Court hears an unpaid debt was the motive, but Raymond Wong refuses to shed any light on the matter

Three men were fined $2,000 each yesterday after pleading guilty to conspiring to assault former radio talk-show host Raymond Wong Yuk-man.

Mr Wong arrived at Kowloon City Court to give evidence but was told he would not be needed after the three defendants changed their plea to guilty.

Outside court, Mr Wong shook his head when asked how he felt and said that if there was anything bothering him, it was the media.

When reporters asked why he was the target of an assault, he said: 'Make your own guesses. You're going to put it in the headlines anyway.'

Defendants Li Kwok-wah, 52, Lau Chung-mei, 34, and Lam Kam-wai, 34, said they were told to 'push' Mr Wong, whom, under caution, they had earlier referred to as a 'small celebrity', because he owed someone money.
