NEED FOR JOINT COMMUNITY EFFORT STRESSED
******
THE JOINT EFFORT OF ALL INDIVIDUALS IS AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN THE SUCCESS OF COMMUNITY BUILDING, THE FORMER DISTRICT OFF ICER (KWAI CHUNG), MR FRED TING, SAID TONIGHT (SATURDAY).
SPEAKING AT A DINNER PARTY GIVEN BY THE TSUEN WAN COMMUNITY
TO BID HIM FAREWELL, HE SAID THAT THE VIEWPOINTS OF INDIVIDUALS IN ANY ORGANISATION MIGHT DIFFER, BUT LOOKING AT IT FROM A POSITIVE ANGLE, THESE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS SHOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF STIMULATING AND COMPLEMENTING EACH OTHER.
+THE PROGRSS OF THE SOCIETY IS IN FACT BASED ON THESE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS SHOULD AIM AT THE SAME TARGET AND POOL TOGETHER THEIR EFFORTS TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FOR THEIR FELLOW RESIDENTS, + MR TING SAID.
+THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOVERNMENT POLICY TO ENCOURAGE LOCAL PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION.✦
HE POINTED OUT THAT KWAI CHUNG, OR THE TSUEN WAN NEW TOWN AS A WHOLE, WAS A COMPLICATED COMMUNITY WITH PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, BUT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE IR ROLE IN COMMUNITY BUILDING WORK.
+ IN A TOWN WITH 650 000 PEOPLE, THERE IS A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY BUILDING WORK WITH MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE'S PARTICIPATION. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PROSPERITY OF A PLACE DOES NOT REST WITH A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL OR A FAMILY ALONE,+ HE ADDED.
THE DINNER WAS HELD ALSO IN HONOUR OF AN UNOFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE DISTRICT BOARD, MR CHOW HOW-CHEN, WHO WAS RECENTLY APPOINTED A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
