PW8 Chia Chi-hung affirmed in Punti, states:

I appear today under subpoena. I have previously made

statement to officer of ICAC.

Mr. Sceats gives indemnity to witness.)

In

I do not wish to disclose my address orally. I do not want others to

know. I am at present employed. I elect to write down my occupation. (Application for address and occupation of witness to be written granted.) Witness hands in both address and occupation. I have no aliases. 1970 -1971 I worked as a barber in the Mongkok area. I worked in that occupation for many years. I did not undertake other employment during that period. I have worked as a barber in Mongkok for 8 years. After that I became a follower of Ma Hak Shing. Ma Hak Shing is the uncle of my wife. At that time he was 2 Detective Station Sergeant.

He had engaged another person to collect squeeze money and I had assisted him. (Mr. Hampton objects to this evidence being given as being inadmissible.) (Court: This evidence is admitted.) At that time I received very little renumeration $700 per month during the time I was in Kowloon City. I moved over to Causeway Bay in about 1972. I am not very sure. At the time when I moved over to Causeway Bay at that time, Uncle Luk and Ah Lau moved over also. These are all I know. When I moved over to Causeway Bay I went out to collect squeeze money. I collected in Shaukiwan Causeway Bay area was under the control of Ah Lau. When I collected the money, usually I handed the money to th Lan at the club in Hung Fook Building. The flat is Flat S, 7/F. I can roughly remember some of the places I went to collect money from. There was a big stall near a filling station in Shaukiwan. I do not know the name

of the street. I cannot remember off hand the name of the proprietor of the stall. The stall is a gambling stall for people to play dice and pai kaau. I go there every day to collect money. I collected about $600 per day from that stall but I cannot remember the exact figure. There is another stall further down Shaukiwan away from the
