A former senior police superintendent has decided to continue fighting smuggling by joining the civil organization Hong Kong United Against Illicit Trade.
Patrick Wong, who spent 37 years with the police, said smuggling is not simply a trade issue, but more of a social problem especially the profound impact it has on youths.

“It’s not just a matter of buying a packet of smuggled cigarettes or a counterfeit handbag. It’s more about directly funding the criminals and providing more economic incentives for an illegal business,” Wong said.
