CLEAREES THANK HOUSING STAFF FOR
Effort And Hardwork
A group of about 10 former tenants of the Ma Chai Hang Licensed
Area, who have all been accommodated in public housing estates, called at
the Housing Department this (Friday) morning to thank Clearance and
Applications staff for their hard work and effort in meeting their requests.
As a gesture of their appreciation, Mr Leung Kam-chiu and Madam
Tam Fun, representing the former tenants of the licensed area, presented a
cup as a memento to the Housing Department.
The cup was accepted by two Senior Housing Managers, Mr Chiu Shing
of Clearance Division and Mrs Joy Au of Applications Section.
Inscribed on the cup are the Chinese characters for "Diligence and
consideration for the people",
In accepting the cup, Mr Chiu expressed the hope that all former
tenants concerned were now happily settled in their new homes,
The Ma Chai Hang Licensed Area was first set up in November 1967.
In 1972, all the tenants were moved into housing estates and the site was
re-used as a licensed area.
In May this year, the tenants were informed that they would be
moved into public housing estates as part of the Housing Authority's
programme to clear all old licensed areas which are without electricity and
individual water supplies.
