also advised him I would see Independent Commission Against Corruption when it established because I did not trust the former Anti-corruption run by the Hong Kong Police.
On 27th February, 1974 I had sent all the relevant documents to Independent Commission Against Corruption and nothing heard from them, not even an acknowledgement receipt.

On 6th May, 1974, with the help of Mr. Topley, ex-director of Social Welfare I had a chance to speak to Independent Commission Against Corruption. When I contacted their staff Mr. Szeto Siu-cheong/J, I understood he was the ex-staff of Anti-corruption. Same as Mr. James told me, he simply said all mistakes were due to administrative. When I asked him to investigate the shopkeeper who saw something offered to the police constable from the driver's father, Mr. Szeto was reluctant to take my advise and did not give me any answer.
Referring to the second last paragraph about the failure to inform us, I want to emphasize that my father did give his name and home address to the ambulance-man before he was taken into the ambulance. This was confirmed by the ambulance-man in his statement report. On 20th August, 1974 I went to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr. Chen. She told me my father was concious all the time from the scene to the Causulty Department. His condition only deteriorated when he was transferred to the ward. According to the medical legal procedure, his next of kin must sign a form to enable the doctors to carry out operations for the patient. Since none of us be informed, he was just lying on the bed and waited to die. Dr. Chen also told me that for every hospital there will be a police constable on duty and his role is to take down message from the incoming ambulance and passes it to the relevant police station, from which they will advise the next of kin. Thus the police should not lay any complains on the Hospital, as Dr. Chen stated. The failure to inform us is purely due to negligence of death of others. When my father passed away after 10 hours in the Hospital, none of us was at the bedside. As a result, my family affairs were all in trouble and his business was closing down. We are still in financial difficulties.-
Finally I would like you to reconsider all the facts I gave from above and offer us help from any sources.
