Exhibition to honor Bruce Lee

A Bruce Lee exhibition has been listed on next year's agenda by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The exhibition will be held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin at a cost of some HK$24 million.

According to the Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing, the exhibition will feature Lee's personal belongings, his living environment and a two-hour documentary.

In the planning stage for at least five years, the exhibition is expected to draw 1.6 million visits in the first two years, says the Director of Leisure and Cultural Services Fung Ching Suk-yee.

Some LegCo members have expressed their hope for the exhibition to run more than two years, perhaps becoming a permanent fixture.

Unexplained mishap kills guard

A 62-year-old security guard was found dead on Friday at the bottom of a lift shaft in the San Toi Building on Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan. Police believed the death was accidental. Investigations are continuing.

The deceased, who had been on the night shift, was not at his post when his co-worker arrived in the morning. The CCTV record, shows the 62-year-old man was last seen entering the lift around 4 am. The lift then stopped between the 10th and 11th floors. There were no suspicious entrances or exits from the building after that.

The lift is maintained by Chevalier (HK) Limited. It is due for annual inspection at the end of February.

Leung denies latest allegations

Chief Executive hopeful Leung Chun-ying said on Friday he was not acquainted with a Malaysian architect who participated in the West Kowloon reclamation concept plan competition 10 years ago.

Leung had said before he had no further interaction with the participant after the competition, but Friday's newspaper reports alleged that the Malaysian architect, Ken Yeang, had cooperated with DTZ, a company of which Leung is a shareholder and managing director. The report said Yeang and DTZ had cooperated on a luxury property project in Beijing in 2007.

Responding to the news report, Leung emphasized he did not know the architect. And it was the owner of the luxury property that employed the Malaysian architect and not the design firm, that contracted DTZ to take charge of the property management in 2007. Furthermore, DTZ did not begin to manage the property work until after the design company had finished its work.

Injunction halts building protests

The High Court on Friday banned further protests by angry residents against a property developer building a "screen-like" building in Mei Foo.

Six residents involved in the case had previously agreed to the court's order of injunction. The court ruled that protests last year were aimed at disrupting the construction project.

Therefore it was necessary to issue the injunction even though the developer did not know the identities of the protestors.
