Meanwhile, back in Hong Kong, pity the small shop owner. Thanks to the individual traveler scheme, jewellery, electronics and designer fashion clothing sales may be booming, especially for large scale chain stores. But small scale shop owners are rapidly being turned into vagrants. The King Wah Centre is located in the prime area of Mong Kok. All the small shopkeepers on the first four floors of the building have to leave at the end of May. The space will be leased to one big department store. It’s a facelift that will appeal to a different type of shoppers. It’s also a big blow to many small shops now in the centre. 8 H1 K1 |9 j+ T- T0 I9 Q3 j5 j5.39.217.765.39.217.76( |6 i; t* S1 T+ z9 I

Under the scheme, the lump sum resources are for district councils to implement large-scale and sustainable projects to satisfy their area’s needs. There are few definitions or guidelines about the nature of the signature projects or how they should be carried out. The only clear guideline is that any proposed projects should cost no less than $30 million each. But will the money be used to meet public needs? tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& O9 E& Y; l4 G. j8 d) c; Q! p
