Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) President Guilherme Ung Vai Meng said yesterday the government has already repossessed a shipyard and two stilt houses in Coloane, adding that his bureau plans to revitalise the shipyard in Lei Chi Van Village as a display of the traditional wooden shipbuilding craft that, he promised, would not be “too commercialised”.
Ung made the pledge on the sidelines of yesterday’s opening ceremony for a string of events to mark International Museum Day at local group Albergue SCM in Sao Lazaro district.
Asked by reporters about the shipyard which the government has repossessed, Ung said that his bureau had not been given the shipyard.
