失業工程師 呃54元開飯
訛稱天星售票機無退款 騙找贖 2010年3月18日
廣          告

【明報專訊】曾月入逾萬元的助理工程師，SARS後失業致債台高築，2006年破產，年初因沒錢開飯，連續兩天沒吃東西後，一日內4次在港九渡輪碼頭向天星小輪職員訛稱自助售票機故障要求退款，成功騙取54元買食物果腹，兼「免費」遊船河。他昨承認欺詐罪，裁判官慨嘆年輕人寧願犯案，卻不肯屈就任職低收入工種。

3度成功騙款 昨認罪

天星小輪有限公司發言人表示，案件已進入司法程序，不便評論，但公司已向員工講解有關機器故障時的既定檢查程序。

被告鍾學騰(29歲)，昨承認3項欺詐及1項企圖欺詐，暫准保釋外出，等候感化官及社會服務令報告判刑。控罪指他於今年1月14日，分別在尖沙嘴天星渡輪碼頭、中環新天星渡輪碼頭及灣仔天星渡輪碼頭內，虛假表示將20元紙幣放入自助售票機，但售票機發生故障，要求職員退款，從而每次獲得18元找贖及一張價值2元的船票(天星小輪下層票價)，總共騙去54元。

失業半年 兩日無開飯

辯方昨求情表示，中五學歷的被告，自幼喪父，母親之後將他交由祖母照顧。被告指曾任機器繪圖員，後來當上助理工程師，月入逾萬元，惟公司倒閉後，一直未能覓得長工，2006年破產後，一直依靠母親及祖母供養。案發時被告失業半年，已兩日無錢開飯，但又不欲長期向家人索取生活費始犯案。被告並無同謀，手法不精明，涉案金額少，請求法庭輕判。

官斥被告不肯屈就

主任裁判官郭啟安昨斥責被告行為愚蠢，生活一團糟，個人理財不善，認為失業不是藉口：「年輕人找工不難，便利店、快餐店都可以呀，但你不肯屈就，現在犯法好高尚咩？」郭官續指被告將留下案底，斥責其「民事誠信」已破產，現在「刑事誠信」亦破產，最後語重心長地叮囑：「你要仔細考慮往後日子如何度過。」案件將於本月31日宣判。

案情指出，今年1月14日下午2時，被告於尖沙嘴天星渡輪碼頭訛稱自助售票機故障，入了20元紙幣後無法出票，小輪職員遂向其發放18元現金及一張價值2元的船票。被告變相無本生利，及免費持票乘船到中環。被告食髓知味，先兩次重施故伎，均成功獲利，直至在灣仔天星渡輪碼頭，職員起疑僅抄下其個人資料，其等候退款消息。有職員事後翻看閉路電視，揭發被告4次都沒有入錢，立即報警。警誡下被告承認一時貪心犯案。

Yes, there are so many factors that you can't determine at the interview.  That's why I think it's ...

we shouldn't reject someone just because he's overqualified, but we prefer the one just fit the job. and there is no guarantee the overqualified person will stay for 6 months or longer.  they may find another job next week.  the training may need a week or so, but it takes time for a newbie become experienced person.   posting a job/interview a person cost time & money too.

what about his grandma? he eats nothing and also tell grandma not to eat anything? to feed his 骨氣﹖starve grandma to die? as the judge said: now you have committed crime, isn't it more 無尊嚴?

I agreed with yuusaku, 唔申請尊嚴 is not equal to 有骨氣﹐有骨氣 should try his every best to find a job, take up the responsibily to feed the family. 所謂大丈夫能屈能伸﹐甚麼工都應該做,even with very humble salary or 出賣努力. And also EI or welfare is a system that we are qualify and eligible to get, esp EI, we have contributed every month from our hard earned money, I will definitely apply if I need to, why not?

i don't think 申請綜援 = 冇骨氣
it is from the taxpayer's money, if the applicant ever paid any tax, i don't think it is shameful to apply.   unless that guy decides to live his life on EI forever...but i don't think the system allows that anyway.

唔係個個香港人死都唔申請綜援既, 佢只係一個個別例子.
有骨氣唔係唔好, 但骨氣唔可以當飯食, 為左填飽個肚, 放棄少少骨氣都係一個權宜之計吧.
