HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR
Visits Aberdeen And Ap Lei Chau
His Excellency the Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, spent about
three hours this afternoon seeing for himself the industrial and other
development in the Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau area.
During his extensive tour, the Governor inspected market facilities,
shipyards, road projects and a 199-year-old temple. He also took a
sampan ride among the 5,000 odd fishing and squatter boats, floating
restaurants and pleasure craft in Aberdeen harbour.
Sir Murray was accompanied on the visit by the City District
Commissioner (Hong Kong), Mr. David T.K. Wong; the Director of Lands
& Survey, Mr. R.C. Clarke; and the City District Officer (Western),
Mr. Rafael Hui.
He started the tour by going up to the roof of a Shek Pai. Wan
Resettlement Estate block, where, from a vantage point overlooking the
entire area, he was briefed on the general planning of development in
Aberdeen.
Later, he proceeded by jeep to the old Aberdeen market. He saw
the usual marketing activities as he walked through the crowded area and
chatted with stall holders and shoppers. The market was built more than
60 years ago and plans are now on hand for its reprovisioning.
