Postal red envelopes a bad idea: HK Post(China Daily)Updated: 2007-01-26 08:58 Hong Kong Post has urged residents not to mail cash, with the increasing reports of lost letters containing money. Many Hongkongers like to send red gift envelopes to relatives overseas for the lunar new year. But Hong Kong Post said that it had received 13 reports of lost letters containing money last year, compared with only one such report in 2005. It is not illegal to mail cash in Hong Kong in registered letters, but some destinations, including the Chinese mainland and South Korea, do not allow them. (Ming Pao) |
