They said the Fanling golf course should be taken over by the government to meet the housing needs of low-income groups in Hong Kong.

The Fanling Golf Course, which covers an area of 170 hectares, is as big as Tsuen Wan and can be redeveloped into a new town, the protesters said.

But instead, the government chose to convert their farms into two new towns, uprooting thousands of families from their villages, while maintaining the playground of only about 2,000 rich and influential people, they said.

Security guards at the Fanling Golf Course allowed the villagers to stage their protest, which lasted a couple of hours, but two policemen were called to monitor the situation.

No one was reported arrested at the Fanling Golf Course.
