《文匯報》放蛇 支付逾千元免門票免安檢入場啟德體育園開幕禮
The Kai Tak Sports Park opening ceremony was held last Saturday (March 1). Wen Wei Po reported today that people were offered entry through a back door for $1,000 to $1,500 per person. The newspaper sent two reporters undercover, and a man took them inside without security checks or ticket inspection. They were also able to bring in prohibited items, including long-handled umbrellas and professional cameras.
According to the report, while the reporters were interviewing people outside the venue that evening, a man approached them and said he could take them inside. He charged $1,000 per person for the “inner area” and $1,500 for a “high position”; two people travelling together could receive a 20% discount for the “inner area”. The man told the reporters that he had already “made arrangements” with the venue’s ticket-checking staff, while security checks were “merely nominal”.
The two reporters went undercover and followed the man through the security checkpoint. They said the security guards appeared to have an “understanding” and did not stop them, while ticket-checking staff at the ticket checkpoint also looked the other way. At Entrance H of the main stadium, the man pulled aside a cordon and took the reporters inside.

獵人書店辦小型書展 閉門分享會被食環署放蛇
Hunter Bookstore in Sham Shui Po is holding a three-day small book fair at its premises from yesterday, titled “From Words to Interest: The 2nd Hong Kong Small Press Sales Fair and Private Bookstore Outlet”. Several closed-door private sharing sessions are also being held during the event. At one held last night, which focused on the current state of Hong Kong’s publishing industry, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department sent officers undercover. After registering to attend, they then sent personnel to the venue, alleging that the organisers were suspected of holding a public entertainment event without a public entertainment venue licence.

被問的士業界「放蛇」 李家超：未經訓練、法律知識有限唔好做
Chief Executive John Lee met reporters before an Executive Council meeting. Asked about recent voluntary “undercover operations” by people in the taxi industry targeting Uber, Lee said the Transport and Logistics Bureau would complete its investigation in July and report to the Legislative Council. He also advised everyone not to engage in such operations, saying that those without the relevant training and with limited legal knowledge should not do so, or they risk inadvertently falling foul of the law.

《文匯》放蛇偷拍一拳書館 指控軟對抗、挑反政府情緒 曾灶財筆跡被指是「黑暴文宣」
Independent bookstore One Punch Bookstore said last Monday (April 29) that an anonymous complaint had led to the cancellation of a book fair originally scheduled to be held at a school. It subsequently held a mystery reading week at the shop, with staff sharing sessions. Today (the 6th), Wen Wei Po published a full-page report titled “’Yellow Bookstore’ Plots ‘Soft Resistance’, Using ‘Book Clubs’ to Infiltrate Campuses”, accompanied by several secretly taken photographs inside the bookstore showing staff sharing with readers; participation in the sharing session required prior registration. Another accompanying article, titled “No Books Disrupting Hong Kong in Plain Sight, ‘Black Violence Propaganda’ Hidden Within”, accused One Punch Bookstore of the following: “Although the bookstore no longer sells books opposing China and disrupting Hong Kong, suggestive propaganda materials and merchandise promoting black violence still fill inconspicuous corners inside the premises.”
獨立書店「一拳書館」上周一（4 月 29 日）表示，因為一個匿名投訴，導致原定在一間學校舉行的書展要取消，遂改為在店內舉行推理閱讀週，並安排店員分享。《文匯報》今日（6 日）以題為〈「黃書店」謀「軟對抗」 借「讀書會」滲校園〉全版報道，附上多張在書店內偷拍的照片，拍攝到店員與讀者分享的畫面，而該分享活動需事前報名。另一條配稿以〈明無亂港書籍 暗藏黑暴文宣〉為題，指控一拳書館「儘管館內不再售賣反中亂港書籍，但渲染黑暴的暗示性文宣及銷售品仍充斥在室內不顯眼的角落之中」。

【初選47人案】范功健承認做「蛇頭」 反指「這叫人力資源不是嗎？」
InMedia recently reported that a “queueing gang” in the 47-person primary election case had collected HK$800 in cash to occupy court queue numbers, and identified one of the “queueing organisers” as Fan Kung-kin, who was allegedly linked to the pro-establishment organisations S.P.C. Youth Entrepreneurship Association and S.P.C. International Young Talents Exchange Association. There has since been further development: the S.P.C. International Young Talents Exchange Association issued a statement distancing itself from Fan, saying that he had resigned from all positions a year and a half ago and that his personal actions were unrelated to the association. Fan wrote on his personal Facebook page that as the “boss” was willing to pay wages, “I arranged people to queue—isn’t this called human resources?” InMedia successfully contacted Fan by telephone. In his first response to the incident, he openly admitted to acting as a “queueing organiser”.
《獨媒》日前報導初選47人案「排隊黨」收取800元現金霸法庭籌號事件，亦找出其中一名「蛇頭」是范功健，涉與建制組織「S.P.C.青創家協會」與「S.P.C.國際年青才俊交流協會」有關。事件再有進展，「S.P.C.國際年青才俊交流協會」發聲明撇清與范的關係，指對方一年半前已卸任所有職務，其個人行為與協會無關。范功健在個人Facebook直言，「老闆」願意支付人工，「我就安排人手排隊，這叫人力資源不是嗎？」《獨媒》成功以電話聯絡范功健，他首次回應事件，對做蛇頭直認不諱。

【初選47人案】記者通宵排隊獲800元 有人收走大疊籌號保管
The trial of the Primary Election 47 case opened last Monday, and “queueing syndicates” have appeared almost every day. After obtaining queue tickets, they leave, allegedly preventing ordinary members of the public from attending the hearings. Initium Media successfully contacted an organiser who advertised: “HK$800, and you don’t have to do anything.” The organiser required people to queue overnight for 12 hours until the court distributed tickets this morning, with the ticket handed over in exchange for payment. After the reporter applied for the “job”, the reporter was added to a WhatsApp group called “13/2 West Kowloon Elites Group”. Following several days of media reports on the incident, the organiser appeared wary and warned: “The police have been checking very strictly recently.” The organiser eventually arranged the exchange at Fu Cheung Estate, where the reporter saw someone taking away a large stack of queue tickets distributed that day for safekeeping.
初選47人案上周一開審，幾乎每日都出現「排隊黨」，取得籌號後便離開，疑阻止正常市民聽審。《獨媒》成功聯絡一名蛇頭，對方標榜「800蚊什麼都不用做」，通宵排隊12小時至今早法庭派籌，一手交籌一手交錢。記者應徵「工作」後被加入一個叫「13/2西九精英群」的WhatsApp 群組。連日傳媒報導事件，蛇頭顯得避忌，提醒「呢排差人check得好緊」，蛇頭最終安排在富昌邨交收，記者目擊有人將一大疊當日派出籌號保管。

Youth Entrepreneurship Association”, whose businesses include event coordination, KOL promotion, and stretching and bone-setting services. The website listed on the card links to the “International Young Talents Exchange Association”, whose founding aims are to “implement the development policy of ‘one country, two systems’ of the People’s Republic of China; uphold the administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in accordance with the law”. When The Stand News contacted Fan for comment, he said, “I’m working,” before immediately hanging up.
