     The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (July 25) wishes to alert members of the public to a suspected bogus website with the domain name www.hkmenshealth.com, which resembles the official website of the Men’s Health Programme of the DH.

     The CHP reminds the public that the DH’s subscription to the above website domain expired on April 24 this year and the contents of the Men’s Health Programme have already been relocated to a designated section under the CHP website at (www.chp.gov.hk/hkmenshealth_en) since then.

     The CHP has referred the case to the Hong Kong Police Force for further investigation.

     Anyone who has provided his or her personal information to the website concerned or has conducted any financial transactions through the website should contact the Police. read more

     A company was fined $4,000 at the Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts today (July 25) for contravening the Clubs (Safety of Premises) Ordinance.
      
     The courts heard that in December last year, officers from the Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) of the Home Affairs Department conducted inspections at a club on Cameron Road in Tsim Sha Tsui which had been operating with a certificate of compliance (CoC).
      
     OLA officers posed as customers and patronised the club for drinks without being asked to show their membership status or being invited to join the club as members. Also, the staff of the club failed to show the registered drawings upon the OLA officers’ request. Conditions 17 and 19 of the CoC were breached.
      
     The company, being the CoC holder of the club, was charged with contravening section 21(2) of the Ordinance.
      
     A spokesman for the department reminded all CoC holders to comply with the conditions as stipulated therein. Enforcement action will continue to be taken against illegal club operations. read more
