The Centre was initially managed by Hong Kong Police, and then by the CSD from 1991.[1] The construction of the Centre was delayed by two months after concerned Sai Kung residents staged a sit-in at the site.[2] It opened in 1989 and closed in May 1998. During that period, more than 20,000 boat people passed through its doors.[1]
