The most recent Streetview shot shows that this place is now occupied by a (surprise surprise) jewellery shop. If anyone can remember what Millie's used to sell, please let me know in the comments.
There is also an earlier bit of the same scene that looks to have been filmed further along the road towards the junction with Temple Street because it looks as though the Liberty Theatre can be seen in the background (showing Rocky!) which puts the filming year of The Heroin Busters firmly in 1977 (Rocky was released in HK on May 19th, 1977).

Hi Phil,
If Millies is concerned, it is always Ladies' shoes and bags.

Thanks Thomas. Good to know.
Hi Phil,
Before the jewellery chain took over, it used to be a Watson's. On the other hand, about a bit more than a decade ago, someone seemed to have acquired the basement, re-branding it into one of those miniature shopping centres with very small store fronts. (https://goo.gl/maps/6yk9nSzbqhP2) It seemed to be caught in the wake of SARS and was a major flop. I think it may still be vacant these days despite many of the individual slots had been sold with quite a lot of the individual investors crying foul.
