GOVERNOR VISITS VARIOUS DISTRICTS OF KOWLOON
In Connection With Clean Hong Kong Campaign
E3
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, walked through busy and crowded
streets in various parts of Kowloon this (Thursday) afternoon to see for
himself the results of the Clean Hong Kong Campaign.
It was the second such tour undertaken by Sir Murray this week. The
first took place on Monday when he paid a visit to Central and Wan Chai districts
on the island.
During his tour today, the Governor visited San Po Kong, Kowloon City,
Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei. He showed keen interest in the state of cleanliness in
these areas before and after the launching of the drive to clean up Hong Kong.
In the course of his tour, Sir Murray also chatted with some of the
residents to find out their opinion on the success of the drive.
The Governor, accompanied by Mr. J.M. Rowlands, Deputy Secretary
for Home Affairs, began his tour in San Po Kong.
On arrival there, he was met by the City District Commissioner
(Kowloon), Mr. James So, members of the San Po Kong Area Committee and other
Government officers.
Sir Murray then proceeded to Yin Hing Street where he saw a piece of
redeveloped Crown land. The site, which was previously used illegally as a
dumping ground for junk and refuse, has now been turned into a turfed area.
His next stop was Ngan Hon Street, Kowloon City, where the Governor,
accompanied by members of the Hok Yuen and Tai Wan Yuen Area Committees, saw the
general environment in private streets.
