The Standard is stamped 10-08-2026 00:29 HKT and says Customs arrested the passenger "on Sunday" and that he "will appear at West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on Monday". The Sunday before 10 August is 9 August, which the item uses.
Quantities
The article gives "about 6 kilograms of suspected cannabis buds worth about HK$1.1 million". The value is the customs estimate and is not stored.

A report dated 6 August of a mainland passenger arrested at the same airport with about 6 kg of suspected cannabis buds is recorded as its own news item. That report gives a different age, value, date and route, so the two reports describe different arrests. Another airport arrest on 7 August, of two people with 9.8 kg, is also recorded separately.
