Dear Friends

Each Wednesday morning, I get a ferry from HK Island to Peng Chau Island,
and then a 2nd ferry from PC to Hei Ling Chau Island Drug Treatment Centre

My first ferry brings a load of passengers from PC to HK at 10.30. 
Then it takes another load (including myself) to PC at 10.45

When this ferry arrives at 10.30, I often see some HLC friends disembarking,
having just been released from detention.
I usually wish them all the best, offer to help them in any way,
make sure they have my phone number, and invite them to join my Sunday night gatherings

Yesterday when about 6 such friends came ashore,
they were met by 3 police officers who immediately asked for 6 ID cards 
and started an interrogation

I was standing nearby...some of the 6 had recognized me and were saying hello.
I said to one of the police officers "Sir, these men have just got out of HLC, they're ok"

To which the police officer replied: "We had a call from staff on the ferry. 
People were using drugs on the ferry"

As my dear old Dad used to say "I'll say no more" !
