Princess Anne,
We strongly oppose to the setting up of an open centre for
Vietnamese refugees. The community resources of Tuen Mun, such as
transport, social welfare, social services, public facilities as well
as employment and education opportunities are far from satisfactory.
The addition of 10,000 refugees to the local population will surely
arouse public anxieties. As far as public order is concerned, the Vietnamese refugees, even confined in closed centres, are well known
for their violent behaviours. They often fight, make trouble or steal.
If the centre is opened, it will be a serious threat to the law and
order of the district.
