「光榮米線」違契被執管 地政總署：絕無針對任何公司
"Glory Mai Seen" in Block 3 of Camel Paint Building in Kwun Tong was accused by the Lands Department of breaching the lease and announced its closure. The public questioned whether the Lands Department was enforcing the rules selectively, while restaurants in Camel Paint Building feared enforcement action against their leases and stopped operating, leaving the building deserted. Responding to the incident, Lands Department Director Chi Wah (1953) Lai denied selective enforcement, stressing that after receiving public complaints, the department decided to conduct inspections based on its "work priorities and resources" and that it was "absolutely not targeting any particular industry or any particular company". He also said the enforcement action did not involve legislation, but concerned the owner of the property breaching the land-use purpose stipulated in the land lease signed at the time, and that the matter was being followed up "from the perspective of the lease".
觀塘駱駝漆大廈3座的「光榮米線」被地政總署指違契，並宣布結業，坊間質疑地政選擇性執法，亦令駱駝漆大廈的食肆擔心被釘契而不營業，大廈一片死寂。地政總署署長黎志華今回應事件時，否認選擇性執法，強調是收到市民投訴後按部門「工作優次及資源」決定巡查，「絕對無針對任何一個行業，無針對任何一間公司」。他又指執管行動不牽涉法例，只是業權擁有人違反當年簽訂地契用途，從「契約角度」跟進事件。

駱駝漆三期近半食肆落閘 午市陷入死寂 打工仔指日後或需帶飯
Glory Mai Seen, an eatery in Phase 3 of Camel Paint Building in Kwun Tong that was recently accused of operating in breach of the industrial building’s land lease, has announced its closure. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department also conducted a high-profile patrol of the building the day before yesterday (the 28th) and brought nine prosecutions. The Stand News visited the building this afternoon and found that more than half of the restaurants had closed their shutters. Some floors were eerily quiet. Although some restaurants remained open, they had covered their signs with newspapers or stated that they provided takeaway only. Workers in the area said Camel Paint Building was a dining hub and that, if all the restaurants disappeared in the long term, “I wouldn’t know where to eat—maybe I’d bring lunch.”
位於觀塘駱駝漆大廈3期、近日被指涉嫌違返工廈地契經營食肆的「光榮米線」宣布結業。食環署前日（28日）更高調巡邏大廈，並提出9宗檢控。《獨媒》記者今午到大廈視察，發現逾半餐廳落閘，部分樓層氣氛死寂，有餐廳雖然營業但以報紙遮蓋招牌，或寫明只指供外賣。在附近工作的打工仔表示，駱駝漆大廈是用膳集中地，若長遠全部餐廳消失，「我都唔知去邊度食，可能帶飯啦」。

民建聯顏汶羽支持執法 惟不應只限駱駝漆 「其他點解唔處理？」
The Glory Mai Seen at Block 3 of Camel Paint Building in Kwun Tong was found by the Lands Department to be in breach of its lease conditions and announced its closure. Restaurants in several industrial buildings were also prosecuted by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department for operating without licences, prompting concern among industrial-building shop owners in several districts. Ngan Man-yu, one of the Legislative Council members for Kowloon East, finally responded to the incident today, saying on a radio programme that he supported the government “getting serious about enforcement”. He said the government should not target only Camel Paint Building, and that other industrial buildings across Hong Kong with breaches should also be dealt with. Industrial constituency Legislative Council member Jimmy Wing Ka Ng also said that “Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law” and that breaches must be enforced against, adding that the incident concerned “the spirit of compliance with the law”.
觀塘駱駝漆大廈3座的「光榮米線」被地政總署指違契，並宣布結業，多間工廈食肆亦被食環檢控無牌營業，引發多區工廈店主擔心。九龍東其中一名立法會議員顏汶羽，今日終於回應事件，在電台節台表示支持政府「的起心肝執法」，更指政府不應只針對駱駝漆大廈，全港其他違規工廈亦應予以打擊。工業界立法會議員吳永嘉亦指「香港係法治社會」，若有違規就要執法，事件涉及「守法精神問題」。

「光榮米線」違契結業 負責人質疑犯者眾「點解係我」
“Glory Mai Seen”, located in Block 3 of Camel Paint Building in Kwun Tong, was told by the Lands Department that it was using the premises in breach of lease conditions and must stop the use by a specified deadline. Glory, the person in charge, said on a radio programme this morning that the incident would force the restaurant to close, leaving more than 10 employees unemployed. Glory said Camel Paint Building had many shops for retail and catering use, and that more than 50 eateries alone held food factory licences: “There really are a lot of them—why me?” Glory said he understood that a breach of lease conditions was still a breach, but questioned whether shops in all industrial buildings across Hong Kong would have to be regulated. On the government’s call to “revitalise the economy”, Glory said with a laugh: “Right now, I can see how to put businesses out of operation first.” He said that if people passed an industrial building and saw a retail or catering shop, or simply “didn’t like the look of it”, they could make a complaint and “there are ways to put it out of business.”
位於觀塘駱駝漆大廈第三座的「光榮米線」被地政總署指違契，要在限期內停止違契用途。負責人Glory今早在電台節目表示，事件令餐廳要結業，將有十多名員工失業。Glory表示駱駝漆大廈有多間零售和餐飲用途的商店，單是持食物製造廠牌照的食肆已有50多間，「真係好多㗎喎，點解係我呢？」他明白「違契就係違契」，不過質疑全港所有工廈商店是否都要被規管。對於政府提倡要「搞活經濟」，Glory笑言「而家我睇到點樣搞死先囉」，只要路經工廈見到零售飲食店舖，或「睇佢唔順眼」就可以投訴，「有辦法搞死佢㗎喎」。

「光榮米線」被指違工廈用途 甯漢豪：違契就係違契
The restaurant Glory Mai Seen, operated by the yellow shop Glory Catering in Camel Paint Building, Kwun Tong, was accused by the Lands Department last month of breaching the permitted use under its lease. It was required to cease operations within three weeks and rectify the breach by tomorrow, or otherwise face lease enforcement action. However, several restaurants in the building said they had not received the relevant letter. Speaking after attending an event today, Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn said, “A lease breach is a lease breach,” and said it was not possible to claim that the Lands Department had acted improperly simply because similar units had not received letters. She said the relevant businesses in the same industrial building would receive the letters in due course, stressing that the Lands Department would act in accordance with the law.
黃店「光榮飲食」旗下位於觀塘駱駝漆大廈的食肆「光榮米線」，上月被地政總署指違反契約用途，要求3個星期內停業，並於明日前糾正違契用途，否則釘契。不過，有多間位於該大廈的食肆稱未有收到有關信件。發展局局長甯漢豪今日出席一個活動後指，「違契就係違契」，不能夠因為同類單位未收到信件，便稱地政處「做得唔啱」，「我哋唔可能有咁樣嘅思考嘅」。她指，在同一工廈的相關業務會陸續收件，強調地政總署會依法辦事。
