1981 Leyland Olympian ONTL11/2R ECW H61/38D
There was no 3-axle Leyland available at this time, but KMB had acquired three regular Olympians and they were to be found on Route 112.
A further 120 with Alexander bodies were purchased 1983-5 so ECW bodywork remained uncommon in the territory.
Local temples to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, have extended their hours so worshippers can borrow from her.
Tradition is that Guanyin once a year provides the means to become wealthy.
But these are loans, and borrowers must clear the debt by the end of the lunar year by burning a red packet at the temple where a deal is made. Offerings, meanwhile, are welcome.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Whampoa Garden (黃埔花園) is the largest private housing estate located in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was built on the site of the former Whampoa Dockyards by Hutchison Whampoa Property. The urban design of the estate incorporates concepts inspired by the Garden city movement and completed in 1991.
The estate covers 19 hectares and consists of 12 complexes. Ten are residential/commercial mixed use, with a total of 88 16-storey residential high-rise towers. The other two are solely commercial use. It includes several shopping arcades, two supermarkets, a cinema, dozens of restaurants, five primary schools, shops, recreational facilities (mainly sport) and a public transport interchange.
There are 10,431 flats, ranging from 351 to 1,110 square feet (32.6 to 103.1 m2), in the 88 residential towers. The estimated population of the estate is over 40,000.
Notable commercial outlets include the first ParknShop Hong Kong Superstore, which opened in 1996 in Whampoa Garden Phase 12 with a floor space of 4,200 square metres (45,000 sq ft); as of 2011, there are over 50 superstores in Hong Kong. Also, The Whampoa is a 110 metres (360 ft)-long boat-shaped shopping centre building built in the original No 1 Dry Dock, in Whampoa Garden Phase 6. During the 1980s and 1990s, the structure housed a playground on the top and "deck" level, seafood restaurants, a cinema on other floors above ground levels; the department store Yaohan on ground and basement level, and an indoor family theme park (歡樂天地) with an arcade game centre and a roller skating rink on lower basement level. In late 1990s, the department store was overtaken by JUSCO department store. The JUSCO department store was renamed to AEON in 2013, to be consistent with the name change adopted by its parents company in Japan.

Badged as having a Rolls Royce engine. I don't know if the whole batch was so equipped. In Hong Kong Gardner had reigned almost unopposed for decades where new purchases were concerned.

One of the most overwhelming experiences of Hong Kong is the deluge of advertising that fills every commercial area, some of it even in English. But the operators of coaches seem to be a self-effacing bunch who decline to provide any admission of ownership on their vehicles, and frequently even remove information on the manufacturer.

In 1972 The Hong Kong Polytechnic was formally established. Its mandate was to provide professionally oriented education to meet the need for qualified staff. It gained approval from the University and Polytechnic Grants Committee for self-accreditation of degree programmes on 25 November 1994, assuming full university status and changing its name to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
