Former Anti-Occupy-Central Organisation with Pro-Beijing Stance Approaching Arrested Protesters, Claiming to Provide Aid in Cash
[Editor's note: Spark Alliance, an initiative to help the arrested through fund raised by donation, has been targetted by the police. Not only that its financial asset has been frozen, four of its members were arrested on December 19, causing uproar among the public]
A company called LiveliCare Limited is said to have been approaching defendants of Anti-ELAB Movement cases outside the courts recently, claiming that they could provide financial aid and asking for defendants’ information.
According to an article previously published in Stand News, LiveliCare Limited used to be called The Trade and Industrial Federation of Anti-Occupy Central Limited. 2 days after the aforementioned article was published, Ho Kam-wah, the director of LiveliCare Limited, responds to the inquiry saying that the former company director is named Yip Kwok-chung, who is Ho’s relative with a pro-Beijing stance, and it was Yip who gave the company its former name, The Trade and Industrial Federation of Anti-Occupy Central Limited. Ho further clarifies that former director Yip Kwok-chung is not the younger brother of former DAB legislative council member Ip Kwok-him.
Although the names of both men match exactly in Chinese, the English spellings of their surnames are different. However, Ho does admit that it is wrong of their volunteers to approach defendants outside the courts. Ho also states that their charity license has been revoked and they have decided to stop all crowdfunding activities as of today, disassociating themselves from relief schemes.
Earlier, a reporter went to LiveliCare’s registered address in Kwai Fong Estate and was roughly treated by a woman at the address. The woman yanked the reporter’s clothes and tried to snatch the reporter’s phone. She even called the police and asked the reporter to leave. Ho explains that it was a misunderstanding as “someone else’s address” was wrongly written in the registry and an innocent person was disturbed. Ho claims that the organisation’s address is now corrected in the Companies Registry.
