               1.  OHKF believes that Hong Kong should rely on reclamation as the
                   major source of land source, which has been the cornerstone of
                   past successes  for  Hong Kong.  Against this backdrop, we
                   support the development of East Lantau Metropolis and hope it
                   can be implemented as soon as possible. Considering its size (up
                   to 1,000 hectares) and proximity to the traditional core business
                   district (CBD), the airport and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge,
                   the East Lantau Metropolis is conducive to comprehensive
                   planning and has the potential to become Hong Kong's third
                   CBD.



               2.  In view of the severe shortage of land, OHKF holds that that
                   Hong Kong needs a more ambitious plan of land creation  to
                   support the city long-term development. With reference to the
                   25 potential reclamation sites initially proposed by the
                   Government in 2012, we sketched out a more aggressive prelimi-
                   nary concept map and wish to encourage the community to
                   engage in serious and rational discussion regarding suitable
                   reclamation sites.
