MODEL PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS CHOSEN
****
TWENTY-SIX CIVIC-MINDED RESIDENTS IN WONG TAI SIN HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS MODEL PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS FOR EXERCISING GREAT CARE ON THE ROADS.
THE SELECTIONS WERE PART OF THE DISTRICT'S THREE-MONTH ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN WHICH STARTED IN EARLY JUNE.
FUNDED BY THE DISTRICT BOARD AT $30 000, THE CAMPAIGN IS TO DRIVE HOME THE MESSAGE THAT +ROAD ACCIDENTS WRECK LIVES+ AND TO EDUCATE THE RESIDENTS TO BE MORE CAREFUL ON THE ROADS.
AN ORGANISING COMMITTEE, COMPRISING MEMBERS FROM THE DISTRICT BOARD, THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND THE POLICE, HAD BEEN FORMED TO PLAN THE EDUCATIONAL AND PUBLICITY PROGRAMMES ON ROAD SAFETY.
A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE, A SLOGAN COMPETITION AND A PHOTO CONTEST HAVE SINCE BEEN HELD IN THE DISTRICT. AND IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, THERE WILL BE MOBILE FILM SHOWS IN TSZ WAN SHAN AND MORSE PARK, AND ROAD SAFETY EXHIBITIONS AT THE WONG TAI SIN AND CHOI HUNG MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY STATIONS.
OTHER PROGRAMMES WILL INCLUDE A MOBILE ROAD SAFETY TOWN TO BE STAGED AT THE CHOI WAN ESTATE PODIUM FOR EIGHT DAYS STARTING JULY 10, AND FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AT THE CHOI HUNG ESTATE BEGINNING AUGUST 7.
CAPTAIN SAFETY WILL POSE FOR A DRAWING COMPETITION AT MORSE PARK ON JULY 17. THE EVENT IS ORGANISED BY THE DISTRICT YOUTH RECREATION CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE.
ON SUNDAY (JULY 10), A PRIZE PRESENTATION CEREMONY, TO BE FOLLOWED BY A TWO-HOUR VARIETY SHOW JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE DISTRICT BOARD AND A LOCAL TELEVISION STATION, WILL BE HELD AT 2.30 PM IN THE CHOI WAN ESTATE COMMUNITY CENTRE.
THE DISTRICT OFFICER, MR PHILIP CHOK, THE POLICE DISTRICT COMMANDER, MR KEITH TIDEY, AND DISTRICT BOARD MEMBER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE, MRS PAULINE NG, WILL ATTEND THE CEREMONY.
NOTE TO EDITORS:
MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES ARE INVITED TO COVER THE PRIZE PRESENTATION CEREMONY AND THE VARIETY SHOW OF THE WONG TAI SIN ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN AT 2.30 PM ON SUNDAY (JULY 10) IN THE CHOI WAN ESTATE COMMUNITY CENTRE.
