 Support The DrudgeReport; Visit Our Advertisers  Hong Kong uses undercover agents to enforce hygiene FRI May 29 2003 00:35:36 ET Hong Kong (dpa) - Hong Kong has sent out undercover agents for the first time to catch spitters and litterbugs as part of an ambitious programme to make Hong Kong a model hygiene city in the aftermath of SARS, a news report said Friday. The government on Thursday also sent 18,000 warning letters to restaurants, food factories, canteens and wet market vendors ordering them to clean up or face tough enforcement action. Officials said a team of about 45 plainclothes officers was dispatched to public transportation areas and wet markets. On Thursday, undercover agents gave out 25 littering fines and six for spitting, the newspaper said. Currently Hong Kong has about 4,000 uniformed officers who also enforce rules against putting up illegal posters and failing to pick up pet waste, the South China Morning Post reported. |
