FOURFOLD APPROACH TO TACKLE PROBLEM SUGGESTED
*****
LEGISLATIVE COUNCILLOR. THE HON YEUNG PO-KWAN LIKENED, THE TRIAD PROBLEM TO A VICIOUS DISEASE AND SUGGESTED THE GOVERNMENT TO ADOPT A FOURFOLD APPROACH TO TACKLE IT.
SPEAKING AT THE ADJOURNMENT DEBATE IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TODAY (WEDNESDAY), MR YEUNG SAID AS THE INFLUENCE OF THIS DISEASE WAS SO FAR-REACHING AND AS THERE WAS NO BASIC CURE, HE FELT THAT THE PRINCIPAL TASK WAS TO FACE REALITY AND ADOPT EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO CONTROL AND ALLEVIATE THE STATE OF ILLNESS SO THAT IT WOULD NOT SPREAD AND DETERIORATE.
HE THEREFORE SUGGESTED THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD COUNTER THE PROBLEM WITH FOUR MEASURES AT THE SAME TIME, NAMELY STRINGENT POLICIES, REHABILITATION, LONG-TERM ATTENTION AND PREVENTIVE WORK.
