SCMP Reporter

Regarding the proposed installation of closed-circuit cameras in Lan Kwai Fong, I have lived in Hong Kong for nine years and I can think of many more dangerous areas than this entertainment district.

I can't actually think of a place which is safer, catering as it does to well-off expats and locals, where you are lucky to find a beer for less than $50.

Lan Kwai Fong must have more of Hong Kong's 'finest' per person, per square kilometre than anywhere else in the SAR at 9pm on a Friday.

If cameras are going to be installed, then put them where they are needed, where real crimes are committed, in places like Wan Chai, Shamshuipo, Jordan and Mongkok.
