4 arrested for disorderly conduct

Police arrested four people after noticing that some individuals were displaying protest items that contained seditious wordings, chanting and committing unlawful acts in the vicinity of Causeway Bay since the afternoon of June 3.   Police announced the arrests in a statement and explained that upon investigation, they arrested the four individuals on suspicion of disorder in public places and doing an act or acts with seditious intention.   Additionally, four other people suspected of breaching public peace were brought to the police station for further investigation.   The force stressed that they are highly concerned about people attempting to incite and provoke others to commit illegal acts that endanger national security, public order and public safety.   Apart from stepping up patrols and enhancing intelligence-gathering, Police added that they will closely monitor the situation of various districts and strive to prevent and combat crimes. http://dlvr.it/Sq8xN8

Voucher collection deadline extended

The Government announced today that it will extend the deadline for Octopus card users to tap their cards for collecting consumption vouchers to September 30, 2022.   The original arrangement requires people who collect the vouchers via Octopus to tap their cards to collect the vouchers within three months after the disbursement date of each instalment as the uncollected voucher value will become invalid after the deadline.   Hence, those who were disbursed with the first vouchers on August 1 via Octopus cards must tap their cards to collect the vouchers by October 31.   As a small number of people have not yet tapped their cards to collect the vouchers and in view of the same situation possibly occurring again, the collection period will be extended to September 30, 2022 regardless of batches and instalments.   The arrangement aims to spare the public the need to calculate the collection periods for vouchers disbursed at different times.   This change will not affect the other existing arrangements for disbursing vouchers via Octopus to eligible people, the Government added.   Click here or call 18 5000 to enquire about the Consumption Voucher Scheme.
