A new Airport Authority (developer / property tycoon) board member says he will push the chief executive’s idea to build a shopping outlet at Chek Lap Kok.

Vincent Lo Hong-shui, a prominent supporter of Leung Chun-ying, said the government should accommodate the needs of both locals and tourists.(including imprisoning the heinous baby formula smugglers)

Lo is the chairman of Shui On Land and a local delegate to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).(gee whiz so is Henry the illegal Basement)

He was appointed to the Airport Authority board in January (to vote what he was told to do in return for tit for tat ????).

Speaking on the sidelines of the CPPCC in Beijing on Saturday, Lo said that proposals to limit the number of times a mainland visitor could travel to Hong Kong were “strange”.

“We should think positively, about how we could build more facilities and better accommodate them,” Lo said.

(after all there is only 7 million people here and what’s an extra billion visitors hiding their ill-gotten black money in our property market and jewellery stores )

Asked about a new shopping outlet proposed for the airport, Lo said: “Yes, Leung Chun-ying also asked me to do something about this when he appointed me to the Airport Authority.” Lo said they were looking into the proposal and he hoped progress could be made soon. He also said that more tourists would visit Lantau Island once the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge was completed.     (which has no railwayline connection to HKG   hence the pollution will increase when their EUROstone age  vehicles and  high sulphur mainland fuel comes here –

t was built to enable air cargo from Zhuhai airport to reach Hong Kong airport – the HK Airport Auhthority is a major shareholder in the management of Zhuhai airport,  which has no international destinations)  – did you know that ? ……………

Leung said in his election manifesto the city needed to increase its business capacity and maximise areas near the airport. Lo said that while maintaining growth in tourism could help the economy, (like the hotel builders and the hotel chains and the thieving tour companies and how does it benefit the 99% rest of us ……….>? good question !)

– (gee so the Mainlanders and Mexican/ Colombian /Thai  drug cartels and Zimbabwe despots and Thai Interpol fugitives  hiding their black money forces our rents up with no protection, our property prices ridiculously up and that’s OK ?) our Leung’s priority was still solving the city’s housing woes.

He suggested Leung consider encouraging private sector participation in building subsidised homes so as to speed up the process. (QED: give the developers even more money and reduced land cost so they can then buy the rest of the world’s assets with their profits out of milking Hong Kong people)
