PRESS RELEASE
(For Immediate Release)

(Hong Kong, 25th March 2002) Following misleading recent coverage in RTHK's "The Hong Kong Connection" programme broadcast on TVB Jade on 24th March 2002, PARKnSHOP wishes to reassure that it has never imported any chilled chicken from Mainland China.

We regret that RTHK decided to proceed with this report without checking their facts with us which had led to this unfortunate position.

PARKnSHOP does however support the upcoming change in legislation that will allow chilled chicken to be imported from China. We are ensuring that when this legislation is passed, we will be able to bring the freshest and most hygienic chicken to our supermarkets and superstores to enable us to continue to offer our customers quality, value and freshness.
