ROLE OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN SOCIETY STRESSED

***

YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY IN, AND LEND FULL SUPPORT TO. DISTRICT COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TO MAKE HONG KONG A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN.

+BOTH YOURSELVES AND THE SOCIETY WILL STAND TO BENEFIT IN THE LONG RUN, THE REGIONAL SECRETARY FOR HONG KONG AND KOWLOON, MR BARRIE WIGGHAM, SAID AT THE METHODIST COLLEGE'S SILVER JUBILEE VARIETY SHOW THIS (FRIDAY) EVENING.

AS FUTURE MASTERS OF SOCIETY, YOUNG PEOPLE HERE SHOULD MAKE GOOD USE OF THEIR LEISURE TO SERVE THEIR DISTRICTS, OR TAKE PART IN ACTIVITIES ORGANISED BY SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, HE SAID.

+THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES LIKE THE CLEAN HONGKONG, ANTI-NARCOTICS OR ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGNS, OR OTHER ACTIVITIES SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, SUCH AS SCOUTING AND JUNIOR POLICE CALL, YOU WILL GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR OWN DISTRICTS AND THE SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.+

+NOT ONLY WILL IT STAND YOU IN GOOD STEAD WHEN YOU LEAVE SCHOOL, IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH USEFUL EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL ASSIST YOU IN CREATING A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG, HE SAID.

MR WIGGHAM SAID THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM HAD, AFTER TWO YEARS OF HARD WORK AND SOLID ACHIEVEMENTS, PROVED ITS WORTH.

+HOWEVER, THE SUCCESS AND FULL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM STILL COUNT ON THE STAUNCH SUPPORT AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF THE PEOPLE, HE SAID.
