*****
THE NEW BOTTLING HALL OF THE SAN MIGUEL BREWERY AT SHAM TSENG WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE COMPANY'S CONTINUED CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE OF HONG KONG, THE GOVERNOR, SIR EDWARD YOUDE, SAID TODAY.
+1 WELCOME THIS KIND OF COMMITMENT AS DEMONSTRATED BY SAN MIGUEL,+ SIR EDWARD SAID.
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE BOTTLING HALL, THE GOVERNOR SAID:
+IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO BE HERE TODAY FOR THE OPENING OF THE NEW BOTTLING HALL OF SAN MIGUEL BREWERY.
+THIS HALL IS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH TWO HIGH-SPEED BOTTLING LINES AND A FULLY AUTOMATIC FILTRATION SYSTEM. IT WILL SATISFY DEMAND FOR THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS WELL INTO THE 1990'S.
+DURING THE THIRTY FIVE YEARS SINCE IT BEGAN BUSINESS HERE, SAN MIGUEL HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS CONFIDENCE IN HONG KONG BY CONTINUOUSLY UPGRADING AND EXPANDING ITS PRODUCTION FACILITIES. THE INVESTMENT WHICH THE COMPANY HAS MADE IN THIS NEW HALL IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE COMPANY'S CONTINUED CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE OF HONG KONG, WELCOME THIS KIND OF COMMITMENT AS DEMONSTRATED BY SAN MIGUEL.
+APART FROM ITS BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, SAN MIGUEL HAS ALSO GIVEN SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT TO COMMUNITY PROJECTS. THE COMPANY'S GENEROUS DONATION OF SCHOLARSHIPS TO OUR UNIVERSITIES, THE POLYTECHNIC, AND THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTES DURING THE PAST TWELVE YEARS, COUPLED WITH ITS FIRM SUPPORT IN THE PROMOTION OF THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SCHEME AND OTHER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, ARE GOOD EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRY'S CONTRIBUTION TO A BETTER HONG KONG.
+I HAVE MUCH PLEASURE NOW IN DECLARING THIS NEW BOTTLING HALL OPEN AND I WISH SAN MIGUEL CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE YEARS AHEAD.+
