To ensure peace of mind when visiting SHKP properties, the Group proactively stepped up its cleaning efforts and anti-epidemic measures from the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. The results have been remarkable. Earlier, the Hong Kong Tourism Board awarded SHKP malls and hotels Anti-epidemic Hygiene Measures Certification after on-site assessments to prove that the venues have met the hygiene and epidemic prevention standards. Come and visit SHKP malls and hotels without any worries!

Key criteria of the Anti-epidemic Hygiene Measures Certification Scheme:

In the past year, all of us have put a lot of effort into searching for daily necessities and protective equipment, which can be a nuisance. To enable residents to stay safe at home, the Oscar by the Sea management team purchases different daily necessities and protective equipment for them, and has even provided various thoughtful services for students during the school suspension. The team provides nutritious lunches, online courses, and a homework hotline for students to show its care and offer academic support.

The team also understands the importance of maintaining the pipes to prevent the spread of germs. Therefore, in 2018, Oscar by the Sea became the first residential estate in Hong Kong to introduce pipe inspection robots in impluviums to prevent the spread of diseases because of leakage. The team provides attentive service and has served as the strongest backer for residents during the pandemic.

The pandemic is a serious health crisis. But effective responses can minimize its adverse impact. Earlier, a worker at the West Rail Yuen Long South Station site was confirmed to have contracted COVID-19. SHKP's Sanfield took immediate action, closing the site for one day on the following day for thorough disinfection. Virus testing was arranged for daily- and monthly-rated workers, consultants and MTR site representatives. A number of corresponding measures were also implemented. Thanks to the decisive and effective handling of the incident, the virus did not spread on the site, and Sanfield received a letter of recognition from the Development Bureau. We hope that all SHKPers will stay vigilant and continue to observe good personal hygiene.

To further enhance the integrated control level of building quality in the district, the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Huadu worked with the Huadu Construction Quality Supervision Station to assess all 217 residential projects completed between August 2017 and August 2019. Park Royale, one of five projects that did not receive any substantiated complaints or other cases, was presented with a certificate of honour and a pennant.
