Examples

“Sau Mau Ping and Lam Tin are not the only contributors to the growth of the hinterland of Kwuntong. In all, government housing projects on the east side of Kowloon Bay, counting only those to the south of Ping Shek, and not including Kwuntong itself, have a total population of about 400,000 people; Kwuntong itself contributes about 80,000 in government or Housing Society housing, and about 150,000 in private accommodation.⁶ All these people live in an area which is in some sense tributary to Kwuntong. In the resettlement estates like Lam Tin whose communications with Kowloon are necessarily through Kwuntong, most people visit Kowloon only exceptionally, at holiday times and for special reasons.”

“The Hong Kong government imposed a third “ambush-style” lockdown at a housing estate in Lam Tin on Sunday night, as two building blocks recorded 15 coronavirus infections in 12 days.”

“The accident occurred after midday near a tunnel entrance on Tseung Kwan O Road in Lam Tin, a residential area in Kowloon. A taxi carried out a “careless lane change” and the other vehicles could not stop in time, causing the collision, senior police inspector Lee Pok-kit said.”
