Ungabunga Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 What?? you mean to tell me that Mr. Woo Wey Gung , Mr. Wong Chin Mun and Mrs. Lee Fung are Chinese? I must be slipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Bear Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 But are they mainland Chinese or Taiwanese Chinese (or even American Chinese)? And 20M bahts-worth of thievery ain't to be sniffed at. It buys an awful lot of Dim Sum back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I wonder if these folks were the gang behind the recent rash of thefts at the Mercure Hotel behind The Avenue Mall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
