Police receive Lam Wing Kee's request for assistance
****************************************************

     Police received Mr Lam Wing Kee's request for assistance this morning (July 1), claiming that he was told by a friend that he was being followed on June 29. He also suspected he was being followed yesterday (June 30). Police met with Mr Lam immediately.
