Recently, an industrial building unit in Chunbian Street, Kwai Chung applied to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department for a funeral business license.
Some district councillors pointed out that there are many factory buildings, residential houses and hotels nearby. If there are places of gods or ancestors, it will also increase the chances of strangers entering and leaving the unit and burning incense as treasures in the unit, which may lead to unforeseen accidents such as fires. occurs, urge the relevant departments to disclose the future use of the premises to nearby residents.
He is worried that if the relevant mortuary license is successfully granted, a precedent will be set, and the buildings in the surrounding area will gradually become burial uses in disguise, so he hopes the government will fully consult and consider the opinions of residents.
The FEHD sent a letter to Kwai Tsing District Councillors last Friday (7th) stating that one of the units in the Nan Hua Industrial Building located in Chunbian Street, Kwai Chung was applying for a funeral license, so from now until the 25th of this month, it will inform the local residents and Consultants from the area.
District Councilor Lin Shaohui pointed out that after receiving the relevant news, it has attracted the attention of many residents. Since the unit involved is located in the factory area, there are also many residential buildings and hotels nearby, but it is not clear what purpose the unit will use after applying for a license. Neighbors are worried.
As far as he knows, only some owners' corporations of industrial buildings and residential buildings have received relevant consultation letters. He believes that nearby residents have the right to know, so he urges the relevant departments to disclose more information to let them know the details.
If there is a violation, it is prone to fire
Lin Shaohui mentioned that although coffins are not allowed to be displayed or stored in the premises where the mortician's license is applied for, and the ashes of the deceased or the name plates and photos of the deceased are not allowed to be displayed, it is inevitable that there will be violations.
He is worried that if this application is approved, it will set a precedent and cause more units in the vicinity to apply for burials.
If there are places of gods or ancestors, it will also increase the chances of strangers entering and leaving the unit and burning incense as treasures in the unit, which may lead to unforeseen accidents such as fires. Therefore, he believes that the relevant land is located in the vicinity of Wing Hau Street, Kwai Chung For example, it is more suitable near Kwai Chung Crematorium.
