Hong Kong healthcare professionals among 5 arrested over elderly services fraud
Hong Kong's anti-corruption agency has arrested five people, including two healthcare professionals, for allegedly defrauding up to millions in government subsidies for elderly community services through fake visit records and sharing funds with seniors' family members. Matthew Chang Chor-ming, principal investigator from the Independent Commission Against Corruption's (ICAC) operations department, revealed on Thursday that last month's arrests included a registered nurse and an occupational therapist who masterminded a plan to defraud the Community Care Service Voucher Scheme for the Elderly. 'We have discovered people with criminal intent using their role as medical professionals to defraud government subsidies by exploiting residents who were unfamiliar with the scheme or manipulating their greed, depriving some elderly people from at-home care services they were entitled to,' he said. The ICAC arrested three women and two men, aged between 27 and 57, last month. Three of the arrestees worked at a private care agency established by the registered nurse. All five are currently out on bail. The agency began investigating the case following a referral from the Social Welfare Department, which received a complaint alleging fraud last year. The voucher scheme enables elderly residents to directly purchase various care services, ranging from day care centre attendance to at-home services such as rehabilitation and catering.

According to the Philippine state-run broadcaster People's Television Network (PTV), a Cessna Caravan operated by the coastguard was performing a 'maritime domain awareness flight' when the alleged incident occurred, involving what appeared to be an Su-30 On-board footage posted by PTV on social media appeared to show the Chinese jet making a turn at a higher altitude than the Cessna with multiple missiles visible, signalling it was on a combat-capable mission. The Russian-made Su-30 is a multirole fighter, mainly used for long-range interception, strike and air superiority missions. A PTV reporter on board the Cessna Caravan said the jet tailed the single-propeller coastguard plane for about 20 minutes and allegedly conducted 'dangerous manoeuvres' at close proximity, an estimated '200 to 500 feet (30 to 150 metres)' away. Meanwhile, People's Liberation Army Navy ships in the area repeatedly issued radio challenges during the incident, according to the report, and a communication from a US Navy ship was also heard.
