Co-chairman and managing director Thomas Kwok Ping-kwong [of Sun Hung Kai Properties, co-developer of Ion in Sinkieland and one of the largest in Hong Kong] said home prices were unlikely to fall significantly given soaring construction costs.
"Construction workers [in Hong Kong] in our construction unit have received an annual 15 per cent increase in salaries, with some getting rises of up to 30 per cent since last year. But I disagree with importing labour to solve the shortage problem. Instead, we should encourage more young people to enter the industry," he said.
Rest of article is about Sun Hung Kai's financial results, those interested can view it on SCMP's website here:

In the meantime, in Sinkieland, cheapskate Sinkie towkays want the right to import more cheap labour:

Questions: Who would you rather work for? If these lousy cheapskate Sinkie towkays are never gonna change their basic character, then what can you do if you have skills that are in demand elsewhere? If you are stuck in Sinkieland, for whatever reason, who should be on your side against the cheapskate Sinkie towkays? Should "your representatives" not know what to do, come 2016, what will you do to show your displeasure? Even if they give you SGD 800 "Prosperity Bonus" 7 days before the GE, will you still remember their crime of a few years ago? Do you have to wait until 2016? Can you do anything in the meantime? Where's this peesai park called Hong Lim?
