		HONG KONG -- On what would have been his 65th birthday, Hong Kong is to finally honor its most iconic star, kung fu legend Bruce Lee, in a ceremony on Sunday that many here believe is long overdue.
		Tellingly for some, Hong Kong has been beaten to the punch by Bosnia, where a life-sized bronze statue of Lee will be placed in the southern city of Mostar on Saturday as a symbol of battling ethnic division.
		The Hong Kong government should be ashamed of their lack of action over the years and their lack of vision in not realizing what an icon he is around the world," says Anders Nelsson, who played a small role alongside Lee in 1972's The Way Of The Dragon.

		It is hoped that the Avenue of Stars will not only prove popular with visitors, but also become a gathering point for the stars themselves and, of course, another favourite film shooting location.
