HONG KONG: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government raised travel alert for southeastern Myanmar to red on Friday (Jan 17), following a number of cases of Hong Kong residents being lured to Southeast Asian countries and forced to work at scam farms.
Of the government's three-tier outward travel alert system, red is the middle level, meaning that there is a significant threat involved in travelling to the place and that people should avoid making non-essential trips.
