最近在報張上看到兩則新聞,令筆者有一點不安的感覺。
一名澳洲移民在回港時攜帶了一些雪藏牛排,他也很醒目地在海關選擇了紅色通道,主動申報,但是卻換來了被檢控非法攜帶違禁品入境。
另一名香港市民沒有支持香港政府的禁煙運動,同時也不支持留港消費,在下班後怱忙趕回國內享受那隨意抽煙的自由。誰知在回港之時,竟遭關員檢控未有申報尚在口袋中抽剩了的七根已完稅香煙。
關於第一則新聞,那名市民固然不幸,但香港政府在執法的同時卻似乎忘記了應頒一個「好市民獎」給那名移民,因為他也親自舉報了一名「罪犯」- 他自己。
對於第二則新聞,更是聞所未聞。據報張報道,當局強調已完稅貨品在再入境時也需申報,如果是真的話,那每天來往深港兩地數以萬計的車輛,是不是也需逐架申報,並需將其油缸內的燃料抽出來量一量才成,因為不論汽車本身或油缸內的汽油也是已完稅的物品呢!
兩則新聞令筆者感到香港海關似乎有內地化的現象。如筆者一類經常出入內地的出差旅人,以往都知道在大時大節出入內地海關要小心一點,如果可以的話,盡量少帶一點東西,因為隨時會遇到一些關員拿出一些似是而非的關例來「坑」你,但這現象在近年已有一些改善。想不到香港海關居然可令時光倒流。現在這兩則新聞,不是有一點內地的味道嗎?

sorry. did you read the news from newspaper? If yes, which one?
The news is quite hot in the Oriental Daily in these few days.
I am a bit doubt with this newspapre's accuracy.
Did other media's news coverage the same issue with the same details?
It is really a big problem that we are difficult to find a newspaper in HK that can be believed. The news is also appeared in several sources, e.g. Sing Pao, i-Cable news, Wenweipo, Commercial Radio, and even in Apple Daily. It seems that the Customs also did not clarify for any mistake in the reporting.
