隨�訪港旅客愈來愈多，迷你倉尖沙咀旅遊糾紛亦不斷增加，其中部分固然緣於香港不良業者�客欺客，但亦有部分係旅客無理取鬧造成。呢，尋日又有旅霸大鬧香江，簡直令人嘆為觀止。件事係咁�。一批內地旅客參加香港和台灣九日遊，部分人因為簽證問題去唔到台灣，前晚起滯留香港，除�報警求助，並�落馬洲管制站通宵抗議，要求賠償，其後大部分旅客接受旅行社賠償五千元另加機票，返回內地，但依然有部分人拒絕接受，堅持要賠五萬元或十倍團費，否則「死在這兒都不走」，甚至要去政府總部集會抗議咁話。結果擾攘超過廿四小時都未解決，唔止驚動本地相關部門，旅遊業議會介入調停，連國家旅遊局都派人落�了解事件。冤有頭，債有主，成件事係因為部分旅客被台灣列入黑名單而簽唔到證，首先係旅客�「身份」有問題，其次係內地旅行社�責任，關香港乜事呢？再講�，旅客分別畀�二千至六千元旅費，家陣可以�番五千元賠償同機票，雖然無緣去寶島，但變相免費遊香港，除笨有精，咁都仲唔滿足，仲要撒野發爛渣，已經唔係無理取鬧咁簡單，而係變相勒索！正如有人話齋，如果旅客真係咁夠膽，使乜欺善怕惡包圍倉港政府�，索性踩上天安門，包圍中南海�，笨！講開又講，香港已經唔係第一次發生旅霸事件�啦。早前五一黃金周發生「黃金客來港掘金」事件，旅行社息事寧人，賠錢了事，功夫茶當時已經預言，此例一開，後患無窮，果然不幸而言中。有業者明言，近年香港旅遊業糾紛愈來愈多，當中大部分都唔關香港事，只係因為內地法治不彰，令香港成為抗爭之地，受害旅客知道返內地後追索無門，所以故意�香港發難，拉香港落水，搞到本港旅遊業形象受損，根本就係無妄之災。即係咁，凡事都要合情合理合法，處理旅遊糾紛都係一樣，如果香港唔�，當然要承擔要改善，但反過來講，如果錯不在香港，旅遊業者就應該據理力爭，否則旅霸得寸進尺，得隴望蜀，有樣學樣，咁仲成世界�。當然，香港每年接待幾千萬內地旅客，大部分都係循規蹈矩講道理�，只可惜一粒老鼠屎搞壞一鍋粥，旅霸雖然唔多，但影響惡劣，唔只破壞內地人形象，引起港人反感，仲搞到中港矛盾火上添油，簡直豈有此理！今次事件再次提醒業界，旅霸之風不可長，絕對唔可以姑息養奸。你愈係息事寧人，佢就愈有恃無恐，愈無理取鬧，香港遲早畀人玩殘。mini storage

【本報訊】今次內地客滯留香港，迷你倉最平一度靜坐、示威、要求10倍賠償的170名內地旅客，大多身穿印有「無限極」商標的橙紅色風褸，他們聲稱在內地花數百至數千元買入無限極中草藥健康食品，才獲得以3,000多元優惠價參加中港台9至14日團，未料無法赴台變成人球。指旅行由經銷商舉辦無限極（中國）有限公司是李錦記健康產品集團成員，屬李錦記集團旗下。無限極（中國）有限公司董事長李惠森，正是李錦記掌舵人李文達的四兒子。無限極92年成立，在中港台馬均有辦事處，根據內地傳媒迷你倉道，它在內地至少有28服務中心及逾4,000專賣店，在內地的營業額達數十億、甚至上百億元。對於滯留團友指是買無限極產品後參加其優惠旅行團來港，並曾在廣東參觀耗資30億元建成的無限極生產基地。無限極（中國）回應稱，今次旅行是經銷商自行舉辦的，無限極並無參與，但無限極對消費者的不快經歷深表同情，會吸取經驗，公司已通知業務部門加強與經銷商溝通，若日後舉辦類似活動前，須確保簽證已發出才可起行，這也是該公司以往自行舉辦獎勵經營商或員工的旅遊活動時一向採取的做法。mini storage

Source: The Miami HeraldDec.迷你倉 21--Christmas carols filled the Mall of Americas in Miami earlier this week as 10 insurance agents hunched over laptops connected to the Healthcare.gov. welcome screen. They all wore T-shirts that read, in English and Spanish, "Ask me about health care."After a stumbling start that has proven a political embarrassment for the Obama administration, people are taking up that offer in growing numbers.At the mall and other sign-up locations around South Florida, a surge of holiday healthcare shopping is underway -- sparked by a Dec. 23 deadline to ensure coverage kicks in on Jan. 1, the earliest possible date. For most uninsured people, the final deadline to sign up without incurring a tax penalty is March 31."This weekend is going to be a madhouse," predicted Odalys Arevalo, a co-founder of Sunshine Life and Health, whose agents have been enrolling give five to 15 people a day this month at the mall off West Flagler Street. "People have been sitting on the floors waiting. We'll have to get more chairs."Despite the increasing interest, the Obama administration late Thursday rolled out yet another revision to the Affordable Care Act. Bowing to pressure from both parties, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced a limited "hardship" exemption to the individual mandate that has been a lightning rod for critics. The change will give millions of people whose previous and often less expensive plans were canceled a new option to buy bare-bones "catastrophic' policies --without being hit with a tax penalty. Previously, that cheaper choice with minimal coverage had been reserved only for people under 30.The administration estimated that about a half-million people could qualify for the hardship, but others estimate the number could be much higher. Florida Blue alone, for instance, issued 300,000 cancellation letters.The restructuring -- on the heels of other delays and the bungled rollout of the government's healthcare website -- was only the latest fodder for Obamacare critics."The Administration is recognizing the grim reality that more Americans have lost health insurance than gained it under Obamacare," said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in a statement. "Holding a fire sale of cheap insurance is not a responsible fix for a broken program."Even with the ongoing debate, more than one million Americans signed up for Affordable Care Act health insurance in the first three weeks of December -- 500,000 of them enrolling through the federal exchange, President Barack Obama announced today.At Doral-based Epilepsy Foundation of Florida, which received a $637,686 federal grant to assist with health plan enrollments around the state, Nini Hadwen, a trained navigator, summed up the activity:"In a word, hectic. We're enrolling about 10 to 20 people a day compared with the whole month of October. Some people are desperate to meet the deadline," she said. One such client, a Miami man diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013, had to mortgage his house and sell two cars to pay his medical bills. For him, coverage can't start soon enough.In Midtown, Borinquen Medical Centers extended its hours on Tuesday and Thursday and added Saturday hours to accommodate the crowds."We're slammed," said Borinquen navigator Jason Connor, who's adding two full-time and four文件倉temporary enrollment staff members to help handle the load.Although state and federal ACA enrollment websites officially opened Oct. 1, the now notorious technical failures of Healthcare.gov kept most people in 36 states including Florida from enrolling that month.By October's end, only 26,794 Americans had been able to enroll using the bug-ridden website, including fewer than 4,000 out of Florida's 3.8 million uninsured. After around-the-clock repairs, enrollment numbers rose to 17,908 in Florida and 110,000 nationally in November, while another 1.9 million people were able to apply and determine their eligibility for a subsidy, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services' official count.The botched launch did win consumers a reprieve, as the White House extended its original Dec. 15 deadline to Monday for most people to enroll in plans with an effective Jan. 1 coverage date.Insurance companies also added an extension of their own this week, allowing those who enroll by Monday to pay their first month's premium by Jan. 10 instead of Jan. 1. Most uninsured have until the end of March to enroll."It's not the end of the world if you don't complete your enrollment by Dec. 23," said customer care director Carrie McLean of online health insurance giant eHealth.com. "You still have time to get out there and shop without fear of being declined."At the mall, many people seemed grateful for the chance to finally secure coverage.Kettely Mesidor, a nursing home employee from Haiti, waited patiently with her income statements in hand. Why was she enrolling? Her partner Willem Muller, who accompanied her to help translate, said, "Because we have nothing. Because life is vicious for our family, and if you have nothing, anything can happen to you."Business was so brisk that Sunshine's Arevalo passed around a paper bag of tequenos and papas rellenas -- savory Latin pastries -- for the agents, who didn't have time to stop for lunch.While the federal website has improved, Josue Arevalo, for one, wasn't having such a stellar Healthcare.gov day."I've been kicked off six times," the Sunshine agent frowned as he and 58-year-old Juan Hernandez worked on an application.Although they'd been at it for two hours and counting, Hernandez, a chef at Salvatore D. Restaurant in Miami, wasn't giving up. "Believe me, if you don't have insurance, you're dead," he said.The sole breadwinner for his household of four, he had put his son through college on $24,000 a year, just above the federal poverty line, but healthcare costs weighed him down: "It's $50 every time one of us has a doctor's visit, $350 for a specialist and $3,000 for a simple hospital visit," he said.Suddenly, his agent called out: "We're enrolled!"Hernandez had qualified not only for a subsidy, but also for cost-sharing assistance covering 94 percent of his out-of-pocket expenses. His Preferred Medical Silver plan will cover his wife, son, mother-in-law and himself for a $0 monthly premium with no deductible, and doctor's visits will cost about $15."When I first heard about Obamacare, I thought it might not be the best, but at least it's something," Hernandez said.But now: "I love it. I'm a lucky man.".Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Miami Herald Visit The Miami Herald at .miamiherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services存倉

Source: Pioneer Press, St.mini storage Paul, Minn.Dec. 21--As St. Paul leaders joined advocates for the homeless Friday to announce a campaign to relocate and expand the city's busiest shelter, comments from several community leaders suggest how difficult the task will be.Citing desperately overcrowded conditions, Catholic Charities plans to relocate and expand the Dorothy Day emergency shelter, spreading services across three buildings and two downtown St. Paul locations. The cost: about $63 million.State Rep. Tim Mahoney, DFL-St. Paul, has been fielding calls from East Side residents worried the proposed 470-person emergency shelter and housing facility northeast of downtown will be an unwelcome gateway to their neighborhood.Ramsey County Board Chairman Rafael Ortega has his own concerns, ranging from traffic patterns to job and transit access.And a key lawmaker at the state Capitol noted there will be a lot of competition for the money being requested."I'm meeting with (Catholic Charities) CEO Tim Marx next week sometime and really trying to keep an open mind on this. But it seemed kind of surprising," said Mahoney, who represents the East Side.City officials and advocates for the homeless are well aware they will have to make the case to the project's neighbors, lawmakers and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. And the Dorothy Day request will be no small job, but a city-led task force has found that homelessness is no small problem.The number of people living on the streets or in emergency shelters increased by 25 percent from 2006 to 2009, during the height of the recession. The increase has since slowed but continues. Some 10,000 Minnesotans are now homeless, as many as half of them children and teenagers.A kick-off event announcing Catholic Charities' "reVision" expansion campaign was led Friday by Mayor Chris Coleman at the Dorothy Day Center. He was joined by task force co-chairs Matt Kramer, president of the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, and Carleen Rhodes, president of the St. Paul Foundation and Minnesota Philanthropy Partners.Also present were city council member Chris Tolbert and Ramsey County Commissioner Toni Carter, who served on the task force."We can do better for people that are clients here at Dorothy Day," Coleman told the crowd.They said the dangerously overcrowded Dorothy Day was built 30 years ago to offer coffee and doughnuts for 30 to 50 people. It now houses up to 250 people per night, most of them sleeping on mats on the floor."This is such, such a need," said city council member Dave Thune, who represents the neighborhood. "If you've got any kind of a heart, you look at what people endure ... now is the time to do it."SEEKING SUPPORTThe coalition of city, county and social service supporters will ask state lawmakers for $22 million in general obligation bonds. The campaign will seek an additional $17 million from a $100 million housing infrastructure bonding proposal, which will also go before the Legislature in the 2014 session.If the $100 million is approved, decisions about how the housing money would be distributed would rest with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and not with individual lawmakers, said state Rep. Alice Hausman, DFL-St. Paul.Competition for that money is expected to be fierce."My bonding bill will have $100 million in it for housing. But there's no way I can write this project in as a line-item," said Hausman, chairwoman of the House Capital Investment Committee. "It has to compete with all the other projects, and there are many."Hausman said the Dorothy Day Center project will be compared with others that have been waiting for state support, in some cases for years.The Wilder Foundation and House of Hope Presbyterian Church are asking for money for Prior Crossing, a housing development for homeless young people on University Avenue in St. Paul.Meanwhile, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota hopes to build a "Center for Changing self storageives" project in Duluth, mirroring an existing facility in Minneapolis.In the case of Prior Crossing's proponents, "their anxiety level went up a little bit when this project was announced, and they're afraid they're going to get bumped," Hausman said.With about $3 billion in requests for the 2014 bonding bill, Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to propose about $1 billion in projects.APPEASING NEIGHBORSAs for the residents calling Mahoney with questions about the plan, he's been admittedly short on answers."This has really been handled poorly," said Mahoney, who said he learned of the plan a week ago through the Capitol rumor mill. "Nobody has stepped up to have a conversation with the neighborhood associations, or the politicians. ... You would think they would talk to the legislator in the district."Mahoney said he met with a longtime Payne Avenue business owner "whose shoulders just sagged" when he learned of the proposal. "I guess I want to know if they looked at Crocus Hill, or Highland Park, or Merriam Park, or anyplace else, before they put one more social service provider on the East Side," Mahoney said.Added Ramsey County's Ortega: "We have a long history in certain neighborhoods where we keep concentrating the poverty."The county, which will be expected to provide social services for the project, is generally supportive of the idea of providing an alternative to Dorothy Day, Ortega said. But questions about the location, and the types of services, still need to be sorted out."The concentration of poverty is not a positive, and we need to take a good look at how we do the best practices, and deliver the best services," he said.NEW WAY TO HELPIf approved by state lawmakers, the project's first phase would be built near the Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center off Lafayette Road, not far from the Union Gospel Mission.A five-level building would provide a 320-person emergency shelter on the first floor and 150 single-occupancy rooms or efficiency apartments above it. An adjoining Connection Center building would provide job counseling, meals and social services to the homeless.Pamela Davis, a Dorothy Day client who said she takes online classes and needs help with her resume, said programs such as job training have been needed."Just because we're homeless doesn't mean we don't want to work," she said.If funding become available, that phase could be complete by the end of 2017. A second phase calls for construction of 135 apartments to replace the current Dorothy Day Center and neighboring Catholic Charities' Mary Hall and St. Christopher Place.It would also preserve 226 existing affordable housing units nearby.John Dulin, a former union carpenter who has become a regular at Dorothy Day, said clients were told about the expansion plans by Catholic Charities managers not long ago, and he's interested in learning details."I want to see more," Dulin said.Gerry Lauer, program manager for the Dorothy Day Center, said Mary Hall and St. Christopher Place provide a variety of men's housing, including shelter space and federally funded public housing, as well as a floor dedicated to clients of Ramsey County Human Services who have mental health issues.He sees a need to reorganize, better separating distinct uses while grouping similar needs together.The top two floors of Mary Hall provide 75 public housing units, while three bottom floors provide transitional housing, mental health housing and a 25-man emergency shelter.At St. Christopher Place, which has 12 to 15 public housing apartments, "they're the less vulnerable folks," Lauer said. "They've kind of progressed through the system, and they're one step away from market-rate housing."Frederick Melo can be reached at 651-228-2172.

By Rebecca Lo in Hong Kongsundayed@chinadaily.mini storagecom.cnWong Nai Chung Road is known for being the path to happiness: It surrounds Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Happy Valley racecourse where, every Wednesday, punters try their luck at a ticket to financial freedom.Many people on their way to watch the races are oblivious to the four cemeteries along the western side of Wong Nai Chung. Here, in the Muslim Cemetery, St. Michael Catholic Cemetery, Hong Kong Cemetery and Parsee Cemetery, the history of the city is written across crumbling gravestones and mausoleums, forever hushed next to all the racing action.Walkin is hoping to change that by bringing locals and visitors seeking in-depth knowledge of unusual sites. Founded this summer by four friends who love and know their city well, the group offers 120- to 150-minute themed and district-based walking tours.All the founders double as guides and have day jobs throughout the week. Walkin is currently operated only over the weekends, with a rotating schedule of different tours.From Monday through Friday, Paul Chan works in finance; Chow Chung-wah writes for travel publications, including Lonely Planet; Dora Choi is a television producer; and Haider Kikabhoy is an editor and translator.Once Saturday dawns, the team turns into walking and talking vessels for obscure facts and did-you-know commentaries, unveiling hidden corners of the city to budding history buffs. In just a few short months since their inception, Walkin has risen to become TripAdvisor’s number 12 of 98 activities in Hong Kong.I joined Walkin’s inaugural cemeteries tour, held on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Our group assembled in the lobby of the Cosmopolitan Hotel at the very end of Queen’s Road East, and Chow was our guide.“Happy Valley isn’t happy because of the racetrack,” she begins. “It is a euphemism for our final resting place.”Our group consisted of tourists, expats and locals who trouped after her as she led us to Ho儲存g Kong Cemetery’s entrance. Once within its gates, the sounds of nearby traffic along Wong Nai Chung and Canal roads receded and we were surrounded by the peace and tranquility of its well-manicured gardens.That couldn’t be said about the actual grave sites. Many of the older ones were sadly neglected, as the cemetery housed expats including tai pans and missionaries from Hong Kong’s infancy. There were women who died during childbirth or who fell during the plague of 1894. I spotted a few familiar names like Pottinger and pointed them out to Kikabhoy.“It’s an unusual surname, so he was most likely related to our first colonial governor Henry Pottinger (1789-1856),” agrees Kikabhoy.“The Hong Kong government takes care of the cemetery’s grounds, but it is up to the deceased’s descendents to take care of the graves themselves,” Chow notes, as she continued the walk. “You can see that many of the headstones have eroded over time — many of these people probably don’t have relatives who live in Hong Kong anymore.”On another tour, the theme was urban myths and aimed to expose some of the city’s most popular legends. “We use the term myth loosely,” Kikabhoy says, as he proceeds to tell tall tales about how popular culture relates to each of the sites we’re visiting.We started at the Hopewell Center and moved onto places like the 1937 Wanchai market with The Zenith, a new residential tower, grafted on top of it. We moved onto the neoclassical 1920s Grade 1 historical building Blue House before climbing up the hill to Pak Tai Temple.“This temple includes a chamber that pays homage to Bao Zheng, an 11th century Chinese government official who still stands as a symbol for justice,” says Kikabhoy, drawing connections between the architectural gems we were looking at to how we live our lives today. “As recently as last night, he was being depicted on TVB serials.”if you goCheck Walkin’s website for upcoming tour dates and times. .walkin.hk.迷你倉

Survey finds that even those who are less trusting are keen to volunteer or donateMost Singaporeans do not trust others easily, but their levels of involvement in volunteer work and charity-giving do not differ much from the rest who feel that most people can be trusted.倉These were the follow-up findings by two dons from the National University of Singapore Business School based on a previously released 2011 survey.Close to 70 per cent of respondents believed they "can never be too careful" when interacting with others, while the rest thought "most people can be trusted", according to the analysis conducted last month.From the group of respondents who were less trusting of others, 35 per cent of them often donated money to charity, while a quarter of them (25 per cent) often volunteered.In comparison, the figures for the group who said most people can be trusted were 40 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively - a margin of difference of just around 5 percentage points.Some studies in the West have shown that those who are more trusting of others tend to have higher levels of civic engagement such as doing volunteer work.Associate Professor Tan Soo Jiuan, who co-wrote the report, told The Sunday Times: "These findings were intriguing to us at first, as it showed that despite a low propensity to trust, they were not that different from those who are more trusting, when it involved giving in terms of time or money."She and Dr Siok Kuan Tambyah had previously conducted a mini storageurvey of 1,500 Singaporeans in 2011, in areas ranging from perceptions of their well-being to the values they find important.In their latest findings, they also found out that those with a religion or are more satisfied with their lives tend to give their time and money to charity more often.For instance, 38 per cent of those with a religion often donate to charity, compared to 21 per cent of those without a religion.Also, 34 per cent of those with "high" levels of life satisfaction said they often find time to be involved in community work, compared to 25 per cent and 12 per cent of those with "medium" and "low" levels of life satisfaction, respectively.Prof Tan said the link between life satisfaction and civic engagement could also apply the other way around. She said that those who volunteer or donate regularly are more likely to be satisfied with their lives.Her comment is supported by the conclusion of a separate survey commissioned by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre.Singapore Management University professor David Chan, who was the consultant for the survey, said in October: "Happy people are more likely to give, but people who give also tend to become happier."Prof Tan agreed.

美國啟動退市機制，迷利倉港股偷步沽貨連跌三周，惟有一批趕尾閘上市的新股依然搶鏡，上周四便有5隻齊齊掛牌，到周五再有6隻上市，包括多次只聞樓梯響的光大銀行（06818）。按會計師行安永指，今年共有96家公司在本港上市，共集資一千六百多億元，較去年大幅上升八成。新股連珠爆發，個別抽中的股民有錢賺，惟短暫「燦爛煙花」過後，這批勝在無蟹貨的新股，便到短兵相接、實力比併的時候。今期《投資動向》找來四個不同行業新股作比較，一齊箇中尋寶。今年上市集資額較大股份鳳凰醫療憧憬併購三中全會決定啟動社保和醫療改革，現時公立醫院幾佔體系逾八成半，私人醫院佔比只為小數的醫院市場，未來增長潛力巨大。鳳凰醫療（01515）十一月底上市，是現時上市公司中唯一一隻純醫院概念股份，以北京為業務基地。截至六月底共有11間綜合醫院、1家中醫院及28家社會診所。內地新一輪經濟改革，鼓勵民間資本進入包括醫療在內的市場，鳳凰已有經營私家醫院的經驗，是內地最大民營醫院，集資所得將用作網絡擴展，在北京以外的地方找尋落腳點，未來或有併購進行。醫療需求增加內地消費力提升，國民對醫療等基本需求，國營的公立醫院未必能完全滿足，尤其是一班有消費力的中產或富有階層，質素、管理較佳，而收費又高的私人醫療市場實在大有可為，佔整體醫療市場的比例有機會提升至兩成以上。鳳凰醫療上市首日勁升35%後，續試高位，最高升至12.82元後橫行整固，現價估值高，但未來市場步入高增長階段，併購壯大，有望再穿上次高位。耐世特業務料轉佳耐世特（01316）是汽車轉向及動力傳動產品供應商，轉向產品排全球第五大。一直依賴出口市場，著名車廠通用汽車、福特、快意、佳士拿及標緻雪鐵龍皆是其客戶。近兩年公司業績倒退，上半年盈利再跌1.2%，似乎未受惠北美市場汽車銷售復甦，其中一個原因是車廠為求谷銷量提供優惠，影響到毛利率，但隨經濟進一步復甦，車市復甦持續下，上游供應商業務將見好轉。耐世特前身於百多年前成立，早年收歸於通用汽車名下，輾轉迷你倉手落在太平洋世紀（北京）汽車零部件公司手上，太平洋世紀其後又被國企中航工業子公司購入，變身為國企一員，是既具歷史又有技術的汽車零件商，因現時中國市場佔其業務份額僅5.5%，未來增長空間大。海螺創業估值仍低海螺創業（00586）上周四上市，是一家投資控股及節能環保解決方案的大型綜合供貨商，透過間接持有海螺集團而持有海螺水泥（00914）約23.1%，亦持有15.7%在內地上市的蕪湖海螺。野村估計，未來三年單是持有這兩隻股份，便可為每股盈利帶來複合年增長13%。水泥生產餘熱發電供貨方面，公司是內地第二大，佔市場份額21%，海螺水泥是其最大客戶。由於內地不斷收緊環保要求，海創正計劃豐富節能環保解決方案品類，開始綠色建材、如CCA板及木絲水泥板，是環保且成本低的建材，並計劃引入歐洲生產設備。按其市盈率，上周五收報16.82元，約為一二年市盈率17倍，較同業股14.5至39倍相比，屬下限水平，未反映公司背景及規模，仲有上升水位。IGG耐心等候上車IGG（08002）是全球網絡遊戲開發商及營運商，截至今年十月底，共提供30款遊戲。4G落實，智能手機的功能發展加快，手遊市場持續高速增長，今年上市的雲遊（00484）、博雅互動（00434）都是遊戲商，IGG選擇創業板上市，近兩年錄得虧損，但具新加坡背景，又引入DYNAM JAPAN（06889）為基礎投資者。另外，在策略股東名單上有淡馬錫及光大證券。上市時表示今年已推出9款手機遊戲，未來計劃每年開發20至30隻遊戲，每隻遊戲研發費用50萬美元。手遊具競爭力擁較強的研發團隊，手遊支援多種語言，具競爭力，其中所開發的「城寶爭霸」在香港Android遊戲收入排名第四，是最受歡迎的遊戲。市場相信，手機遊戲等科網概念繼今年熱炒後，明年隨新技術及新遊戲推出，料可延續升勢，投資者可繼續留意，惟內地文化部現正整治手機網絡市場，涉及賭博或誘導用戶付費及未經批准擅自經營的企業，消息不利，投資者要耐心等候時機，搵位上車。自存倉
