MAC'S IN TAI PO AND FAN LING
Saturday, April 3, 1976
Forming mutual aid committees in Tai Po and Fan Ling is the respon-
sibility of an attractive young woman, Miss Cheung Yuen-chun.
The two towns have a total of 22 MAC's and a further ten are at present
in the pipe-line.
Miss Cheung is employed by the District Office, Tai Po. She has so
far formed MAC's in ten multi-storey buildings.

"I find the work interesting as I enjoy meeting and talking to people,"
The initial response among building tenants to forming a haC, she

was much easier, while the others were uncertain that MAC's could actually
help solve the management, security and cleanliness problems in buildings.
Miss Cheung, who took up her present post seven months ago, has been
quite successful in pursuading the latter category that MAC's could work to
good effect provided that "members are keen and support is maintained."
However, she stressed that after a MAC was formed, she still had to
keep in close contact with it and help organise events such as outings and
visits by District Office staff, Police and Fire Services Department officers
in order to maintain interest among members.
The first MAC in the Tai Po/Fan Ling area was formed early in 1974.
Miss Cheung estimated that some 40 MAC's could be formed in these
two towns, and she hoped to achieve this target by the end of this year.
"But with the future development of Tai Po and Fan Ling," she added,
"there will still be scope in the years ahead."
