TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT 'TELA' WORK ******
MEMBERS OF THE SAI KUNG DISTRICT FIGHT CRIME COMMITTEE WENT TODAY (TUESDAY) TO SEE HOW THE TELEVISION AND ENTERTAINMENT LICENSING AUTHORITY (TELA) CARRIES OUT ITS WORK.
DURING THE TWO-HOUR VISIT, THEY WERE BRIEFED BY TELA STAFF ABOUT THE AIM, CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES OF FILM AND TELEVISION CENSORSHIP. THEY ALSO LEARNED HOW OBJECTIONABLE SCENES ARE CUT FROM FILMS, AND HOW TV PROGRAMMES AND ADVERTISEMENTS ARE EXAMINED.
DISTRICT OFFICER, MISS CARRIE CHENG SAID THE VISIT WAS DESIGNED TO ENABLE MEMBERS TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK OF VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS AND THEIR TERMS OF REFERENCE IN DEALING WITH A PARTICULAR SUBJECT.
+THROUGH SUCH VISITS, MEMBERS WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO MAP OUT THEIR PLANS PROPERLY IN THE FIGHT CRIME CAMPAIGN AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, SHE SAID.
THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN HOLDING REGULAR MEETINGS WITH VARIOUS LOCAL ORGANISATIONS, LIKE MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES AND OWNERS CORPORATIONS TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS OF DEALING WITH SERIOUS CRIME, SUCH AS ROBBER IES AND BURGLAR IES,
A SEMINAR ENTITLED +COMMUNITY AGAINST CRIME+ WILL BE HELD NEXT MONTH TO ENCOURAGE MASS COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN BEATING CRIME IN THE DISTRICT,
+EVENTS DESIGNED FOR YOUTH PARTICIPATION HAVE ALSO BEEN ORGANISED AS YOUTH CRIME CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR CONCERN AMONG COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND SCHOOL PRINCIPALS,+ MISS CHENG SAID.
THESE INCLUDE A FIGHT YOUTH CRIME CAMP+ AND A FIGHT CRIME BOOKMARK COMPETITION+, WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DISTRICT'S CAMPAIGN IS A FIGHT CRIME CARNIVAL TO BE HELD AT THE TANG SHIU KIN SPORTS GROUND IN JANUARY.
THE SAI KUNG DISTRICT BOARD AND THE CITY AND N.T. ADMINISTRATION HAVE SPENT ABOUT $52 000 ON THE DISTRICT FIGHT CRIME CAMPAIGN.
