'Human faeces' sent in post to Greg So after he calls for tolerance of mainlanders
Greg So had been mocked for urging civility in row over tourists' behaviour
Three parcels apparently containing human faeces have been sent to the office and home of commerce minister Greg So Kam-leung, who has been the subject of protests after he called for tolerance of mainland parents who allow their children to relieve themselves in Hong Kong streets.
All of the packages were accompanied by typed messages making reference to So's earlier remarks, according to police, who are investigating.
News of the parcels - one of which was opened by So's wife - followed a demonstration outside his home on Sunday in which protesters used fake excrement to simulate urination and defecation.
So, in Paris on government business, yesterday described the acts as "very unwise".
"I hope that everyone can express themselves in civilised and rational ways," he said.
The first two parcels were delivered to So's office at government headquarters in Admiralty and his home on MacDonnell Road on Tuesday last week, a few days after he urged Hongkongers to teach mainlanders manners instead of pointing accusatory fingers at them. The third was received at his office on Monday.
