THIS WOULD CREATE NO DIFFICULTY AS YOUNG PEOPLE ACCOUNTED FOR A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF HONG KONG'S POPULATION, HE SAID.
MOREOVER, SUSTAINED EFFORTS BY GOVERNMENT TO PROMOTE SPORTS ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST HAD PRODUCED MANY FINE SPORTSMEN AND STIMULATED WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN SPORT AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEREFORE, ALTHOUGH INCREASED SPORTS FACILITIES HAD BEEN BUILT, THEY STILL FELL SHORT OF DEMAND.
THIRD, MR CHUI WENT ON, A COMPREHENSIVE EXPANSION PLAN AND ORGANISATION WERE REQUIRED TO PROMOTE SPORTS ACTIVITIES.
THE RECREATION AND SPORT SERVICE FORMED A FEW YEARS AGO HAD BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ASPECT.
THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IN ACTIVITIES ORGANISED BY THE SERVICE WAS RAPIDLY RISING,
THE SERVICE HAD ALSO RECEIVED ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, ATHLETES AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. THIS. COUPLED WITH EFFORTS IN TRAINING AND ORGANISATION HAD ACHIEVED REMARKABLE RESULTS, MR CHUI SAID.
MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE TOOK PART IN TODAY'S GALA WHICH WAS ORGANISED BY THE RECREATION AND SPORT SERVICE, THE HEUNG YEE KUK AND THE NEW TERRITORIES SCHOOLS' SPORTS ASSOCIATION.
THE RACES WERE DIVIDED INTO MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SECTIONS AND INCLUDED PARTICIPANTS FROM THE EIGHT NEW TERRITORIES ADMINISTRATION DISTRICTS.
