KAM TIN ON TARGET OF PROSPEROUS GROWTH
*****
THE REGIONAL SECRETARY FOR THE NEW TERRITORIES, DR JAMES HAYES, SAID TODAY (THURSDAY) THAT KAM TIN HAD, IN RECENT YEARS, GROWN FROM A RURAL COMMUNITY INTO A MODERN TOWNSHIP IN THE NEW TERRITORIES.
SPEAKING AT THE KAM TIN TA CHIU CEREMONY, DR HAYES SAID THAT WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE PROPOSED KAM TIN BY-PASS AND OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DISTRICT IN COMING YEARS, KAM TIN TOWN WOULD BE MORE PROSPEROUS.
DR HAYES ALSO PRAISED THE TRADITIONAL TA CHIU SPIRIT OF THE TANG CLAN IN KAM TIN, WHICH NOT ONLY SHOWED THEIR RESPECT AND GRATITUDE TO TWO ANCIENT GOVERNORS OF KAM TIN, KNOWN AS +CHOW WONG YEE KUNG+, BUT ALSO CARRIED THE CLAN'S UNITY.
THE SIX-DAY LONG KAM TIN TA CHIU IS HELD ONCE EVERY TEN YEARS. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THIS YEAR'S TA CHIU WILL BE MORE THAN $1 MILLION WHICH IS TO BE SHARED BY MEMBERS OF THE CLAN.
PAPER OFFERINGS AND SOME VALUABLE ANTIQUES BELONGING TO THE CLAN, WHICH DEPICT THE CLAN'S HISTORY, WILL BE ON DISPLAY DURING THE TA CHIU PERIOD.
