WAN CHAI FESTIVAL A SUCCESS *****
THE 10-DAY WAN CHAI FESTIVAL WAS BROUGHT TO A SUCCESSFUL END TONIGHT (TUESDAY) WITH A DANCE PERFORMANCE AT THE QUEEN ELIZABETH STADIUM.
SPEAKING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY, THE DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR HONG KONG AND KOWLOON, MR T.H. CHAU, SAID THE FESTIVAL'S ACHIEVEMENTS WERE FAR-REACHING AND LONG-TERM, CONTRIBUTING TO THE DISTRICT'S SENSE OF IDENTITY.
+ THE WAN CHAI FESTIVAL WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SCHEME, AS IT WAS INITIATED AND STRONGLY SUPPORTED AND PROMOTED BY THE WAN CHAI DISTRICT BOARD AND OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS,+ HE SAID.
HE NOTED THAT DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION HAD HELPED PEOPLE TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS ON PROBLEMS AND MADE THEM PROUD OF THE DISTRICT ITSELF.
+ IN THIS WAY, EACH PERSON FEELS THAT HE IS PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS WELL-BEING AND IMPROVEMENT, AND IN TURN EACH PERSON BECOMES MORE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY'S AFFAIRS,+ HE SAID.
+AND THE KEY TO DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION IS PARTICIPATION.
THE WAN CHAI FESTIVAL WAS HELD TO GIVE FOCUS TO COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES IN THE DISTRICT AND TO PROMOTE PARTICIPATION IN THE DISTRICT'S AFFAIRS, HE SAID.
ALSO OFFICIATING AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY WERE THE WAN CHAI DISTRICT OFFICER, MR ROGER GARCIA DISTRICT BOARD CHAIRMAN, VRS PEGGY LAM- AND CHAIRMAN OF THE FESTIVAL ORGANISING COMMITTEE MR LEE KON.
