Who you gonna call?

Here we go, demonstrations in front of the China Liaison Office will be staged today…again! It makes the headlines even of the slightly pro-establishment Portuguese newspaper Jornal Tribuna de Macao. Good old journalism is badly needed there, but the only place where a great background analysis can be found is with Macau Gaming Watch.

I especially like the following image:

So, basic principles for investigative journalism should be: follow the money and who is the boss?

The fact that spoiled "investors" or "depositors" (whatever you want to call them) keep coming back to the CLO should arouse the interest of some...

The only time I have seen the name published (despite earlier demos) is when the International Union of Operating Engineers sent a letter (also to the press) asking the very able DICJ to look into that Charles Heung guy... On September 28th! Nothing before that (or so little, published in Macau Post Daily on September 17th under the generic term "Dore depositors petition Liaison Office over funds")! Nobody can read Chinese or what?

If people stopped wondering too much about the ulterior motives of the International Union of Operating Engineers, I guess some pressure might be exerted on the regulator to finally do its job. If the DICJ was doing its job, then the Union would become irrelevant, right?
