+KEEP CLEAN WEEK+ AT LAI CHI KOK
AMUSEMENT PARK
******
THE AIMS OF THE +KEEP HONG KONG CLEAN+ MOVEMENT MUST BE CONTINUALLY KEPT BEFORE THE PUBLIC IF ITS REMARKABLE SUCCESSES ARE TO BE MAINTAINED, THE DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR THE NEW TERRITORIES, MR. JOHN CHAMBERS, SAID TODAY.
MR. CHAMBERS WAS OFFICIALLY OPENING A +KEEP CLEAN WEEK+ AT THE LAI CHI KOK AMUSEMENT PARK JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE PARK MANAGEMENT AND RTV UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
A BIG CROWD AT THE OPENING SAW RTV ARTISTES STAGE A 30-MINUTE SHOW AND ALSO TAKE PART IN A CLEAN-UP OF THE PARK TO LAUNCH THE ONE-WEEK CAMPAIGN.
OPENING THE CAMPAIGN, MR. CHAMBERS NOTED THAT AN AVERAGE OF 10,000 PEOPLE VISITED THE PARK EVERY SATURDAY AND 20,000 ON SUNDAYS.
+WITH SO MANY PEOPLE CROWDED INTO SUCH A RELATIVELY SMALL PLACE, IT IS CLEARLY ESSENTIAL THAT A HIGH STANDARD OF CLEANLINESS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED IF THE PARK IS TO REMAIN A PLACE IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN ENJOY THEMSELVES,+ HE SAID.
+ THE 'KEEP HONG KONG CLEAN' MOVEMENT HAS NOW BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS ACHIEVED SOME REMARKABLE SUCCESSES.
+BUT IF WE ARE TO MAINTAIN THIS IMPROVEMENT, WE MUST CONTINUALLY KEEP THE OBJECTS OF THE MOVEMENT BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG.
+THIS 'KEEP CLEAN WEEK THEREFORE HAS A DOUBLE SIGNIFICANCE: TO IMPROVE THE CLEANLINESS OF THE PARK AND ITS SURROUNDINGS AND ALSO TO SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE TO EVERYONE IN HONG KONG THAT WE MUST CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO MAKE HONG KONG A CLEANER AND THEREFORE BETTER CITY TO LIVE IN.+
