THE FOUR-SESSION COURSE, ORGANISED BY THE HEALTH EDUCATION UNIT OF THE NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WAS AIMED AT MAKING THE PUBLIC AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF FOOD HYGIENE, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN THE FOOD CATERING BUSINESS.
THE COURSE COVERED SUCH TOPICS AS MICROBIOLOGY, FOOD HANDLING PRACTICES, PREVENTION OF FOOD POISONING, CLEANLINESS OF UTENSILS AND FOOD BUSINESS LAWS.

TWO MORE YIN NGAI SOCIETIES SET UP

THE WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES ORGANISED BY VARIOUS YIN NGAI SOCIETIES THROUGHOUT HONG KONG REFLECT THE DYNAMIC NATURE OF EACH SOCIETY AND THE WAY IT RESPONDS TO THE NEEDS OF ITS MEMBERS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY,
MRS JANE AKERS-JONES, WIFE OF THE SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, SAID THIS TODAY (SATURDAY) AT THE JOINT INAUGURATION CEREMONY FOR THE FIRST-TERM EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES OF THE MING WAH DAI HA AND LAI TAK TSUEN YIN NGAI SOCIETIES.
+EACH YIN NGAI SOCIETY HAS DEVELOPED ITS OWN CHARACTERISTICS. SOME PLACE MORE EMPHASIS ON LEISURE AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES OTHERS ON SOCIAL PROJECTS, EDUCATIONAL AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT,+ SHE SAID.
WITH TODAY'S INAUGURATION OF THE TWO SOCIETIES WHICH HAVE A TOTAL OF 200 MEMBERS, THERE ARE NOW 19 YIN NGAI SOCIETIES THROUGHOUT THE TERRITORY.
