Chan Hoi-gong, better known on social media as “Haba Sir,” was charged with fraud and recently said he was seeking alternative proceedings off the judicial trial mechanism. Before approval of this request, he is required to appear in court again on September 20.

Chan Hoi-gong, the now-suspended assistant district commander of Shatin district police, who is active on mainland social network platforms and often refers to himself by the nickname “Haba Sir,” was charged with two counts of fraud along with businessman Wang Ho-ngai. The case went to trial in the District Court on July 19.
