Sau Mau Ping Estate

The second phase of development was the construction of Blocks 32–41 at regions currently known as central Sau Mau Ping.

Blocks 34–41 were completed during 1966–1967, and are then collectively called Sau Mau Ping (III) Estate.

Blocks 32–33 were demolished in 1997, and are reconstructed to become the current Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre.

They have a special structure resembles that of Block 66 in Tsz Wan Shan Resettlement Area, in which they are connected with each other to form a long building.

After the completion of Phase 5, Blocks 19–31 was collectively named as Sau Mau Ping (I) Estate.

By the end of 2000, the Hong Kong Housing Authority has decided to demolish and rebuild at the site of the old Sau Mau Ping Estate, which were condemned in 2003.

On 14 May 1997, the chilling torture and murder of 16-year-old Luk Chi-wai (陸志偉) nicknamed “Chicken” (阿雞) took place and shocked the city at the time.

The gang unfortunately began targeting then 30-year-old mentally retarded man; Chan Muk-Ching (陳木清) nicknamed “No.

3 uncle” to report the bullying to the police, word of it got to the ringleader; then 17-year-old Hui Chi-Wai (許智偉) who decided to teach “Chicken” a lesson.

As a result, his action was considered betrayal by his fellow gang and he was beaten with fists, kicked and attacked with blunt weapons until death, then his body was burned in a trash bag.

And much like how debates were spawned over the role violent video games played in the Columbine High School shooting in America, scrutiny was sparked regarding media that glorified and romanticize gang lifestyle; namely the Teddy Boy (古惑仔) comics.
