One of World's Most-Famous Approaches May Open Again, If You
Help
ANN Reader Francis
Chin, of the Save Kai Tak group, tells us that the
legendary Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport and Runway will
likely be saved. Chin asks, "Remember the world famous Kai Tak
where you spread your wings to go overseas for the first time?"
There is a group working in a professional way, to try to save
the old beauty, which has been closed for five years; and
their website is open. They ask us, "We sincerely wish you would
kindly peruse and give us your valuable comments and suggestions
for improvement. I think we need some trimming before we can
finalize the plans."
Even with all the talent they have put into the plan, there are
a few things that may warrant redesign. Chin writes, "For example,
I am not too comfortable on the position of the cruise terminals.
They are sticking out to the main shipping navigation causeway in
the middle of the harbor. Please kindly advise." Looking for
experts, soliciting informed opinion -- that's how you get a good
proposal together: "Or if you know anyone who is knowledgeable with
shipping/navigation/currents of the Victoria Harbor please kindly
refer to us for consultation."
If you can help, please do. This group is looking for
international visibility, as their quest is to save an
international icon. "After looking at our latest architectual plans
we hope you will have more confidence that our campaign will win,"
Francis wrote, "but we need your kind support to make this dream
come true. You can help us a lot if you could join in and send an
appeal email to our Chief Executive, Mr. Tung Chee Hwa. Please send
an appeal email now if still have not done so. Thanks a lot."
