Mainland China tutorial centre undeterred by warning over Hong Kong school programmes
A mainland Chinese tutorial centre has pressed on with promoting a programme costing nearly HK$200,000 (US$25,480) a year that it claims can help pupils attend a Hong Kong subsidised secondary school with accommodation and 'intensive training', despite warnings from authorities, the Post has found. A Post reporter posing as a parent was sent marketing materials on Wednesday, a day after Hong Kong's Education Bureau demanded a report from Caritas St Joseph Secondary School over joint promotion efforts with the New Oriental centre. A consultant from the mainland-based tutorial centre sent a brochure for its 'Bauhinia ThriveCamp Programme' featuring a large section dedicated to introducing the secondary school in Tsing Yi. The subsidised school is among the few in the city that provide student accommodation. According to the bureau, the school offers free tuition from Form One to Six. The agent said New Oriental would arrange 'targeted training' for students who signed up for the programme to help them secure a place in Hong Kong secondary schools. He placed particular emphasis on Caritas St Joseph Secondary School, which he said provided accommodation, adding that students had a higher chance of being admitted there.

Hong Kong police seize HK$45 million of suspected drugs from 2 cases on same day
Hong Kong police have seized HK$45 million (US$5.8 million) worth of suspected cocaine and cannabis buds in two separate cases in one day, with traffickers hiding the drugs under floorboards and inside furniture. Senior Inspector Conrad Chan Yuen-fun, of the narcotics bureau's operations division, said on Saturday that officers had arrested three men in two separate busts in Yuen Long and Tsing Yi the previous day, confiscating a total of 105kg (231lbs) of suspected cocaine and cannabis buds. 'After our preliminary investigations, we believe that syndicates used corrugated iron sheds in remote locations as storage units, putting the drugs in hidden compartments to increase the difficulty for law enforcement,' Chan said. In the first operation, officers stopped a private car outside Shek Tong Tsuen in Yuen Long and discovered 11 packs of suspected cocaine, each weighing 1kg, and arrested the male driver. Officers then searched a corrugated iron shed the driver had rented and found 29 more 1kg blocks of suspected cocaine hidden under the floorboards. 'We have discovered 29 more packs of suspected cocaine with the same packaging hidden inside underground compartments, which were covered up with wooden planks and screwed shut,' Chan said.
