Hong Kong police arrest 2 for stealing HK$200,000 via tampered cheques
Hong Kong police have arrested a man and a woman for allegedly stealing cheques from postboxes and tampering with them to obtain about HK$200,000 (US$25,480) from victims' bank accounts over a four-month period. The force said on Monday that the arrests were made last Friday in Wong Tai Sin and Tuen Mun by officers from Kwai Tsing district crime squad and Kwai Chung special duty team, respectively. The 31-year-old woman and 21-year-old man, both local residents, were arrested on suspicion of theft and using false instruments. Police received reports from multiple residents whose bank accounts had been debited via altered cheques between March and July this year. Investigations revealed that the suspects allegedly stole cheques from postboxes in industrial buildings across various districts. They then used an eraser to alter the payee details and amounts on the cheques before depositing them into their own bank accounts.

Hong Kong charts sustainable and smart future for shipping
04:27 Hong Kong goes smart and green with its port operations Hong Kong goes smart and green with its port operations The global shipping industry, which handles most of the world's trade, is at a critical point as it navigates towards a sustainable and technologically advanced future. Governments accelerated the move away from the use of fossil fuels in the industry in April after negotiators at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) agreed to mandatory greenhouse gas emissions limits and a global price on emissions of ships that exceed them. These measures will be binding on large ships, which account for 85 per cent of the industry's carbon dioxide emissions. The deal, if ratified in October, will come into force in 2028 and lead to a 30 per cent base target reduction in emissions – on 2008 levels – by 2030. The IMO is aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. For a major shipping hub such as Hong Kong, this transformation presents both challenges and exciting opportunities. Yet industry players in the city have already been hard at work preparing for the changes. Horace Lo, group managing director of Modern Terminals, says Kwai Tsing Container Port began to convert its diesel-powered engines to electric as far back as 20 years ago. 'We started our process 15 [to] 20 years ago,' says Horace Lo, group managing director of container terminal operator Modern Terminals, a major operator at the city's Kwai Tsing Container Port. 'We have spent a lot of effort to convert all the diesel engines to electrify them, or turn hybrid and then go to finally fully electric.'

Mr Blank 2.0 a dance piece that's visually dazzling but feels bleak, brutal and voyeuristic
'These premises are under CCTV surveillance for your personal safety and security.' Advertisement This ominous message on wall-mounted screens greets the audience in the auditorium of Kwai Tsing Theatre as they arrive to watch Mr Blank 2.0, by Hong Kong's City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC). When the curtain rises, the same words appear on the back wall of the stage. The visually dazzling dance work, with its use of multilayered video projections and intense performances, offers a bleak picture of a world from which basic humanity has disappeared. There is no denying its visceral power, but ultimately its lack of hope or possibility of redemption make it more a work of horror than a moral tale. Multilayered projections help paint a bleak picture of a world bereft of humanity in Mr Blank 2.0. Photo: Carmen So Sang Jijia 's first creation since becoming CCDC's artistic director at the beginning of 2025 is the latest permutation of a work originally staged in 2018, then again in 2020, and most recently in a film version in 2021.
