Pearl Horizon home owners petitions gov’t

The group of Pearl Horizon homebuyers again petitioned the government last Friday, urging authorities to take the initiative to meet with the buyers and the project’s developer Polytex Corporation Ltd., in order to resolve disputes.
The group said last week that they would hold a press conference in Hong Kong with homebuyers there if the MSAR government does not respond to their demands by December 20.
Kou Meng Pok, president of the Pearl Horizon Condominium Owners United Association, said the group had not received any reply from the government regarding their previous petition to Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
The group held a press briefing in the middle of the month saying they were unable to reach Premier Li Keqiang during his recent visit to the MSAR, with neither the Office of the Chief Executive nor the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the MSAR giving any response to their many petitions and protests.
Pearl Horizon – occupying a site known as lot-P of Areia Preta on the Macau Peninsula – is designed to house 18 towers with a total of 5,000-plus residential units. The government announced it would take back the plot at the end of last year, as the developer’s temporary concession for the site had expired despite over 3,000 of these units having already been sold off-plan.
