Insofar as public

order is concerned, the Hong

Kong Government will make sure there is sufficient Police

presence.

Every effort will be made to develop a

law-abiding and responsible community from the first day

they move to the camp. I have no doubt the interests of

the local residents will be fully taken into accoiunt in

the process of implementation of the liberalisation scheme.

You have also mentioned in your letter that "the

Vietnamese refugees, even confined in closed centres, are

well known for their violent behaviours." This is a highly

some unruly

M

generalised comment. Although there may be

elements among the Vietnamese refugees,

the Vietnamese refugees, they are the very

ĥ

minority; Most of the Vietnamese refugees are law-abiding

people.

Thank you for writing

Yours faithfully,
