I am reposting Steve Kerridge post about the tearing down of Bruce's house in Hong Kong:
I have just spoken to Robert Chua via telephone and he informs me of a plan to knock down Bruces home in Kowloon Tong. He has asked me to get a petition against the HK government with the hope to mount pressure in which to get this stopped. The house he believes along with many should be preserved as a museum.
I have also been in touch with Vivienne Chow from SCMP who wrote the article below. Please feel free to email her at vivienne.chow@scmp.com with your concerns. Robert Chua told me this -
"I would suggest letting people to write to Viennie Chow or you to immediately forward to her. The more emails she receives the more she can write to support us in getting the HK Govt to listen. Please make it clear to the HK Government that Bruce Lee cannot be replaced or copied like other attractions to claim is Bruce's home. HK is Bruce's home is HK and therefore no other city can take that away from HK"
She is about to write a follow up for the Thursday edition of the newspaper in HK, so if we show the support she will certainly include this in her report.
Please spread the word.
