Hundreds of pre-sale buyers of Pearl Horizon flats staged a protest march yesterday from Areia Preta district to the Central People’s Government Liaison Office in Zape, urging the office to press the local government and the ill-fated residential project’s developer Polytex to hold “three-party talks” with them.
Pearl Horizon Condominium Owners United Association President Kou Meng Pok told The Macau Post Daily that almost 1,000 buyers participated in the protest. The Public Security Police (PSP) said in a statement last night that the protest drew about 350 participants and that 80 PSP officers were deployed to maintain order.
The protesters, some carrying black umbrellas with slogans written on them, started to march from the office of the Polytec Group in Areia Preta at around 3:30 p.m. to the Liaison Office in Zape, where five of their representatives handed a petition to an official at 6 p.m. The protestors staged a sit-in in the nearby Comendador Ho Yin Garden until around 6:30 p.m.
