PREVENTION OF CRIME AND BRIBERY, AND THE MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS WILL BE THE MAIN THEME OF A TRAINING COURSE SPECIALLY ORGANISED BY THE KWUN TONG DISTRICT OFFICE FOR 100 MEMBERS OF LOCAL MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES AND OWNERS* CORPORATIONS LATER THIS WEEK.
THE COURSE IS AIMED AT PROVIDING OFFICE-BEARERS OF THESE CRGANISATIONS A CHANCE TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE AND ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED FOR EFFICIENT BUILDING MANAGEMENT, SAID A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DISTRICT OFFICE.
