Hong Kong's Permanent Secretary for Development, Doris Ho Pui-ling, defended a decision to exclude public housing from a new development near the proposed Pak Shek Kok rail station. Ho stated that the area is better suited for private housing due to existing developments and a lack of community facilities. She also assured that this change would not impact the government's 10-year housing target of 420,000 flats, as sufficient alternative land has been secured. The new East Rail line station is expected to add only a marginal number of passengers, primarily redirecting commuters from the nearby University station. AI
