Former district councilor Wong Chun-yeung was remanded in custody on Thursday after appearing in court over a fraud case where he allegedly cheated elderly women out of HK$970,000 in nine "guess who" telephone scams. The magistrate adjourned the case to September 28 upon the prosecution’s request, with Wong required to be remanded in custody. A police spokesman said yesterday that the woman filed a police report on May 30, with the arrest made in Tseung Kwan O on Monday. Wong won the district council election in 2019 and served Islands district as an independent. But in October 2021, he was among 16 district councillors who were disqualified when authorities invalidated their oaths.
