COOPERATION IMPORTANT FOR BUILDING PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY

*****

THE IMPORTANCE OF COOPERATION AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE LOCAL PEOPLE IN BUILDING A STABLE AND PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY WAS STRESSED TODAY BY THE TSUEN WAN DISTRICT OFFICER, MISS ELAINE CHUNG.

SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE WEEK-LONG TSUEN WAN EAST AREA DAY, SHE NOTED THAT THE DISTRICT WAS DEVELOPING VERY RAPIDLY.

AS EXAMPLES, SHE SAID THE NEWLY COMPLETED FERRY PIER, THE PLANNED TRANSPORT COMPLEX, GOVERNMENT OFFICES AND THE SPORTS CENTRE AT THE TSUEN WAN BAY RECLAMATION, AND THE EXTENSION OF THE YEUNG UK ROAD SPORTS GROUND ALL SIGNIFIED THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT.
