Apart from the remains of the seawall that once surrounded Wellington Battery, a plugged up well and other artefacts have been found. However, the public has been told nothing about them. The MTR and the Antiquities and Monuments Office say it was not possible to preserve the remains in situ, and they got in the way of construction.

Against ever more opulent residential projects, some people – mostly elderly - live in caged bed spaces and scavenge to survive. The government is thinking of almost doubling the old age allowance to just over $2,000 a month. The only problem is it means a means test, and an examination of the assets of the elderly.公仔箱論壇, E" d1 m, S- J8 G P
