In a landmark 1996 ruling, Hong Kong residents of Tiu Keng Leng, also known as Rennie's Mill, won a legal battle against the government. A judge found that the government had unfairly abused its powers by breaking a long-standing promise to allow the community, established by Kuomintang refugees in the 1950s, to remain on the Tseung Kwan O site indefinitely. Despite the ruling in favor of the residents, their homes were ultimately demolished to make way for development, and the amount of damages to be paid to the approximately 400 remaining occupants was yet to be determined.
