The Hong Kong SAR government plans to reclaim the funds it donated to rebuild an earthquake-devastated school in Sichuan Province, after local authorities pulled down the school for a massive real estate project, Shanghai Daily reported.

The Hong Kong government and Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers donated HK$2 million each to Mianyang, a quake-hit city in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The federation said it has no plan to reclaim its donation.

But the Zijing Ethnic Minorities Middle School, which was rebuilt in 2010 for minority students from the Aba Prefecture, has been demolished to make room for a large-scale commercial housing project by a private developer.

Earlier media reports claimed that Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co. Ltd. has already started work on the project.

The People's Daily Online reported the city's intention was to rebuild the school with better facilities to an education park which will open in August next year.
