Dec 2, 2015:
Yesterday at Tuen Mun Immigration Centre I chatted with many new asylum seekers from India and Bangladesh, nearly all of them scammed into coming to HK. One group of more than a dozen from Bangladesh said that each of them paid HK$45,000 (!) to come to HK ...to raise which they sold land, sold or melted down their mothers' and wives gold rings etc etc.
