Lawmaker Becky Song calls for accelerated urban renewal
Incumbent lawmaker Becky Song hopes urban renewal and the introduction of elderly hostels can be accelerated. Residents complained to the lawmaker about the poor hygiene conditions in Iao Hon, where it is reported there are not enough trash cans and trash is scattered over the streets, causing an unpleasant smell. Due to the lack of owners’ unions, some Iao Hon buildings are full of flies, cockroaches, rats and even human excrement. While attributing the cause of these conditions to historical factors, the lawmaker admitted that the habits of the residents are another cause.
