Q Is cricket-fight betting a tradition that deserves more leniency?

Cricket fanciers are fined between $600 and $10,000 for gambling on the fights (with only $8,000 in the pool spread among 100 more people it would hardly seem like serious gambling). This is typical of Hong Kong 'justice'.

I think most of Hong Kong is really fed up with Secretary for Justice Elsie Leung Oi-sie and her obvious disdain for legal transparency (or incompetence).

Q Are you in favour of smoking bans in pubs?

Before registering my complaint, I wish to express a word of praise. I congratulate the management of the Dublin Jack pub for taking a positive stand against smoking. This contrasts markedly with the indifferent attitude on the part of shopping mall management companies to the Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance (Cap. 371).
