+ THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT IT LOOKS TO BRITAIN TO SHOW THE WAY, HE SAID.
AN OFF-TAKE BY BRITAIN OF A FURTHER 500 VIETNAMESE REFUGEES WOULD ENABLE HONG KONG TO PERSUADE OTHER COUNTRIES WHICH HAD BEEN SO GENEROUS IN THE PAST TO TAKE MORE, HE SAID.
+FAILURE TO DEMONSTRATE ITS WILLINGNESS TO HELP WILL BOTH SERIOUSLY UNDERMINE BRITAIN'S CREDIBILITY IN HONG KONG AND COMPEL US TO RECONSIDER OUR GENEROUS POLICY OF FIRST ASYLUM,+ HE ADDED.
EDUCATE YOUTHS TO COMBAT TRIADS *****
THE TRIAD PROBLEM WAS DESCRIBED TODAY (THURSDAY) BY THE HON YEUNG PO-KWAN AS A VICIOUS DISEASE WHICH WOULD ERODE THE OVERALL STABILITY OF SOCIETY AND CALLED ON GOVERNMENT TO TAKE EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO COMBAT IT.
SPEAKING DURING THE SECOND DAY OF THE DEBATE ON THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS MR YEUNG SAID THAT IN ADDITION TO INCREASING PENALTIES, THE MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO COMBAT TRIADS WAS TO EDUCATE YOUNG PEOPLE TO ELIMINATE TOTALLY THEIR MISPLACED ADMIRATION FOR CHIVALRY,
+THIS IS BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE OFTEN MISTAKE TRIAD MEMBERS FOR HEROES AND UNCONSCIOUSLY CHERISH A SENSE OF ADMIRATION FOR THEM, + HE SAID.
MR YEUNG SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THE POLICE EMPHASISED THAT THE INFILTRATION OF TRIADS INTO SECONDARY SCHOOLS WAS NOT THAT SERIOUS, THE POLICE MIJST CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN CLOSE CONTACT WITH SCHOOLS AND ORGANISE MORE SEMINARS.
+ ON THE OTHER HAND, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE AVAILABLE MORE RESOURCES TO THE POLICE, SO THAT MORE STUDENTS COULD BECOME MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR POLICE CALL AND MORE PROPER OR MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR THEM,+ HE SAID.
AS THE TRIAD PROBLEM WAS CLOSELY RELATED WITH THE DRUG PROBLEM, MR YEUNG SAID HE BELIEVED IT WAS NECESSARY TO PREVENT YOUNG PEOPLE FROM GETTING INVOLVED IN DRUG TRAFFICKING.
