[A shining example to show how big is the gap bet. the rich and the poor in China<ng>]--"Masked man pays $910,000 for lucky licence plate" Monday February 21 2005 14:12 IST Reuters HONG KONG: A mysterious man in a mask drove off with the most expensive vehicle licence plate sold in Hong Kong since 1997, shelling out HK$7.1 million (US$910,000) at a weekend auction, a Hong Kong newspaper reported on Monday. The man, who wore a surgical mask and would not identify himself, left the auction immediately after winning the bid for licence plate number 12, which sounds like "certainly easy" in Cantonese, the South China Morning Post said. The price was the highest for a licence plate in Hong Kong since the British colony was returned to China in 1997 and the third highest on record, the paper said. The most expensive licence plate, number 9, was sold to tycoon Albert Yeung for HK$13 million in 1994. The number nine sounds like "ever lasting" in Cantonese. newindpress.com
