Demolition work on the Sai Gon Tax Trade Centre, built by the French 135
years ago, began yesterday in HCM City to make way for a 40-storey
office and hotel tower and the first metro subway route.
Shopkeepers at the Sai Gon Tax Trade Centre in downtown HCM City are
complaining bitterly about being given little notice to move out before
October 1 to facilitate construction of the first metro line.
