TAI PO VOTERS URGED TO CAST BALLOT

***

THE TAI PO DISTRICT OFFICER, MR THOMAS CHAN, SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION BY COMING FORWARD TO VOTE IN THE DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS.

SPEAKING AT THE CLOSING OF THE 1984 DISTRICT CRIME PREVENTION CAMPAIGN THIS (SATURDAY) EVENING, MR CHAN SAID THE TAI PO DISTRICT BOARD HAD ALWAYS TAKEN A SPECIAL INTEREST IN RESIDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN THE COMMUNITY.

+ IT IS THE BOARD'S OBJECTIVE TO STRENGTHEN THE LINK BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND RESIDENTS, AND TO LISTEN AND COLLATE PUBLIC OPINIONS,+ HE SAID.

MR CHAN SAID THAT IT WAS HEARTENING TO SEE THAT TAI PO RESIDENTS HAD DEVELOPED A STRONG SENSE OF BELONGING IN THE DISTRICT.

+THIS HAD DEFINITELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE MAKING OF TAI PO INTO A PERFECT NEW TOWN.

+IT ALSO SERVES AS TESTIMONY TO THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SCHEME REQUIRES ACTIVE PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT OF THE RESIDENTS, HE SAID.

+ I HOPE THOSE WHO HAVE REGISTERED AS VOTERS WILL GO TO THE POLLS ON MARCH 7,+ HE ADDED.

THE DISTRICT CRIME PREVENTION CAMPAIGN WAS SPONSORED BY THE DISTRICT BOARD AS A COMMUNITY BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
