"Hong Kong 01" reporter and Tuen Mun Community Network Convener Luo Yingyong went to the Bauhinia Garden in Daxing Village this morning to observe. There were more than ten people in the park or they recognized Luo Yingyong. People in the park became very vigilant. One of them The man who originally sat on the bench suddenly stood up and wandered around, but his eyes kept on the reporter and Luo Yongyong.
During the 15 minutes the reporter stayed, there were fewer and fewer people in the park, but there were signs of gambling in the park everywhere. It is not difficult for pedestrians to find abandoned poker cards in flower troughs. There are dozens of them in a bamboo basket. Poker, and under the banyan tree in the corner of the park, there are 3 sparrow tables, several stools and folding tables, etc. There are nearly 20 plastic stools and folding stools in many places throughout the park.
Luo Yongyong said that some uncles and uncles would usually move out the sparrow stand and stools to open gambling places on the spot, "directly like a casino", and this kind of gambling situation is being performed every day.

Many signs in the park stated that gambling was strictly prohibited, but the notices did not work. Luo Yongyong said that the problem of gambling on weekdays has affected other residents in the village, making them afraid to go there because the gambling people will pay them unfriendly eyes. Recently, with the new pneumonia epidemic, villagers have even avoided going to the park. Some gamblers do not wear masks, and some gamblers urinate on the hillside near the park for the sake of greed, causing health problems.
Luo Yongyong said that since the implementation of the "restriction order", more than 4 people have gathered in the park to report to the police five times. One of them saw the police arrive only one hour after the report. At that time, there were only 3 people in the park pavilion At the scene, I saw from the pictures provided by Luo that at the time, 2 of the 3 people present were not wearing masks. He was worried that if the situation did not improve, in the event that people gathered to gamble with people who contracted the new pneumonia, it would affect the community and urged the government to strengthen law enforcement.
