A Hongkonger who was lured to South-East Asia and held captive at a “scam farm” in Myanmar since October returned to the city on Monday, as the government revealed that a security official would remain in Bangkok to continue efforts to rescue 10 other residents stranded in similar fraud centres in the region.
