It's again time to refresh ourselves about some of the more bizarre episodes of 2002. Welcome to the SAR Awards, Part 2 (July to December)
THE SPCA (THE SOCIETY OF PROMOTING CELEBRITY ATTENTION-SEEKERS) CROSS
Presented to Canto-pop star Nicholas Tse Ting-fung (left), who took the body of his beloved pet hedgehog Siu Gut to Western Court to face a charge of perverting the course of justice. The body of the pet, which had died two days before, and its cardboard-box coffin was denied entry into court.
LAZARUS TROPHY
To Hong Kong man Steven Chin Leung who, attempting to dodge a US fraud charge, faked his own death in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The authorities arrested him after Chin, an only child, pretended to be his own brother. He backed up his claims with e-mails, which cops quickly realised were all sent after the attacks.
