Supplementary to question No. 8
in the LegCo Meeting on 4.12.85
Mr. Hilton Cheong-leen:- For how many years from now would it be
considered there is no need to review whether or not the present
system should be changed?
Secretary for Transport:- Sir, I don't really have much to add to
what I have just said. There is no need to change this system.
To do so would be extremely costly; we would have to rebuild
most of our roads because of the camber and geometry of the roads;
we would have to change many of our public buildings for the
ingress and exists; and this will cost hundreds and millions of
dollars and quite frankly we have other more pressing priorities.
