COLISEUM A SUPERB VENUE,
SAYS LORD MAYOR OF SYDNEY
IXX
THE LORD MAYOR OF AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST CITY, SYDNEY, BELIEVES THAT THE HONG KONG COLISEUM IS AN +ABSOLUTELY SUPERB VENUE+.
MR DOUG SUTHERLAND, PRESENTLY VISITING HONG KONG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVERAL YEARS, SAID HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE IMPRESSED WHEN SHOWN AROUND THE 12 500-SEAT COLISEUM.
HE BELIEVES IT COMPARES MORE THAN FAVOURABLY WITH THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE IN SYDNEY, WHICH ALSO SEATS 12 500.
+BESIDES BEING A MAGNIFICENT VENUE, IT IS ALSO A COMMANDING BUILDING THAT MAKES A VERY RÉAL CONTRIBUTION TO HONG KONG'S SPECTACULAR WATERFRONT,+ HE ADDED.
DISCUSSING CIVIC PROBLEMS WITH URBAN COUNCIL VICE CHAIRMAN, MR H.M.G. FORSGATE AND MR KENNETH T.C. LO, CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL'S RECREATION SELECT COMMITTEE, SUTHERLAND SAID THAT SYDNEY'S POLICY OF IMPOSING +FIXED-PENALTY+ LITTERING TICKETS ON LITTERERS HAD GREATLY HELPED CURB THE LITTERBUG HABIT.
CONSIDERABLY HIGHER,+ HẾ
+YOUR CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN IS MOST COMMENDABLE BUT THE FINES MUST BE HIGHER OP INED,
MR SUTHERLAND SAID HE WAS IN FAVOUR OF KEEPING UP CONTACTS WITH CITIES AROUND THE PACIFIC RIM, RANGING FROM SINGAPORE IN THE WEST TO SAN FRANCISCO IN THE EAST, +BECAUSE BY COMPARING NOTES AND DISCUSSING PROBLEMS WE CAN HELP ONE ANOTHER TO ACHIEVE CLEANER, GREENER AND HAPPIER CITIES.+
