Shek told Apple Daily that he disagreed with Ng’s article, as Hong Kong’s housing issue had a long history and was not caused by a small group of developers.The housing issue must be resolved with the effort of the whole of society, and not by “Cultural Revolution-style” criticism of developers, Shek said. The real estate sector has been working hard for Hong Kong’s development, and would not be afraid of criticism as it had contributed to the benefits of the city, he
added.Ng’s views only reflected some grassroots views, and he did not speak for the interests of all of Hong Kong, Shek said.
