Chickeeduck網店結業｜四年前遭東莞海關充公貨品 正版貨被放售淘寶 周小龍斥：呢班土匪嚟！
Children’s fashion brand Chickeeduck, which withdrew from Hong Kong two years ago, will close its online shop at the end of this month, formally ending all its business operations. However, Chickeeduck owner Chow Siu Lung Herber, who is living in Britain and the United States, was recently informed by internet users that one of the “Five Little Ducks” canvas bags seized by Dongguan Customs two years ago was being sold on Taobao, with the listing identifying it as being from the Hong Kong brand Chickeeduck. Chow Siu Lung Herber said the goods were originally worth nearly HK$5 million and condemned their forcible seizure and subsequent sale on Taobao as “bandit behaviour”. Chow Siu Lung Herber also disclosed that over the past two years, attempts had been made to find other manufacturers in Southeast Asia to continue the overseas business, but the manufacturers were unwilling to cooperate because they were concerned about the influence of the Chinese Communist Party.
The “Five Little Ducks” canvas bags, which internet users recently found being sold on Taobao, have since been removed from the site. However, screenshots provided by Chow Siu Lung Herber showed that the bags had previously been promoted on Taobao as a “Hong Kong brand” and “CHICKEEDUCK”, at RMB13.8 each (approximately HK$15.18). In an interview with Pulse HK, Chow Siu Lung Herber said the “Five Little Ducks” canvas bags were among the goods seized by mainland Chinese customs from Chickeeduck in September 2021. The seized shipment comprised 50,000 items, including 20,000 canvas bags as well as children’s quilts, pillows and cushions, with a retail valuation of nearly HK$5 million.
兩年前撤出香港的兒童時裝品牌 Chickeeduck，其網店將於本月底結業，正式全面結束所有業務。不過，旅居英美的 Chickeeduck 老闆周小龍近日接獲網民通知，其中一款在兩年前已被東莞海關充公的「五隻鴨仔」帆布袋竟在淘寶網站有售，並標明是香港品牌 Chickeeduck。周小龍指該批貨品原值近500萬港元，怒斥強行充公再放售淘寶是「土匪行為」。他又透露過去兩年曾嘗試在東南亞另覓廠家延續海外業務，但對方因憂慮中共的影響力而不敢合作。
被網民日前發現在淘寶有售的「五隻鴨仔」帆布袋現時已經下架，但根據周小龍提供的網民截圖，帆布袋之前在淘寶網站的宣傳標明「香港品牌」、「CHICKEEDUCK」，每個售價13.8元人民幣（約15.18港元）。周小龍接受《追光者》訪問時表示，該款「五隻鴨仔」帆布袋是2021年9月 Chickeeduck 被中國大陸海關充公的其中一款貨品，該批被充公貨品合共有5萬件，除了2萬個帆布袋，另有兒童被子、枕頭、咕臣等，零售估值近500萬港元。

「小皇國 Yellowland」受邀擺攤 前一日遭煞停
The yellow shop “Yellowland”, which sells cookies and other baked goods, had earlier been invited to set up a stall at the “Halloween Hong Kong-style Beer Festival” at Sha Tin New Town Plaza from October 29 to November 2. However, the organiser notified it one day before the event began that the stall was cancelled because of “emergency works”. “Yellowland” and internet users questioned whether the incident was related to the shop’s political stance. This newspaper is making inquiries with New Town Plaza about the incident.
“Yellowland” said on social media that its participation in the market had been confirmed last week, after which it worked hard to prepare new packaging. It said: “After we had spent so many days preparing, the organiser only told us the day before that our booth (stall) had to be cancelled, because there were emergency works at our booth.” “Yellowland” described its reaction on learning of the incident as being “so angry that we immediately wanted to swear”.
售賣曲奇等餅食的黃店「小皇國 Yellowland」，早前受邀原定在10月29日至11月2日，於沙田新城市廣場的「Halloween 港式啤酒節」設攤位，但是主辦方在活動開始前一日通知，因「緊急工程」取消攤位。「小皇國 Yellowland」及網民紛紛質疑，事件與該店立場有關。本報正就事件向新城市廣場查詢。
「小皇國 Yellowland」在社交平台指，獲邀參與市集並在上星期落實，之後努力準備新包裝，「偏偏準備咗好多日之後，舉辦單位前一日先同我哋講要取消我哋個booth（攤位），原因係因為我地個booth有緊急工程」。「小皇國 Yellowland」形容得知事件後，「即刻嬲到想講粗口」。

如一遷大南街地舖 創辦人朱江瑋：做得幾耐得幾耐
Former district councillor Kong Wai Chu founded the online shopping platform “As One”. In its four years of operation, it has moved premises several times. Its current Mong Kok shop is in Ho Wang Kok Building, but the landlord notified it in mid-June that the lease would not be renewed. The entire floor at the original site was rented to a tutorial centre, and the shop had to vacate by 31 August. “As One” decided to leave a shopping centre for the first time and open a ground-floor shop on Tai Nan Street in Prince Edward. It began a trial opening yesterday, 3 September.
The “As One” shop had attracted attention from various departments on several occasions. Kong Wai Chu said it had sought to rent another unit in Ho Wang Kok Building from the original landlord, but was unsuccessful, quoting the landlord as saying they were “afraid the police would come to the door”. The new “As One” shop was ultimately located on Tai Nan Street, at a cost of about $200,000. Kong Wai Chu said: “We’ll do what we feel is right and keep going for as long as we can.”
前區議員朱江瑋創辦網購平台「如一」，開業四年曾多次「搬舖」，目前旺角店位於旺角好望角大廈，惟6月中旬獲業主通知不獲續租，原址全層租出作補習社，需於8月31日出遷出。「如一」決定首次離開商場，在太子大南街設地舖，昨日起（9月3日）試業。
「如一」門市曾多次獲不同部門關注，朱江瑋表示，曾向原業主爭取租用好望角其他單位，惟並不成功，引述稱業主「驚警察上門」。最終「如一」新店選址大南街，新舖位花費約20萬，「做啲自己覺得啱嘅嘢，做得幾耐得幾耐」。

「同香會」不獲續租下月告別西九龍中心 陳劍琴批商場帶頭審查
The “Stationery Tong Heung Wui”, founded by former Tsuen Wan district councillor Kim Kam Chan, was notified by West Kowloon Centre the day before yesterday (14th) that its lease would not be renewed. Its lease to relocate to another shop in the centre was also rejected that day, and it will leave West Kowloon Centre on the 30th of next month. Kim Kam Chan told The Witness that it was difficult to speculate on the reason for the non-renewal, but believed it was related to the scented candles bearing the words “Memories Never Fade, Conscience Never Ceases” that it sold for the 36th anniversary of June 4 this year. She criticised the mall for taking the lead in driving out and censoring “sensitive people”, and said she was extremely disappointed: “Purely because of my name, because of political reasons and national security reasons, they won’t rent to a person to do business. I think that kind of loss is the mall’s. Many shops are already struggling to survive and having to close, and there are still shops willing to set up a stall in your mall. For a community-oriented mall, that would certainly do no harm and would definitely be good for the economy, but now they are taking the lead in refusing to rent to you.”
由前荃灣區議員陳劍琴創辦的「文具同香會」前日（14日）獲西九龍中心通知不續租，其搬遷到中心內其他舖位的租約同日被拒，下月底（30日）將告別西九龍中心。陳劍琴向《獨媒》表示，難以猜想不獲租續的原因，但相信與今年六四36周年售賣印有「記憶不滅 良知不息」的香薰蠟燭有關。她批評商場帶頭驅趕、審查「敏感人士」，表示極度遺憾，「純粹因為我個名，因為政治原因，國安原因唔租畀一個人做生意，咁我覺得嗰種遺憾係商場損失，而家已經講緊好多舖頭捱唔住要執，仲有舖頭肯喺你商場擺個檔，對一個民生商場嚟講一定係無害，對經濟都一定好，但依家佢哋帶頭唔租畀你。」

泰繽紛｜服務供應商去年被「拖數」 被迫「畀折扣」棄索償 對外聲稱清盤承辦商仍註冊
《集誌社》reported last July that service providers for the “Water-Splashing Thai Fest” were owed more than HK$710,000 in fees. MatchLive, a contractor whose director was Eric Chuen Sing Yeung, who had pro-establishment connections, used various tactics—including resigning, becoming uncontactable and claiming it was undergoing “restructuring”—to delay payment. One year later, the Kowloon City District Office and district council will again hold the “Lung Shing Food and Water-Splashing Thai Fest 2025” from tomorrow (11th) to Sunday. The Hong Kong Kowloon City Industry and Commerce Association, which organised last year’s event, is this year co-organising the carnival component, while the Kowloon City District Residents Association has taken over as the organiser.
Have the suppliers whose payments were delayed recovered the money owed to them? It emerged that in August last year, the contractor made another move, asking suppliers to “give a discount” on the grounds that it was undergoing “liquidation”. In the end, it paid only half or less of the “discounted amount”, forcing the suppliers to do business at a loss and abandon their claims. The reporter checked the records and found that Matchive—which told suppliers it intended to “liquidate”—remains a registered company to this day, with no record of an application to deregister or wind up the company. According to company filings submitted at the end of last year, Eric Chuen Sing Yeung, who had pro-establishment connections, remained its sole director.
《集誌社》去年七月曾報道，「潑水泰繽紛」服務供應商被拖欠款逾 71 萬費用，由具建制背景的楊全盛任董事的承辦商 MatchLive，以辭職、失聯、聲稱「重組」多招拖數。事隔一年，九龍區民政事務處、區議會明（11日）至周日再辦「龍城美食潑水泰繽紛 2025」，去年的主辦單位香港九龍城工商業聯會，今屆改為合辦嘉年華部分，主辦由九龍城區居民聯會接手。
被拖數的供應商，他們追回欠款了嗎？原來承辦商去年 8 月再出招，以「清盤」為由要求供應商「給予折扣」，最後僅付一半或更低的「折扣金額」，令一眾供應商被迫做蝕本生意、兼放棄索償。記者翻查資料 向供應商聲稱要「清盤」的 Matchive ，至今仍為註冊公司、未見任何撤銷註冊或清盤申請，據去年底公司申報文件，具建制背景的楊全盛仍任唯一董事。

基隆茶餐廳收恐嚇信 附染污漬口罩 負責人：刻意針對某啲政治理念不同的小店
Keelung Cha Chaan Teng posted on social media this Wednesday (28th), saying it had received a threatening letter. In an interview with Light Media, the person in charge said that a letter had arrived two days earlier at the Prince Edward branch, containing newspaper clippings about imprisoned pro-democracy figures and national security cases, as well as a mask with obvious stains. The person in charge said they were not worried about their own safety, “because I’ve already been scared into becoming fearless,” but were concerned about the safety of staff and whether the mask was contaminated with a virus, “because it’s really frightening.”
基隆茶餐廳本周三（28日）於社交媒體發文，指收到一封恐嚇信。餐廳負責人接受《光傳媒》訪問，透露前天收到寄往太子店的一封信件，信內夾附一些在囚民主派人士及國安案件的剪報，還包括一個有明顯污漬的口罩。負責人表示不擔心自己安危，「因已經嚇大咗個膽」，惟擔心員工安全及口罩染有病毒，「因為真係好恐怖」。

黃店友利冰室疑涉欠租收舖 鄰店王宗堯 Happy Belly 受牽連 7.9 結業 食客：約定再見就會再見
The “yellow shop” Yau Lei Bistro & Biggap was reported to have unpaid wages and rent. Its staff announced online last Saturday (June 29) that its two branches in Prince Edward and Lai Chi Kok had suspended business because supplies had been exhausted. It was also issued a fire-safety summons after items allegedly blocked an escape route, and did not send a representative to appear in court. Happy Belly, a snack shop run by actor Wang Chung-yin and his wife Julia, has been subletting the premises of Yau Lei’s original Prince Edward branch. In a post yesterday (July 4), it said that it had not been involved in any debt problems since opening at the end of last year, but would suspend business next Tuesday (July 9) to facilitate the landlord’s recovery of Yau Lei’s rent arrears and repossession of the premises, until further notice. It thanked Yau Lei, saying: “Without Yau Lei Bistro & Biggap, there would be no Happy Belly.” Many diners expressed regret and wished the Happy Belly team a good rest while awaiting a new location and a comeback: “If we agree to meet again, we will.”

友利欠薪｜員工一個月冇糧出 勞工處接求助 積金局指欠供款
Reports recently emerged that the yellow-shop restaurant Yau Lei Bistro & Biggap, which currently has two branches, was behind on rent and wages, while its owner had recently left Hong Kong. Posters were also put up on the streets, apparently seeking repayment of debts. The MPF Authority confirmed that Yau Lei had failed to make about HK$130,000 in MPF contributions for more than 30 employees. The Collectives’ reporter visited both branches today (24th): they were operating as usual in the afternoon, but employees at the Lai Chi Kok branch said more than 10 staff members had been owed wages for over a month and had sought help from the Labour Department. The owner had not explained the reason for the unpaid wages. A Yau Lei employee who had worked there for several years said colleagues had families and the owner should not have “just left without saying a word”. He added that his colleagues had clear consciences and that he would “stand together with all the staff through thick and thin”.
目前有兩間分店的黃店食肆「友利冰室」，日前傳出拖租欠薪、老闆近日離港，更有人貼街招疑似追債。積金局證實，友利拖欠逾 30 員工強積金供款約 13 萬元。《集誌社》記者今（24日）到訪兩店，下午如常營運，但有荔枝角店的員工透露，十多員工已遭欠薪超過一個月，已到勞工處求助，老闆未交代欠薪原因。有工作數年的友利員工表示，同事有家庭，老闆不應「一聲唔講就走咗去」；又指同事問心無愧，他則會與一眾伙記「共同進退」。
