SingTao · 1 SOURCESabout 1 hour ago5 MIN
Summary
TVB programme Scoop continued its two-night investigation into alleged sexual services being offered at massage shops inside neighbourhood malls in Ma On Shan on September 2. The latest report focused on Fok On Garden Commercial Centre, where an undercover male staff member was allegedly quoted HK$1,000 for full sexual services after first being offered a HK$200 massage. The programme also revisited a massage shop at Kam Fai Shopping Centre, where a female therapist denied accusations that the shop charged HK$500 for sexual services. After the broadcast, the male undercover staff member from the previous episode described being left without trousers and having his private area approached during the sting operation.
Key Points
- Scoop said Fok On Garden Commercial Centre had already seen police action in 2018 over massage shops allegedly providing sexual services, with arrests made at the time.
- According to the programme, the shops later reopened after the pressure eased, and alleged vice massage activity in the mall had become an open secret.
- An undercover male staff member was approached by a middle-aged woman in tight clothing and a short skirt, who said a massage cost HK$200.
- Inside a treatment room, the therapist allegedly offered masturbation for HK$450 and full sexual services for HK$1,000, saying the business was now done discreetly.
- Presenter Kam Wing-ning (甘詠寧) confronted a therapist at Kam Fai Shopping Centre, who said the shop only offered full-body massage and oil treatment, not sexual services.
Why It Matters
The report raises concerns about alleged vice activity operating inside everyday residential shopping centres used by families and nearby residents in Ma On Shan. It also points to questions over enforcement, because the programme said a mall previously targeted in a 2018 police operation later saw the relevant massage shops reopen.
