New home owners in one development on Hong Kong island are probably feeling they should have got their own flats as a knock down price. At least when they saw the finished result. Some thought their brand nre flats, in "The Icon" were handed to them looking like a rubbish tip. Others expected an open kitchen, as described in the leaflet provided by the property agency -Centaline. What they got was an enclosed kitchen. The promotional booklet for the property warns that certain images are artists' renderings, which do not necessarily represent the way the completed apartment will look. Some legislators wondered whether the property agency had deliberately mislead purchasers. 2,100 square metres of land on Hong Kong island for $1,000? It's a bargain. And it's a bargain that's been questioned at both the Central and Western District Council and the Legislative Council this month. The Hong Kong government has granted that land to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China at the nominal premium to build an extension. According to the Hong Kong Society for the Blind there are over 120,000 people with varying degrees of visual impairment in Hong Kong, around eleven and a half thousand of whom are totally blind.And yet one area where the SAR falls far behind many other places is that it has not, for many years, had any guide dog service. Two weeks ago, the Hong Kong Guide Dog Association was formally established to launch the service in Hong Kong. An earlier attempt, over 30 years ago, did not meet with success.
