Is there a Price on Cottages?
The Hong Kong Government made a decision to demolish the Tung Tau Cottage area, and this decision stirs up discontent of the residents. The Government provided this area for the refugees in 1950s, so it considers the land as government property. But the residents treat the land as personal property and claim compensation.
政府清拆東頭平房區，在沒有賠償或極少賠償的情況下，要求居民及廠商遷出，受影響人士不滿政府漠視民意。政府於五十年代撥出平房區土地，讓難民自建房屋居住，以解決民生問題；當時沒有清楚寫明產權屬誰，政府認為土地屬於官地，因此毋須賠償；居民則認為政府無理取鬧，有侵吞私產之虞。針對居民的指控，政府表示已作出適當安排。
