\"\"<\/a>I\u00a0was not all play and no work while in Hong Kong last year<\/p>\n

I cared for Hong Kong, the place where I was born and where I’ve spent most of my life (to now).<\/p>\n

The attached was a request to a young District Councillor to widen the zebra crossing at a high-traffic and accident-prone junction in Sai Wan Ho, Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

I had this request in mind for umpteen years but had been dragging my feet until one day I saw this young fellow on the street poster.\u00a0 “Good, let me try him.\u00a0 First, he is young; let me see what he would do.\u00a0 Secondly, he is the local councillor; he should have a better understanding of the problem since his office is only down the street (the former HK harbour; now the whole reclaimed land with highways and residential estates).”, I told myself.<\/p>\n

So, I tried.<\/p>\n

He responded.\u00a0 In fact, according to him, he had been thinking and working on the problem too.<\/p>\n

So….today, according to his poster, some actions will be taken.\u00a0 Good! The PowerPoint was meant to be a proposal…..quite verbose.\u00a0 (This saves work of the councillor in case he or she just wants to turn it around as his or her own request to the Govt. Dept.).\u00a0 I forgot to put in the date.\u00a0 Bonkers!\u00a0 Nonetheless, it served its purpose.<\/p>\n

Enjoy this proposal.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (The last one was one to fix a broken roof of a pavilion up the HK Trail…..and the roof was fixed!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
