Representatives of Seac Pai Van residents yesterday handed a petition against the storage of hazardous materials near their homes, addressed to Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On, to an official outside Government Headquarters.
The representatives told reporters that the petition was signed by over 7,200 residents.
The petition accused the government of having failed to consult the affected residents about its plan to build two warehouses for hazardous materials in the Concordia Industrial Park area near Coloane’s massive Seac Pai Van public housing estate and other residential buildings there.
