MOTHER OF TRIPLETS MEETS LADY YOUDE
****
THE PROUD MOTHER OF RECENTLY BORN TRIPLETS RECEIVED A VIP VISITOR TODAY AT THEIR NEW HOME IN THE HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY'S CHO YÊU CHIEN IN KHAI CHUNG.
MRS LEUNG LEE SAU-CHUN, WHO GAVE BIRTH TO TWO GIRLS AND A BOY ON SEPTEMBER 12, PLAYED HOST TO LADY YOUDE WHEN SHE VISITED THE ESTATE THIS AFTERNOON TO SEE SOME OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE HOUSING SOCIETY,
LADY YOUDE WAS TOLD THAT MR AND MRS LEUNG, WHO ALSO HAVE A TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, WERE FACED WITH ACCOMMODATION PROBLEMS AFTER THE TRIPLETS WERE BORN.
THE CASE CAME TO THE NOTICE OF THE HOUSING SOCIETY AND ITS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AGREED THAT THE FAMILY SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SPECIAL CASE.
SINCE MRS LEUNG'S PARENTS ARE ALREADY LIVING IN CHO YIU CHUEN, IT WAS DECIDED THAT A FLAT IN THE SAME BLOCK, WHICH BECAME VACANT AT THE END OF LAST MONTH, SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO THEM.
THE LEUNG FAMILY MOVED INTO THEIR NEW HOME EARLIER THIS MONTH.
DURING HER VISIT THIS AFTERNOON, LADY YOUDE ALSO MET A NUMBER OF OTHER TENANTS, INCLUDING SOME OF THE 200 SENIOR CITIZENS HOUSED IN 130 FLATS IN THE ESTATE.
THESE SELF-CONTAINED FLATS ARE OCCUPIED BY ONE OR TWO ELDERLY PERSONS AND COMMUNAL LOUNGES ARE PROVIDED IN THE COMPLEXES. A WARDEN LOOKS AFTER THEIR INTERESTS AND ORGANISES ACTIVITIES THEM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MANAGEMENT STAFF.
FOR
LADY YOUDE LATER TOOK A LOOK AT THE SWIMMING POOL AND OTHER RECREATIONAL FACILITIES FOR THE 16 000 TENANTS OF THE ESTATE.
LADY YOUDE WAS ACCOMPANIED ON HER VISIT BY MISS SHEILA SERSALE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY, MRS MABEL HO, CHIEF HOUSING MANAGER, MRS P.L. LAM, HOUSING MANAGER OF CHO YIU CHUEN, AND MISS JANET WONG, ASSISTANT HOUSING MANAGER OF CHO YEU CHUEN.
