Tidak ada saksi mata. Polisi Metropolitan melaporkan bahwa dua penumpangnya dibawa ke St. Mary’s di Paddington, tempat mereka ditangani untuk luka-luka serius tetapi tidak kritis. Nama pemilik kendaraan belum diumumkan, menunggu hasil penyelidikan lebih lanjut. —SAAH LYRE, he London Chronicle www.facebook.com/indonesiapustaka www.facebook.com/indonesiapustaka Prolog: Bandara Internasional Beijing Capital • 9 SEPTEMBER 2012, Pukul 19.45 ”Tunggu dulu—Aku di kelas satu. Bawa aku ke kelas satu,” Edison Cheng berkata menghina kepada pramugara yang mengantar ke tempat duduk- nya. ”Ini kelas satu, Mr. Cheng,” pria berseragam biru laut yang tersetrika rapi itu menegaskan. ”Tapi mana kabin-kabinnya?” Eddie bertanya, masih bingung. ”Mr. Cheng, sayangnya British Airways tidak memiliki kabin pribadi di kelas satu*.1Tetapi jika boleh, izinkan saya menunjukkan beberapa itur khusus di kursi Anda—” ”Tidak, tidak, tidak usah,” Eddie melemparkan tas kulit burung unta- nya ke kursi seperti anak sekolah yang merajuk. Sialan betul—pengorban- an yang harus kulakukan demi bank hari ini! Edison Cheng, ”Pangeran *Malangnya bagi Eddie, hanya Emirates, Etihad Airways, dan Singapore Airlines yang me- miliki kabin-kabin pribadi dalam Airbus A380 mereka. Emirates bahkan memiliki dua kamar mandi Shower Spa dengan bilik pancuran yang mewah untuk penumpang kelas satu mereka. (Catat ini, anggota Mile High Club.) www.facebook.com/indonesiapustaka 12 CHINA RICH GIRLFRIEND Bankir Swasta” yang manja—terkenal di kolom-kolom sosial Hong Kong untuk gaya hidupnya yang penuh kesenangan, pakaiannya yang perlente, istrinya yang elegan (Fiona), anak-anaknya yang fotogenik, serta garis keturunan yang hebat (ibunya adalah Alexandra Young, dari Keluarga Young Singapura)—tidak terbiasa dengan ketidaknyamanan seperti ini. Lima jam yang lalu dia disela saat makan siang di Hong Kong Club, ber- gegas menaiki pesawat jet perusahaan ke Beijing, kemudian diburu-buru mengikuti penerbangan ke London ini. Sudah lama sekali dia tak pernah merasakan terhinanya terbang dengan pesawat komersial, tetapi Mrs. Bao ada dalam pesawat terkutuk ini, dan Mrs. Bao harus dilayani. Tetapi di mana persisnya wanita itu? Eddie berharap tempat duduknya tidak jauh, tapi kepala awak kabin mengatakan tidak ada orang dengan nama itu di kelas satu. ”Tidak, tidak, dia seharusnya ada di sini. Bisakah kau memeriksa mani- fes penerbangan atau apalah?” Eddie menuntut. Beberapa menit kemudian, Eddie diantar ke baris 37, kursi E di dalam pesawat—kelas ekonomi—tempat seorang wanita mungil dalam balutan turtleneck dari wol vicuña dan celana panjang lanel abu-abu duduk terjepit di antara dua penumpang. ”Mrs. Bao? Bao Shaoyen?” Eddie bertanya dalam bahasa Mandarin. Wanita itu menengadah dan tersenyum lemah. ”Apakah Anda Mr. Cheng?” ”Ya. Senang sekali bertemu dengan Anda, tetapi maaf kalau kita harus bertemu seperti ini.” Eddie tersenyum lega. Dia sudah menghabiskan delapan tahun terakhir mengurusi akun luar negeri keluarga Bao, tapi ke- luarga itu benar-benar penuh rahasia sehingga dia tidak pernah bertemu salah satu dari mereka sampai hari ini. Walaupun terlihat agak lelah, Bao Shaoyen jauh lebih cantik daripada yang dia bayangkan. Dengan kulit pu- tih, mata besar yang melengkung naik di ujungnya, dan tulang pipi tinggi yang ditonjolkan oleh tatanan rambut hitam kelam—diikat ekor kuda yang rendah dan ketat—dia tidak terlihat cukup tua untuk memiliki anak yang sedang kuliah pascasarjana. ”Mengapa Anda duduk di sini? Apakah ada kekeliruan?” desak Eddie. ”Tidak, aku selalu terbang dengan kelas ekonomi,” sahut Mrs. Bao. Eddie tidak dapat menyembunyikan ekspresi terkejutnya. Suami Mrs. www.facebook.com/indonesiapustaka KEVIN KWAN 13 Bao, Bao Gaoliang, adalah salah satu politisi top Beijing, dan terlebih lagi, dia mewarisi salah satu irma farmasi terbesar di Cina. Keluarga Bao bu- kan sekadar salah satu kliennya yang biasa, mereka adalah klien dengan jumlah kekayaan yang luar biasa besar. ”Hanya anak laki-lakiku yang terbang dengan kelas satu,” Bao Shaoyen menjelaskan, memahami ekspresi Eddie. ”Carlton bisa menyantap semua makanan Barat yang mewah itu, dan karena kuliahnya sangat berat, dia perlu banyak istirahat. Tapi bagiku percuma saja. Aku tidak menyentuh makanan pesawat, lagi pula aku tidak pernah bisa tidur selama penerbang- an jarak jauh.” Eddie harus menahan diri untuk tidak memutar bola mata. Khas Orang Cina Daratan! Mereka memboroskan setiap sen bagi Kaisar Kecil mereka dan menderita dalam diam. Yah, lihat saja jadinya seperti apa. Carlton Bao yang berusia 23 tahun seharusnya berada di Cambridge menyelesaikan di- sertasi pascasarjana, tapi malah menghabiskan malam sebelumnya dengan meniru ulah Pangeran Harry—menghabiskan £38.000 untuk tagihan bar di setengah lusin tempat hiburan malam di London, menghancurkan Ferrari barunya, merusak properti publik, dan nyaris menewaskan dirinya sendiri. Dan itu bahkan bukan bagian terburuk. Bagian terburuknya su- dah diinstruksikan secara spesiik kepada Eddie untuk tidak disampaikan kepada Bao Shaoyen. Eddie menghadapi masalah pelik. Dia harus segera membahas berba- gai rencana dengan Mrs. Bao, tapi dia lebih suka menjalani kolonoskopi ketimbang menghabiskan sebelas jam ke depan berkubang di kelas ekono- mi yang kumuh. Tuhan di surga, bagaimana jika ada yang mengenalinya? Foto Edison Cheng yang berjejal di kursi kelas ekonomi bakal menyebar luas dalam hitungan detik. Namun dengan enggan Eddie juga menyadari bahwa tidak pantas jika salah satu klien banknya yang paling penting te- tap duduk di kelas geladak sementara dia berada di depan, berselonjor di kursi yang bisa diluruskan, menyeruput konyak berumur dua puluh tahun. Dia mengamati anak muda berambut jabrik yang bersandar terlalu dekat ke Mrs. Bao di satu sisi, dan wanita tua yang menggunting kukunya ke dalam kantong muntah di sisi satunya, dan sebuah jalan keluar terbetik di benaknya. Eddie merendahkan suara dan berkata, ”Mrs. Bao, tentu saja saya de- www.facebook.com/indonesiapustaka 14 CHINA RICH GIRLFRIEND ngan senang hati akan bergabung dengan Anda di sini, tapi ada beberapa masalah sangat rahasia yang perlu kita diskusikan. Bolehkah saya mengatur tempat duduk untuk Anda di depan? Saya yakin bank akan berkeras agar saya memindahkan Anda ke kelas satu—atas biaya kami, tentu saja—dan kita bisa berbicara jauh lebih pribadi di sana.” ”Ya, mungkin bisa—jika bank memaksa,” Bao Shaoyen menjawab agak ragu-ragu. Setelah lepas landas, ketika minuman beralkohol sudah disajikan dan mereka berdua terlindung dengan nyaman dalam kursi kerung mewah yang berhadapan,

The paper will proceed to highlight the various conservation initiatives embarked upon by the Hong Kong SAR’s Development Bureau, concluding with a discussion of the bureau’s accomplishments and challenges for the future.

    File Ref.: DEVB/CS/CR6/5/284 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF Declaration of Ho Tung Gardens at 75 Peak Road as a Proposed Monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance INTRODUCTION After consultation with the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB)1, the Secretary for Development (SDEV), in her capacity as the Antiquities Authority under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance (Chapter 53) (the Ordinance), has decided to declare Ho Tung Gardens (as delineated at Annex A) as a proposed monument under section 2A(1) of the Ordinance. The declaration will be published in the Gazette on 28 January 2011. JUSTIFICATIONS Heritage and architectural value 2. Ho Tung Gardens is on the list of 1 444 historic buildings2 in Hong Kong. On 25 January 2011, AAB confirmed the Grade 1 status of Ho Tung Gardens, taking account of the assessment of an independent expert panel as well as the views and information received during the public consultation period on the proposed gradings of the 1 444 historic buildings. A Grade 1 historic building by definition is a “building of outstanding merit, which every effort should be made to preserve if possible.” 3. Ho Tung Gardens, also known in Chinese as 曉覺園, comprises three buildings (including a basically two-storey main building in Chinese 1 AAB is an independent statutory body established under section 17 of the Ordinance to advise the Antiquities Authority on any matters relating to antiquities, proposed monuments or monuments or referred to it for consultation under section 2A(1), section 3(1) or section 6(4) of the Ordinance. 2 The Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) carried out from 2002 to 2004 an in-depth survey of 1 444 historic buildings in Hong Kong that were mostly built before 1950.

Honorable Chair and Members, Heritage Watch is an alliance of organizations and individuals interested in the preservation of living and built heritage in Hong Kong. We welcome the expediency with which the new Secretary for Development is tackling issues related to heritage structures. Especially given the backlog of 7,000 potential structures including pre-war buildings which have yet to be classified. However, our organization is extremely concerned with the lack of a Heritage Policy, and that recent ad-hoc decisions are setting precedents. Moreover, we consider it a shame that in seeking to resolve issues related to Jessville the Secretary for Development has seen it necessary to trash the name of late Thomas Tam, and invalidate both the AMO and AAB. In October 2004, the owners of Jessville applied for demolition and in November 2004, the AMO issued a paper which was lyrical about the heritage value of this structure. Subsequently the AAB supported grading Jessville. The owners were advised of that decision and they withdrew the application for consent to start demolition on the basis ‘ ’ that the application for consent was withdrawn .

  • King Yin Lei
    King Yin Lei Heritage Significance King Yin Lei was built in around 1937. The Building was a private residence with strong association with two famous families. It was built in fine “Chinese Renaissance” style combining the Chinese and Western architectural influences in a sophisticated manner, demonstrating the superb building technology and craftsmanship in Hong Kong’s early colonial period and reflecting the rising status and growing wealth of the Chinese community before World War II. The “East-meets-West” construction methods have made the building a rarity in Hong Kong and an outstanding piece of art. King Yin Lei at No. 45 Stubbs Road, Hong Kong, was declared a monument for permanent protection in 11 July 2008 by the Secretary for Development, in her capacity as the Antiquities Authority, under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance (Cap. 53). The declaration was an important milestone in the conservation of King Yin Lei. Preservation Option Under a new heritage conservation policy announced by the Chief Executive in his Policy Address in October 2007, the Government acknowledges the need to provide suitable economic incentives to encourage private owners to preserve historic buildings in their ownership. In implementing this policy, we aim to strike a proper balance between preservation of historic buildings and respect for private property rights. The Chief Executive in Council approved the proposal for a non-in-situ land exchange on 2 December 2008. Under the proposed land exchange, the owner will surrender the whole site of King Yin Lei to Government for preservation and revitalisation, while the Government will grant an adjacent man-made slope site of roughly the same size to the owner for private residential development.
