Q How should heritage policies be reformed?
I am elated to learn that historic Kom Tong Hall is saved! Even as a young Conduit Road resident, I loved to wander around and admire the historic buildings in Mid-Levels, many of which have now been torn down.
They were part of a lot of happy memories for me as a teenager.
On the other hand, I feel guilty that as a citizen and lover of historic buildings, I have never made any contributions towards conservation.
I am not familiar with the government's preservation policies, but would like to use this talkback as a platform to express my appreciation to the Conservancy Association, its CEO, Lister Cheung Lai-ping, and to pledge my support in any future campaigns to conserve Hong Kong's history.
