Laishang Disassemble Mall Su Weiwen: In line with the law can not interfere
According to the news of the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po newspaper today, the government has decided to divest its 17 shopping malls to foreign consortia. Acting Secretary for Transport and Housing Su Wei-wen said yesterday that the government can not interfere with the legal rights of property owners as long as they comply with the law and the lease provisions. Similarly, as long as the owners concerned do not violate the above covenants with the HA, the HA can not and will not interfere with the day-to-day operations and business decisions of the owners concerned, including the sale of properties.
Operation completely independent of the government
At a verbal questioning session of the Legislative Council, Tan Man-ho, a member of the Legislative Council of the Civic, yesterday expressed his concern over the property under the “SPLIT” demolition. He said: “Many public housing tenants expressed their concern that the new owners of shopping malls will substantially raise the rent of shops so that shops selling daily necessities will be replaced by luxury shops so that residents will need to buy daily necessities across the board.” Institutionalists are equally concerned about relevant issues “The spirit of the HA’s ordinance is matched with markets and all aspects so that more than one million people who live in public housing can live in peace.”
However, Su Weiwen said that as long as the law does not violate the relevant requirements, the government will not intervene. He said: “As long as private owners meet the requirements of the law and the terms of the government lease, the government can not interfere with the rights of property owners to use their properties legally and their business decisions.” He also said that “LeadWorld” has been a privately-run entity since its listing , The government and the HA do not have any units that hold “LinkShow” and the operating principles and daily operation of LinkShow are completely independent of the government and the HA.
The group urges the public to appeal
In addition, monitoring the Public Market Development Alliance and the Community Development Front together with a large number of Legislative Council members yesterday petitioned the government to face the public’s demand and pay attention to the decision of “Lead Watch” to demolish its properties. CHAN Shu-chih, the public-partnership supervisor of the Public Markets Development Group, said she had sent an open letter to the Secretary for Transport and Housing, saying that Fan Chen immediately met with the new owners and explained to the public what measures the Authority should take to ensure that the residents in the estates will have adequate facilities to protect their basic living needs.
