Hong Kong’s first Chinese female jockey charged with false accounting

A former operational director of a private healthcare centre, also the first Chinese female jockey in Hong Kong, was charged with falsifying documents to get a commission of about HK$3,800.
The ICAC said on Wednesday that the 46-year-old defendant, Sherie Lacorte Kong Pik-wai, has falsified sales records and receipts to deceive a healthcare centre of commissions from March to April 2020.

Kong was charged with three counts of false accounting on Tuesday.

In the material time, Kong falsified the sales records of Cardiax Lab, a private healthcare centre providing cardiovascular check-up services.

She also made two agent commission receipts purportedly to show that one of her friends had referred 13 clients to Cardiax Lab and had received and was entitled to agent commissions totalling about HK$3,800.

The ICAC launched an investigation after receiving a corruption complaint, and found the friend Kong mentioned had never referred any clients, signed any agent commission receipts or received any commissions.

Kong was released on bail, pending her appearance in the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday for the plea.

Kong became Hong Kong's first female professional jockey in 1993 and retired in 1998, after which she also worked as a commentator for horse racing and converted to the marketing industry.
