Rupert Murdoch

1. We have been informed privately that Murdoch is going to stay in Hong Kong for three to six months from January 1994. He has decided that he needs to be on the spot to get to grips with the operation of Star TV and the business prospects here and in China. He will be parking his private plane at Kai Tak airport and commuting to the US and other places as necessary.

2. Grateful if you would pass the above information to those interested at your end.
