The director-general of the Hengqin New Area Administrative Committee, Niu Jing, has told media that the clearance arrangement for Macau-­licensed vehicles to drive in Hengqin will be announced before August.
Niu explained on the sidelines of the policy-briefing seminar promoting the Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone in Macau that the border checkpoint could create a bottleneck for the increasing number of vehicle crossings, in addition to Henqin also being a smaller area for Macau’s large amount of cars.
Nevertheless, he assured media representatives that when the arrangement is announced, it must entail a solution which promotes effective management of the issue. “If the cars will just jam up at the border port, what’s the point of offering them entry?” – he asked, adding that the provincial authorities have already drafted regulations and a management plan for the measure to be implemented effectively and safely.
In addition, Niu said the Hengqin administrator has received less than ten complaints over irregularities of pre-sale apartments. He explained that the authorities would follow up a complaint not only regarding one property but all projects of the related developer. “So far, the situation is not serious,” he said.
