An editing error in Michael Chugani's Public Eye column on page C2 on Wednesday wrongly tagged Hong Kong as a cockroach. The criticism should have been aimed at Peking University professor Kong Qingdong who last week referred to Hong Kong people as 'dogs'. We apologise for the error.

The story headlined 'No single cause for cable car's litany of faults' on page C1 yesterday, wrongly referred to Frank Chan Fan as being with cable car operator Ngong Ping 360. He is the government's director of electrical and mechanical services.
