Letter to the Editor-Is pulling down the Soleil D’Or structure the right option?

In my opinion, instead of pulling down the structure, the authorities should consider completing the building and use it for the welfare of the public, for example as a rehabilitation centre, offices, residential apartments, etc.

The government could call for a tender to renovate instead of demolishing the existing structure.

The demolition could cost millions and furthermore the dust emanating from this operation can pose a health hazard and inconvenience to neighbouring residences, not forgetting also the heavy vehicles transporting the rubble which will add to the already heavy traffic congestion on our roads…
I kindly request the authority to reconsider demolishing the structure.
