First question. Lands Reserved for Building Small Houses 1. MR DENNIS KWOK (in Cantonese): President, under the small house policy, a New Territories indigenous male villager over 18 years old is entitled to one concessionary grant during his lifetime to build one small house. The Government indicated in October 2012 that, of the 1 300 hectares of idle land, 932 hectares had been zoned for "Village Type Development", and the planned use of such type of sites was mainly for the development of small houses by indigenous villagers. On the other hand, the general public have keen demand for residential housing (including public and private housing), but scarcity of land is a major factor restraining housing supply. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) of the estimated current number of New Territories indigenous villagers eligible for applying for building small houses, and the area of government lands reserved for building small houses; (2) whether it has drawn up any plan to cope with the situation where there are not enough government lands for building small houses; if it has, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; and (3) whether it has plans to formulate policies and measures to reduce the area and proportion of lands planned for building small houses, so as to release more land for developing public and private housing; if it does, of the details; if not, the reasons for that? SECRETARY FOR DEVELOPMENT (in Cantonese): Good morning, President and Honourable Members. President, since this question is rather complicated, my main reply will thus be about one minute longer than usual. 1626 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 18 November 2015 President, the Small House Policy has been implemented since 1972. Under the Small House Policy, a male indigenous villager aged 18 years old or above who is descended through the male line from a resident in 1898 of a recognized village in the New Territories may apply to the authority once during his lifetime for permission to build for himself a small house on a suitable site within his own village. There are in total 642 recognized villages approved in the territory. In general, land suitable for building small houses is confined to areas within Village Environs (VE). As a general rule, VE refers to a 300-feet radius from the edge of the last village type house built before the introduction of the Small House Policy on 1 December 1972. Applications for building small houses within this area by eligible indigenous villagers may be considered. Separately, the "Village Type Development" zone ("V" zone) is a land use zoning under the statutory plans drawn up in accordance with the Town Planning Ordinance (Cap. 131). Generally speaking, the planning intention of the "V" zone, which covers recognized villages, is to designate the boundaries of both existing recognized villages and areas of land considered suitable for village expansion. The land within this zone is primarily intended for development of small houses by indigenous villagers, which usually overlaps with the VE. Consideration may also be given to an application if the proposed small house site lies outside a VE but is located within a "V" zone on the relevant statutory plan, provided that the "V" zone concerned is surrounded by or overlaps with the VE. As regards sites within a VE but outside a "V" zone, depending on the requirements of the land use zone on which the proposed small house site lies, applications for planning permission may be submitted to the Town Planning Board. Regarding the area of unleased or unallocated Government land within the "V" zones, the Government has clarified in its reply to a Legislative Council question on 17 October 2012 that the relevant figures were obtained simply by subtracting the leased or allocated areas under respective land use zonings from the total areas covered by such zones on the statutory plans.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)2545/06-07(05) www.savethestreetmarket.com www.savethestreetmarket.com is a campaign focused on reversing the disintegration of street markets. The objective is to ensure sustainable, vibrant, safe and hygienic open air street markets in Hong Kong for the enjoyment of residents and visitors, commercially viable for hawkers, and integrated into the fabric of any future development. The street markets are dying – Act now! The street markets will disappear unless immediate action is taken: 1. Since 1970 the Authority has adopted the policy of NOT issuing new hawker licenses; 2. The resumption of properties by the Urban Renewal Authority will eliminate the support facilities and disrupt the street market operations. How to make the street markets a success Five factors are critical for street markets to be able to function in Hong Kong: 1. Areas allocated as Hawker Bazaars with Hawker Permitted Places; 2. Hawker licences; 3. Area management (regular cleansing, traffic control); 4. Support facilities (storage, electricity); 5. Continuity (Minimal disruption). Urgent action is essential Time is running out for the licenced hawkers as many are now old people. Moreover, the URA is under pressure to commence soonest, as many property owners have waited for their compensation since projects were announced by its predecessor, the Land Development Corporation. Urgent action and support is required from the community, District Councils, URA, FEHD and Transport Department to ensure healthy street markets by designating areas as permanent open-air hawker bazaars, by accepting fresh applications and issuing new hawker licences, and by including storage facilities at reasonable rent in the development plans for adjoining properties.

    The Hong Kong Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Page 1 of 44 The Hong Kong Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (This market survey was produced by the USAID-funded Agribusiness Development Project (ADP) in Indonesia. It was authored by Henry Harmon, Marketing Advisor, in December 1994 in Jakarta. Note that tables for the sections "Notes of Fruit Imports" and "Notes on Vegetables Imports" are not included on this site due to size limitations. ) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | MARKET OVERVIEW | DOMESTIC PRODUCTION | FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE IMPORTS | MAJOR MARKET SEGMENTS | CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION | TRANSPORTATION | PRICING AND MARGINS | PACKAGING | TERMS OF TRADE | QUALITY STANDARDS AND FOOD SAFETY REGULATIONS | PHYTOSANITARY REQUIREMENTS | NOTES ON STATISTICAL SOURCES | NOTES ON VEGETABLE IMPORTS | NOTES ON FRUIT IMPORTS | LIST OF HONG KONG IMPORTERS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Every day the population of Hong Kong consumes about 950 tons of rice, 1,020 tons of vegetables, 7,610 pigs, 270 tons of poultry, 570 tons of fish and 1,700 tons of fruit. As only 7% of Hong Kong's land area is suitable for farming, local production is especially geared to the production of high quality fresh vegetables and flowers, but even so, farmers are only able to supply less than one quarter of the vegetables and a lesser amount of fruits. The territory imported some HK$ 44,986 million ( U.S.$ 1 = HK$ 7.75)worth of foodstuffs in 1993, and the major imports were fish (HK$ 10,426 million), fruit (HK $6,878 million), meat (HK$ 5,665 million), and vegetables (HK$ 4,228 million). Hong Kong's External Trade Statistics reflect imports of vegetables and fruits at HK$ 11,000,000,000 for 1993.

  • HK Comedian and Actress Lydia Sum Dies of Cancer 15:07, February 19, 2008
    HK comedian and actress Lydia Sum dies of cancer 15:07, February 19, 2008 Lydia Shum Din-Ha, known as Fei-fei, or Fatty, and one of Hong Kong's most popular comedian actresses, died of liver tumor and other complications on Tuesday morning in a hospital in Hong Kong. She was 60 years old. Veteran Hong Kong actress Lydia Sum, known for her iconic black-rimmed glasses and heavy build, died early Tuesday. She was reportedly 61. The cause of death wasn't immediately clear, but Sum had been suffering from a bile duct condition. Born in Shanghai in 1947, Sum made her movie debut at age 13. She acted in more than 100 movies in Hong Kong and hosted more than 5,000 episodes of variety shows. Shum was born in July, 1947 into a well-off large family in Shanghai and ranked the fifth among the family's eight children. She made her film debut in 1960, joined the Hong Kong- based Shaw Brothers, a famous film company, as a child actress and rose to stardom with the free-to-air television broadcaster TVB's variety show Enjoy Yourself Tonight, which was hugely popular in Hong Kong for over 20 years. With her signature smile, dark-rimmed glasses and comic hairstyle, Shum established herself as a comic and dramatic actress. Her successful career spanning almost half a century also included the role as a TV hostess. Shum married Hong Kong actor and singer Adam Cheng Siu-chow in 1985 after they lived together years. The two split up in 1987, only eight months after their daughter and only child Joyce was born.
