Having been elected from the Urban Council
constituency, I shall be actively interested in all matters
for which the Urban Council has responsibility such as
public hygiene, recreation and culture.
In cooperation with Government, the Urban Council
hopes to see the completion of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre
opposite the Peninsula Hotel by 1989.
I might add that in many ways, the Urban Council's
work, especially in the cultural and public hygiene fields,
contribute to the development of tourism, an industry which
is very much part of Hong Kong's economic success.
While Hong Kong has generally a good reputation in
maintaining law and order, the recent disclosure by the Police
that triads are a growing menace leaves one wondering whether
the problem is one which requires enactment of more stringent
legislation, or more vigorous action on the part of the
Police, or of stronger grass-roots anti-crime support at the
area committee level, or a combination of these and other
factors, and closer coordination all round.
