At the time when the British Government had began developing communities in Tung Tau and the demolition of Nga Tsin Wai’s Ng Clan Ancestral Hall was scheduled to make way for a new ancestral hall and school. Managers of the four branches had all signed off on the plans on behalf of the Ng Clan. As no conflict of interest was involved when the Clansmen submitted their proposed manager list to the District Office, the authorities registered the request accordingly without bothering to check the number of Clansmen from each branch. Ng Clansmen from both Nga Tsin Wai and Tseung Kwan O subsequently admitted that while they shared common ancestors, only with the consent of Tseung Kwan O’s Ng Clansmen could they be included in Nga Tsin Wai’s Ng Clan’s genealogical records. Back then, the Government had absorbed Nga Tsin Wa into East Kowloon 13 Villages whose villagers belonged to a rural district within the urban city where they no longer possessed small house rights. As a result, including Tseung Kwan O’s Ng Clansmen into the genealogical records might affect or even end the small house rights they already enjoyed.
