In opposition, the government requisitioned Fo Tan Chunyang Village as a quarantine center. Today (20th), the first batch of quarantined people moved into multiple units in the village. Junyang Village was notified by the Housing Department late last year and can be recruited as soon as the end of February. The dust at the quarantine center has been settled. The residents of Junyang Village, who have been waiting for many years, have changed their mood from happiness to disappointment and confusion. Or even angry. Prospective residents are disappointed that the authorities did not resettle them after expropriating Junyang Village. Prospective residents who have expired their leases will be homeless. Next month, they will live separately from their husbands and rely on relatives and friends. District Councillor Mai Zijian believed that the government should provide interim housing for affected residents, and indeed requisition unit time.

Ms. Wu applied for public housing from the paper entry. By November of last year, she had been informed by the Housing Department that she had been assigned to Junyang Village. The process had waited for 9 years. The assigned unit can be settled at the end of February or the beginning of March. The lease that she and her husband currently rent will expire this month, and they are looking forward to moving into a new home. Unexpectedly, on the 7th of this month, there is news that Junyang Village It will be used as a quarantine center. "Someone said on the Internet that Zhong feels like it is because the government said that she would use public housing as a quarantine camp." When she was still questioning the truth of the news, she received the message on February 11 and confirmed that Junyang Village will be used as a quarantine center.

"It's so helpless, people are parading, petitioning, the government is listening, and they are going their own way. Our lease has expired in February, and this time the government has risen." Ms. Wu said that the current isolation camp for Junyang Village is a foregone conclusion. The most dissatisfied is that the government has not explained how the resettlement of affected residents will be made. She most hopes that the HD will inform them as soon as possible how long they will have to wait. "It will take three months and half a year to set a year. The HD will further inform and disrupt our plans."

Faced with the expiry of the lease and unable to find a new lease, Miss Wu said that if they had to wait for a long time, the HD should arrange for them to choose other housing units as soon as possible, otherwise they would be homeless. She said that next month she and her husband would live separately, and would rely on relatives and friends.

Another affected prospective resident, Ms. Dai, originally lived in Junyang Village with her husband and a pair of children. After 8 years, she suddenly went upstairs and the whole family was helpless. She was dissatisfied with the government's failure to resettle the affected more than 4,000 Junyang Village prospective residents. Scold the government for being irresponsible. Ms. Dai laments that living in Hong Kong is very difficult. "It is expensive to rent, and you have to increase the rent after the lease." She hopes that the government will find another place to resettle residents as soon as possible.

Mr. Wei waited for 7 years to be arranged to move into Junyang Village, but now he has no time limit for going upstairs. He can only renew the lease from the owner. From looking forward to going upstairs to failure, he said, "I feel so impatient that I can start to collect keys at the end of this month. However, the government only used a short message to inform the quarantine, and did not ask for an opinion. It only forced me to agree. "He said that he lost confidence in the government because the government informed them that they would requisition the unit by text message. No further contact was made for further follow-up, "I don't know how long it will take, depending on the situation."

District ward MP Mai Zijian, who has been walking with residents for the past week, revealed that more than 10 neighbours responded to him yesterday that the end of the lease would expire. It is not known how long Junyang Village will requisition, causing residents' anxiety. It is hoped that the Housing Department can provide a firm timetable for residents to know when they can move in to arrange housing problems or accept arrangements from other HD units. However, as far as Mai Zijian knows, the HD only said that the time of requisition should be determined according to the outbreak of the epidemic, so it is difficult to estimate how long the residents have to wait before they can go upstairs.

Mai Zijian suggested that the government should provide interim housing for the affected residents, as many residents face the problem of lease expiry. In addition, in order to protect the health of the shops, industrial areas and villagers near Junyang Village, the government should further through the operation process of the quarantine center, such as when the garbage and medical waste in the village are transported away. Avoid going out during this time; the authorities should also provide epidemic prevention supplies to nearby residents.

The Hong Kong 01 reporter is inquiring about the resettlement of the affected prospective residents of Junyang Village to the Housing Department.
