THE GOVERNOR. OPENS CROSS-HARBOUR TUNNEL
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, speaking from the depths of
Vistoria Harbour this evening officially opened Hong Kong's cross-harbour tunnel.
The ceremony took place at a point mid-way along the turnel.
In a short address, the Governor said that the construction of the
tunnel "shoes what can be done in Hong Kong to solve problems when we all really
set our minds to it".
He went on: "There are many other problems in Hong Kong just as urgent,
just as large, just as exciting,just as apparently insoluble, as this once seemed.
"We should surely take heart from this achievement to believe that if
this can be done, so too can many other things", he said.
Sir Murray added: "International and local business and finance, the
Government, engineers, technicians and workers of many skills, and the right
economic and political climate all have worked together and so the insoluble
has been solved, and in a remarkably short space of time."
