Man jailed for fake banknotes
*
Hong Kong Police
 

A 24-year-old man has been jailed 20 months after pleading guilty to two charges related to counterfeit banknotes at the District Court.

On January 24, the man paid $22 with a RMB$100 banknote for a taxi trip from Hung Hom to To Kwa Wan. Having found the banknote to be of inferior quality, the driver reported the case to Police and the man was arrested.

When the driver took over the taxi from the night shift driver two days later, he found 20 RMB$100 banknotes under the rear passenger seat. These notes were surrendered to Police, and all were confirmed to be counterfeit.

The man claimed he found the fake banknotes in the taxi and denied knowing they were counterfeit. He was charged on January 27 and pleaded guilty yesterday.


 
Heart Attacks and drinking Warm Water PDF Print E-mail

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.


For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.


A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.


A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & Tell a friend. It could save a life. So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

Online Theft (Customer Service Advisory) PDF Print E-mail

There has been a marked rise in incidents of online theft, both here and abroad, in which some unscrupulous individuals were able to access the accounts of bank depositors and make unauthorized fund transfers to their own accounts.

Based on the results of investigations of these incidents, the online thieves were able to obtain the passwords of the victims through these means:

1. Spyware. This is an attachment in an email which when you open installs a program in your computer that captures your log on ID and password.

2. Bogus Website. This is a fake website set up on the web which looks like the actual website of your bank. When you log on to this site and performs your transaction, it captures all the personal and financial data that you enter.

3. Public/Internet cafe terminals. Because no one actually monitors usage in an internet cafe, online thieves can easily install a spyware or a key logger on a computer that captures your log on ID and password when you use the terminal.

 

To safeguard yourself against online theft, please take the following precautions:

1. Change your password frequently.

2. Never open e-mails or attachments sent by someone you do not know

3. Avoid performing online transactions on public terminals such as those in internet cafes.

4. Install only software that you get from trusted sources.

5. Always check for the presence of a 'padlock' symbol on the login page; before proceeding double click on the padlok symbol to see if there is a UCPB certificate which would indicate that this is the authentic UCPB website. Do this when you're transacting in your other banks as well.

6. Never click on a UCPB link or URL sent by someone via e-mail.

7. Protect your PC with a virus-scanner and a personal firewall.

Low Turnout of Voters In Hong Kong PDF Print E-mail

voters

So far, with about a week to go only around six percent have voted. The main reason is apathy. The persons I have spoken to that didn't bother to cast their votes said one of these:


(1). Pare-pareho lang naman ang mga iyan. (The candidates are all the same.)
(2). Next time na lang pag di ako busy. (When I'm not busy.)
(3). Di ko nga alam kung sino ang mga kandidato. (I don't even know who are running!)
(4). Mahal pamasahe. (It's expensive to go.)
(5). Kapag nasa Pilipinas na ako. (I'll vote when I'm back to the Philippines.){/tab}
