Sir,
In desperation, I am petitioning to you since I appear to be getting no help not even understanding of my predicament.
Briefly, I am being evicted from my home and place of work,
I have been living in Taan Kwai Tauen, Yuen Long, New Territories for about 20 years In 1961, The District Officer, Yuen Long gave me a Permit which I was told was required if I wished to continue quarrying on the site. The fees gradually increased from $2,000.- per annum to $13,400.- in 1970. My home although older was only put on Permit in 1963. It is claimed that "No Permit has ever been issued" " to allow me to live on site. This is absurd. Mine is a family business run by myself, my two boys and their wives. In addition we employ from 4 to 20 workers depending on business requirement. When I began to have grand- children and business was good I purchased a flat in town; my present address; part of the family always lived in Taan Kwai Tsuen except in the last two years when staff from The District Officer kept insisting I must vacate. Even then we could not oblige fully because of our property and remnant of our business
I am now told that we are living and working there illegally because the Permits were cancelled arbitrarily and in a very beaurocratic fashion.
Since 1971 I have been resisting efforts to evict me and my family. I have pointed out that I was required to obtain access before issue of Permit to me. I have asked for compensation, but this is now denied and I told "nothing is known of this". How frustrating?
Whilst I would agree that my 20 years sub-lease with leasees for the access is a private matter, I would not have negotiated this if not for the fact that the District Officer insisted that I must have guarranteed access before issue of Permit. I had also pointed out in my many petitions that the access I obtained was the only possible access to the quarry.
