ONE OF THE FIRST PUBLIC HOUSING ESTATES, SHEK KIP MEI, TODAY CELEBRATED THE COMPLETION OF A REDEVELOPMENT SCHEME WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A MUCH IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
OFFICIATING AT THE CELEBRATIONS WAS MR LI FOOK-KAU, WHO SOME 30 YEARS AGO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE PLANNING OF REHOUSING FOR VICTIMS OF THE BIG SHEK KIP MEI FIRE WHICH STARTED HONG KONG'S PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAMME.
+THE IMPROVED LIVING ENVIRONMENT AT THE SHEK KIP MEI REDEVELOPED ESTATE IS A FAR CRY FROM THAT OF THE OLD DAYS, + SAID MR LI.
