I recently visited HK with my BFF Sue Tan and one morning we followed our friend Divya Kolady, Al Jazeera’s foreign correspondence to work in Kowloon and got caught on camera shopping at this Iconic fabric market in Sham Shui Po 😂
This Iconic fabric market has been around for 40 years and finally the local council is shutting it down. It has served as a meeting point for the local community and fashion designers. The stall vendors will be relocated to a mall but most of them will not be able to afford rent. What is the price for progress? 🤔🤓

Good idea. The market could even be below the social housing!

Progress isn’t always progress for all, sad but true.

It is sad news

Yes. Very sad.

A shame. Does progress mean tearing down the old, the traditions, erasing the memories?
I don’t think so. Which of course doesn’t mean avoiding change. But let us just imagine someone tearing down Penang Peranakan mansion to build a 50 storeys 5 star hotel? 😦
