各位朋友

利東街的may姐絕食超過九十小時,今早已移師政府總部,要求發展局介入事件,要求林太下令暫停利東街清拆工程，並要求城市規劃委員會提早審議h15提出的「折中規劃方案」。但她仍然不願意放棄，終於在林鄭月娥出場又講了幾句風涼話後,不支暈倒,現已送往瑪麗醫院。

林鄭的回應．．．．不會停利東街工程

反對灣仔利東街重建清拆而絕食的商戶葉美容，轉到政府總部外繼續靜坐。發展局長林鄭月娥前往慰問。

林鄭月娥表明不會停止利東街的清拆工程，因為城規會經過深入討論後已駁回居民提出的方案。她指，若每次有人抗議，城規會都要重新審議，市區重建將舉步維艱。

葉美容已絕食90小時，身體顯得虛弱，林鄭月娥勸喻她保重。

To: 香港市區重建局

To: 關心香港城市發展的市民

過去四年多，利東街街坊及行動組織者鍥而不捨，為我們立下香港新城市運動的典範，為各區的社區運動和保育運動開了頭。零八年一月十一日，香港城市規劃委員將會審議由民間提出的保留灣仔利東街規劃申請，但香港市區重建局卻於本月廿三日偷步清拆利東街，部份建築物已告灰飛煙滅。

利東街舖戶May姐自十二月二十三日下午開始無限期絕食，以表悲憤。

利東街社區運動已到了最後關頭，我們要求市建局馬上停拆舊唐樓和保留社區網絡。利東街的存亡關係整場新城市運動的未來，我們不容許堆土機繼續亂來！

我們呼籲關注城市發展和市區重建的朋友加入聯署。簽個名，不單對絕食行動表示支持，還要對香港政府推土機式的發展模式說「不」﹗

Sincerely,

保重身體

作為一個市民，謝謝你們為保育社區的努力。但希望你們(尤其是may 姐)能保重身體!這個星期天氣會很凍，絕食對較年長的人來說是很危險的事，昨晚有人和我說仿效甘地不影響絕食者的決定，默默支持她的絕食理念，這點在我理性層面上可能是認同的，但當我看見年紀與我的母親相約的may姐絕食，我想她的親人或朋友知道她以生命作為工具控訴這個麻木的政府時，必定感到很痛心。這是一幅很殘忍的圖片，真的充心希望may姐能停止絕食，保重身體!

葉美容﹝may姐﹞絕食宣言英文版

Declaration of Hunger Strike

Dear citizens,

Being Cheated and Oppressed Once Again!
I am May Yip Mee-Yung. My family have been living in Wanchai old district for 2 generations. I used to live in Ship Street, which was then re-developed and I was forced to move out. Yet, I still had a stair-corner stall selling hand-made crystallite jeweleries in Lee Tung Street, co-existing with the printing and wedding-card industries there. Unfortunately, another re-development project is forcing me to move out of this street.
Since 1997, I have been very concerned about the district's redevelopment. I witnessed how senior government officials cheated LegCo members and citizens alike with the so-called 7 principle promises when the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) was founded. These promises never materialised. More damaging is the fact that the LegCo has given the URA entitlement to make use of Lands Resumption Ordinance; that is to say when the URA fails to come into terms with affected parties, the Ordinance can be used to rob the people's properties.

10 Years of Fruitless Communication

I have been concerned with issues of urban re-development, and for many years I have been seeing government officials, trying to communicate with them. The concerns and problems faced by the community have never been dealt with sincerely. I felt so angry and hopeless. Fortunately in 2003, H15 Concern Group was founded by some enthusiastic community members. With the help of professionals and people from other sectors, we submitted the first ever bottom-up, people's planning proposal to the Town Planning Board (TPB). The proposal addresses the interests and benefits of both the community members, who may choose to leave or stay, and even the developers. Indeed, most community members want only a flat for a flat, and a shop for a shop. In other words, that is to urge the URA to follow its own principle objectives of preserving community network and local characteristics. Unfortunately, the TPB rejected our proposal by some technical reasons hitherto unprecedented in its dealings with proposals submitted by developers. What makes one indignant is that TPB gave a green light to the URA's proposal on Lee Tung Street, despite the gross number of 192 objections out of 196 representations received during public consultation. At this moment, I can see how the government policy biased towards developers' interest very clearly.
The Secretary of Development arranged a meeting with H15 Concern Group earlier in Nov, 2007, we thought there was still a chance to right the wrongs. Yet, the meeting made no difference at all in terms of outcome. During the meeting, the Secretary of Development kept pointing back to some technical issues concerning not demolishing the buildings. To address these issues, we have drafted yet another proposal which aims to revise the proposal presently submitting to TPB by URA. This submission is now waiting to be put on TPB meeting scheduled on Jan 11, 2008. In the mean time, we are also making appointment with the new URA chairman, Barry Cheung Chun-Yuen. Although we have been making such an appointment for several months and I have been even phoning him daily, we hear no reply yet.

Fake preservation, Takeover by substance

URA announced its pseudo preservation proposal just about time with Christmas approaching, I am utterly shocked by its ingenious pretense to cover up its interested schemes. I have been running about with the owners of printing firms and wedding cards shops who are forced by URA to move out. Without the very clustering of shops, most owners have been losing 50-90% of their business. In fact, many wedding card shop owners have spoken openly in the last few days to express their concerns. Should Lee Tung Street, a place of production, turned into some sort of retail area as proposed by URA, these small shops will not survive. They have been co-existing and mutually relying on each others' expertise and specialties. Such a proposal by URA is considered by many shop owners as ruthless and ungrateful. This is to say the shops in question have moved to the outskirt of the project area and they have been enduring drastic drop in business and revenues. Such clearly goes against URA's goal of “livelihood improvement”. Worse, whoever wishes to enter the industry in the future will have to move in to the project's theme arcade. With the foreseeable raise in rent with the completion of project, shop owners will be reduced to merely working for the government like wage labour. Should they decided not to move in, they will be forced to run out of business by the hectic competition imposed by the theme arcade. The renown status of Lee Tung Street is in fact the fruitful outcome of all of these shops, residents and practitioners' decades long effort, URA is shameful in breaking down the cluster and to threaten the shop owners' livelihood in such unbecoming manner.

The Powerless' Resistance

Today, URA is making the matter worse in launching a structural demolition of Lee Tung Street. As an ordinary citizen who is powerless and without resources, I have run out of all possible means. I have done all I could have done, and what the government and URA have offered us in turn?. I have no other means and measures but to fight my last fight with my own body. I am now going on a hunger strike at the crossing of Lee Tung Street and Queen's Road East, so as to express my unbounded sadness and fury.

Stop Demolishing Lee Tung Street!

Barry Cheung Chun-Yuen (Chairman of the Board of the URA) come to meet the Concern Group immediately at Lee Tung Street!

做 show 的年代

最近令我想起剛剛回歸後的一大堆媒體戰, 包括167這個離晒譜的大話, 但當年卻竟然很多人信...

現在又是同一樣的手段, 中環露天街市遷拆, 說成保留(商戶都知道沒有地舖存貨, 根本沒有可能做生意); 把喜貼街變成姻緣, 但卻在規劃上換湯不換藥; 收你舖時計七年前舊樓價, 店舖回遷叫市中心豪宅天價 -- 這叫做優先回遷!!

天水圍, 100個14日臨時工, 每人山長水遠返工兼做埋政府pr廣告臨記, 才賺千幾蚊, 電玩展卻拿到幾天(三天)超過三五分鐘的黃金時間新聞報導, 政府企業合作變成觀音打救天水圍...成條數(100x1500)加埋十幾萬, 電視頭條, 報紙頭版, 平過買廣告套餐好幾倍!!!

最誇的是普選報告口說 not later than 2017, 把2012當作不存在, 而2017則睇阿公, 不過阿公收起條貓尾連扯都唔比你扯, 死未!
