Ng Siu Hung’s family owned three ancestral houses in Nga Tsin Wai which were respectively located in the 1st, 5th and 6th Lanes. The 1st Lane house was the family’s ‘official’ ancestral house as it had been built by Ng Siu Hung’s ancestors in the days when the walls of the village had first been put in place. As the house had subsequently been passed down from generation to generation with no formal transfer of ownership, the property had no title deed. The ancestral homes at 5th and 6th lanes were purchased during the Japanese occupation, with all transactions being handled by Ng Siu Hung’s father. The old man only signed his elder brother’s name, Ng Shu Hing, on the title deeds. Ng Siu Hung’s father and youngest uncle later informed him that Ng Shu Hing had handled all procedures for registering the title deeds with the District Office by adding in his two younger brothers’ names. When Ng Siu Hung began negotiating with the URA on acquisition matters in recent years, he was surprised to learn that only the 1st Lane house had completed the required name adding formalities. He also discovered that the remaining two houses’ title deeds were still solely in the name of his eldest uncle. Since his elder uncle, father and yougner uncle all passed away, Ng Siu Hung was not recognized as a legal heir. The fact that walled village traditions were not applicabe enraged him very much.
