But Irene Pun Hau-yin denied in Kowloon City Court on Wednesday that she knew she was aiding murder suspect Alex Kwong Kong-chi.
The defendant said she was suspicious of the identity of the man seeking to rent a yacht with the help of Pun's friend, identified only as Ivy. Pun added that Ivy had approached her on February 24, 2023.
'But being suspicious doesn't mean someone is a criminal. He might simply have had some difficulties,' she said.
Pun added that she had become close friends with Ivy between 2015 and 2016, adding that she had sometimes stayed at Ivy's residence in Taipa, Macau. Ivy has been named in case details but is not a defendant in the trial.

The court heard that Ivy had asked Pun to connect her with the other defendant, Lam Shun, who was a yacht rental agent at the time.

Hongkongers hit hardest by scams compared to those in mainland China and Taiwan, study finds
Hongkongers are more prone to fall victim to scammers than people in mainland China and Taiwan, and those who do suffer greater losses, a study has found. Researchers at the City University of Hong Kong said on Friday they had polled about 1,500 people in each of the three territories – Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan – via online questionnaires between March and May this year regarding their experience with scams. Results showed that Hong Kong had the highest percentage of victims at 6.8 per cent, compared to 3.7 per cent in mainland China and 6.1 per cent in Taiwan, according to local media reports. Among scam victims, 54.9 per cent in Hong Kong suffered losses greater than HK$100,000, compared with only 18.9 per cent in Taiwan and 39.7 per cent in mainland China who sustained similar losses. The discrepancy could be explained by the higher average income in Hong Kong compared to the other two places, said Professor Christine Huang, who led the study, during a Friday press conference. But further analysis was needed, she added. Educated Hongkongers more vulnerable The study also found that, in Hong Kong, people with a university degree or above were more likely to succumb to scams, while women were prone to suffer greater losses. Of those who engaged with scammers, 35.4 per cent in Hong Kong reported the incident to police, compared to over 50 per cent in Taiwan and mainland China, the researchers said. While impersonation scams targeting officials or acquaintances were most common in Hong Kong and Taiwan, investment-related 'opportunistic' scams caused the greatest financial losses. Meanwhile, in mainland China, consumption scams involving online shopping and e-commerce were the predominant type of fraud. Huang said the results highlighted the need for specific anti-scam strategies that target people in different age groups and with various educational levels. 'Victims [of scams] do not only come from disadvantaged groups as in our conventional understanding,' HK01 quoted Huang as saying in Cantonese. It required concerted effort between the government, news media, enterprises, and civil groups to promote anti-scam awareness, she added. Hong Kong has seen a sharp increase in scams-related crime figures in recent years. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of scams reported to police almost tripled. In the first five months of this year, authorities logged over 17,000 scam cases, accounting for almost half of overall crime, according to Police Commissioner Joe Chow.

Five arrested over alleged elderly care subsidy scam
Five arrested over alleged elderly care subsidy scam The ICAC's principal investigator Matthew Chang says a registered nurse and a registered occupational therapist are believed to be the masterminds of the scheme. Photo: RTHK The ICAC on Thursday said five people, aged between 27 and 57, have been arrested for allegedly defrauding the government of subsidy funds. The alleged scam first came to light when the Social Welfare Department (SWD) received a report last year that its community care service voucher scheme was being targeted by fraudsters. The scheme gives eligible elderly people vouchers to buy community care services, including day and home care, from recognised service providers. Following the report, the matter was referred to the ICAC, which arrested two men and three women last month. The anti-graft body's principal investigator, Matthew Chang, said a registered nurse and a registered occupational therapist – who operate a SWD-recognised private care agency – are believed to be the masterminds behind the alleged scam. 'The arrestees had made use of their healthcare professions, background and connections to attract members of the public to arrange for the elderly people to join the scheme and make false representations to the Social Welfare Department,' Chang said. 'The false representations include falsely claiming that the care agencies have provided home care and support service to the elderly people. The agencies, in fact, did not provide any service to the elderly at home.' The other three suspects are employees of one of the care agencies. All five have since been released on bail. The two care agencies provided services to about 20 to 200 elderly persons each month and received about HK$18 million in subsidy funding since mid-2023 until the arrests, Chang noted. However, as not all subsidy claims are fraudulent, the exact amount of the alleged fraudulent claims remains under investigation, he added. The ICAC also didn't rule out the possibility of further arrests. Jenny Yan, assistant director at the department, said the two service providers are still operating. 'Subject to the investigation result of ICAC, the SWD will consider terminating the service agreement with the service providers concerned,' she said. 'If there are any subsidies released to non-entitled bodies, the SWD shall take appropriate action to recover all the overpayments.' Yan added the department has also contacted individuals receiving services at the agencies to ensure that they have received the services they need.

US secretly embeds trackers in AI chip shipments to catch smuggling to China, sources say
US authorities have secretly placed location tracking devices in targeted shipments of advanced chips they see as being at high risk of illegal diversion to China, according to two people with direct knowledge of the previously unreported law enforcement tactic. The measures aimed to detect artificial intelligence chips being diverted to destinations that were under US export restrictions, and applied only to select shipments under investigation, the people said. They show the lengths to which the US has gone to enforce its chip export restrictions on China, even as the Trump administration has sought to relax some curbs on Chinese access to advanced American semiconductors. The trackers could help build cases against people and companies who profit from violating US export controls, said the people who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. Location trackers are a decades-old investigative tool used by US law enforcement agencies to track products subject to export restrictions, such as aeroplane parts. They had been used to combat the illegal diversion of semiconductors in recent years, one source said. US trackers have been found in shipments of Nvidia chips, sources say. /TNS
