The CCAC has completed the investigation on the cultural heritage protection work for Lok Kok Restaurant, where it believes that the current and previous owners of Lok Kok Restaurant have not fulfilled the obligations vested by the cultural heritage protection laws since 1991, which directly caused the restaurant to become seriously dilapidated and to be practically abandoned for a long time. At that time, the cultural departments and public works departments did not hold those involved responsible for the relevant administrative illegalities in a timely manner according to the law. As a result, the relevant responsibilities were extinguished due to the statutes of limitations. This demonstrates that the supervisory efforts of the relevant departments were inadequate in the past. Nevertheless, given that the relevant departments have been stepping up efforts in their cultural heritage protection work in recent years and that the restoration and redevelopment project for Lok Kok Restaurant is coming to an end, the CCAC does not believe that the relevant cultural heritage protection work is again encountering challenges at this stage. To effectively prevent the problems revealed in the case of Lok Kok Restaurant, the CCAC however believes that the establishment of internal cultural heritage protection mechanisms should be reinforced. In addition, all departments should effectively perform their duties vested by the new Cultural Heritage Protection Law as well as strengthen communication and cooperation among themselves.
