Pak Shek Kok Station on East Rail Line Scheduled to Open as Early as 2033 The Development Bureau's recent announcement that the Pak Shek Kok station on the East Rail line will open as early as 2033, financed by private flats built by the MTR Corporation, raises concerns about prioritizing short term convenience over long term public interest.
The decision to abandon plans for a mix of public and private housing in favor of a more lucrative arrangement calls into question the government's priorities.
The original plan for Pak Shek Kok station aimed to improve access to education institutions, residential areas, and commercial centers in the region by revitalizing the underutilized East Rail line.
