I hope, too, that the community will accept that the facilities we need to help present and former drug abusers, have to go somewhere, and that they don't represent a danger to a neighbourhood. A much bigger danger to every neighbourhood comes from not having the means to treat those who are sick from taking drugs.
There's something for all of us to do to get this campaign off the ground. Something for everyone parents, teachers, employers, sponsors, trade unions, social workers, youth groups, police. A part for everyone to play.

Does it matter? Of course it matters.
Can it really work? Heaven help us if it doesn't.
We've had the warning. We've got the time. And the resources. No one will forgive us if we throw away this chance.

EPD spokesman on HK. Stadium noise monitoring
In response to press enquiries on noise monitoring results at the Hong Kong Stadium today (Sunday), a spokesman for the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) said:
"The amplified. music noise of the new sound system was successfully controlled by Wembly International to within the legal limits during the day and evening periods.
"The only exceedance ( 67 - 71 db(A) ) at So Kon Po Cottage Area during the evening period was due to crowd noise. Since there have been fewer complaints than previous concerts, we feel that we should seek legal advice on whether it is fair and reasonable to include crowd noise into the noise assessment."
