Security guards Tsang Sang, 70, Chan Wan-kam, 60, and Ko Wing, 58, all pleaded guilty before Mr Crawford McKee to a joint count of conspiracy to accept an advantage as an agent.

They admitted having accepted $30,000 in total from Mr Lam Yuk-shun, Mr Lau Kwai-sing and an unknown person as an inducement or reward for allowing them to park at Kai Yip Estate, Kowloon Bay, without paying the proper fees.

In September 1989, Tsang, the supervisor, was approached by a frequent customer, Mr Lam, asking about monthly parking.

Mr Lam agreed to pay $400 to Tsang.

Tsang gave $100 each to Chan and Ko and kept the balance. The sum was raised in subsequent years.
