Public can monitor official cars

Ou Shaokun, better known as Uncle Ou among residents in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, has voluntarily supervised the use of government cars in the city. His efforts are praiseworthy but he should not be fighting alone against the misuse of government vehicles, says an article in China Youth Daily. Excerpts:

The 60-year-old uses his cell phone to take photos of the license plates of government cars being misused by civil servants. He has been doing this for six years, despite the threats he receives from rule breakers.
