Chapter 865: 855 Hong Kong Affairs (Timeline Adjustment)

The next morning, Hong Kong ATV News aired on time.

After the ATV News opening sequence, the report began:

"Good morning, viewers. We have a piece of breaking news..."

"Regarding the robbery at the Da Wang Fa Gold Shop in Tuen Mun yesterday morning around 10:00 AM, following an all-out investigation by the police and relevant departments, the suspects were officially identified at 2:00 PM yesterday."

"The five suspects are all Vietnamese boat people. The ringleader, named Nguyen Luc, once worked as a pyrotechnician at a TVB film set and previously served in the Vietnamese military. The other four accomplices also have backgrounds as Vietnamese boat people, and some of them also have military service histories."

"After screening, it was discovered that after seizing the gold, this group of five suspects fled Hong Kong by boat immediately."

"Upon receiving the intelligence, the police quickly contacted the Hainan police and successfully apprehended all the suspects at 3:00 AM."

On screen,

there was footage of Nguyen Luc and the others being detained.

Then, at 10:00 AM,

the police held a press conference. In addition to reporting more detailed information (with a certain degree of redaction and modification), they added a segment to flex their muscles.

Commissioner Huang Bingyao of the Police Force spoke generously:

"Hong Kong possesses a comprehensive crime-tracking mechanism. From the occurrence of the case to the identification of the suspects and their cross-provincial capture, it took only 17 hours. This fully demonstrates that any criminal, regardless of what kind of wishful thinking they harbor, who attempts to escape after committing a crime in Hong Kong, will ultimately be brought to justice!"

Finally, he took the opportunity to strike a blow at the Vietnamese:

"The nature of this robbery was extremely vile, resulting in injuries to two employees, seriously disrupting Hong Kong's social order, and causing panic among citizens..."

"This case is a blatant provocation against Hong Kong law!"

"To ensure the safety of citizens, the police will subsequently strengthen the screening and control of Vietnamese people, send all Vietnamese boat people to settlement camps, and resolutely prevent such vicious cases from happening again."

What is a settlement camp?

Naturally, it is a camp with no freedom, surrounded everywhere by barbed wire and iron mesh.

Originally, no one managed the Vietnamese, and they lived scattered throughout Hong Kong.

The government found it difficult to introduce tough policies, but now that Nguyen Luc's gang has caused trouble, very good, they have given me an excuse.

Heavy-handed strike!

Next is the vigorous territory-wide screening, with all Vietnamese people being rounded up into settlement camps.

However, one must combine hardness with softness; give a stick, then give a sweet date.

In the afternoon,

the Immigration Department held another press conference.

The Director of the Immigration Department stood on the stage:

"To further standardize the management of Vietnamese boat people and give the Vietnamese who are truly willing to integrate into Hong Kong one last chance, the Immigration Department and Five Star Property have decided to organize the final round of the 'Permanent Resident Examination' in three months. Specific examination rules will be notified separately."

In fact, the admission criteria have already been decided, and both conditions must be met: admit 10% according to the ratio, and the score must be passing or above.

"This examination is the last opportunity for Vietnamese boat people to obtain Hong Kong permanent resident status. Vietnamese boat people who fail the examination or do not participate will be repatriated to their place of origin in accordance with the law. Please have relevant personnel prepare in advance and pay attention to the examination details subsequently released by the Immigration Department."

If the previous news was a tough stance that would incite the anger of the Vietnamese,

then this news is to divide the Vietnamese.

Vietnam is really too poor, and Hong Kong has welfare; no one will think about returning to Vietnam.

Therefore, as long as there is a chance to stay in Hong Kong, enjoy the prosperity and welfare, who the hell would go back to Vietnam to eat dirt?

Therefore,

the effect of the appeasement policy is very obvious.

Over the following two weeks, a large number of Vietnamese were sent to the settlement camps and then sealed off.

Food and various daily necessities were delivered every day.

In the past, when they came to Hong Kong, it was the same; items were distributed every day. They were in a fixed place and had no entertainment activities, so there was a baby boom.

There were also some Vietnamese who wanted to hide, but they were quickly found and dragged in.

There were also some Vietnamese who wanted to buy guns to do business, but the arms buyers in Hong Kong were all cunning old foxes; they took the money, didn't want to give the goods, and finally called the police to arrest people.

One by one, the restless Vietnamese were caught and then repatriated.

Why not arrange for Stanley Prison?

Wouldn't that be letting them off too easily?

Next, the 18th Winter Olympic Games were held in Nagano, Japan. ===== CHAPTER 866 =====
