THE NEW TEMPORARY CAR PARK IN FUK TONG ROAD, KWUN TONG, WAS THE RESULT OF THE JOINT EFFORT OF MEMBERS OF THE KWUN TONG DISTRICT BOARD, THE ACTING DEPUTY COMMISSIONER FOR TRANSPORT, MR GARY MULLOY SAID TODAY (MONDAY).
OFFICIATING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY. MR MULLOY STRESSED THIS WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF EFFECTIVE DISTRICT CO-OPERATION BETWEEN OFFICIALS AND UNOFFICIALS.
