THIS YEAR, THE BURNING OF JOSS STICKS WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED INSIDE THE TEMPLE, WHILE THE BURNING OF PAPER OFFERINGS WOULD BE STRICTLY RESTRICTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TEMPLE.

+THIS WILL REDUCE POSSIBLE FIRE RISKS, PARTICULARLY WHEN SO MANY WORSHIPPERS WILL BE CROWDING INSIDE THE TEMPLE,+ HE ADDED.

AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THE SALE OR DISPLAY OF HYDROGEN- FILLED BALLOONS WOULD ALSO BE PROHIBITED, AND VENDORS OR PURCHASERS OF HELIUM GAS FILLED BALLOONS SHOULD NOT EXPOSE THEM TO OPEN FIRE BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF EXPLOSIONS.

FINALLY, MR CHAN REMINDED WORSHIPPERS TO PLACE ALL LITTERS IN RUBBISH BINS, AND PEOPLE DISCARDING RUBBISH INDISCRIMINATELY WOULD BE LIABLE TO PROSECUTION.
