    Racial profiling. They see a white face and think we are actually interested. How come they never hassle the mainland tourists?

    Because they don't sell the shiny suits the mainlanders demand

    Well that's just too bad for the OP. So Alan, what are you going to do about it?
    Correct - in addition to pushing suits many of the guys obviously have a sideline in drugs and it annoys me that not much appears to be done about it.

    What am I going to do about it?

    Nothing really, posting on here has served its purpose for me in highlighitng the problem.

    Nothing ever gets solved by bitching about it on geo.
    If its such an issue to you then tell the police what's happening. If you can't be bothered to do that then quit whining about it.

    But don't you know. The PoPo reads the geo forums, and they follow up any matters where people are not happy with stuff.

    I heard different. I heard the quality is quite decent - at least as good or better as you would find in UK for instance...

    Quite the opposite actually. An SCMP journalist got in touch right after my post, which is exactly what I was hoping for. He's going down to TST to investigate and hopefully write a story.

    I already did tell the police - as I stated earlier in the thread. If you can't be bothered to read the thread properly, maybe it's better not to bitch on it yourself, Jimbo.

    Nice one, Alan.

    I hope they publish a decent story about this and give it the public attention that it deserves.


    Hopefully it encourages an effective reaction from the authorities, or at the very least, the Hong Kong public...

    I wont hold my breath, though... lol
