+THE TASK OF KEEPING OUR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT TRACK IS NOT AN EASY ONE. THEY NEED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND HELP IN VARIOUS FORMS FOR THEIR MORAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THEY MAY BECOME CARING AND RESPONSIBLE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.
+WITH THE DISTRICT BOARD'S LEADERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION FROM MANY QUARTERS, SERVICES FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION IN TUEN MUN WILL CERTAINLY BE BETTER CO-ORDINATED AND EXPANDED,+ HE SAID.
DR HAYES ALSO PAID TRIBUTE TO THE TUNG WAH GROUP OF HOSPITALS OF THEIR STRONG SUPPORT AND ACHIEVEMENTS TOWARDS COMMUNITY SERVICES IN THE NEW TOWNS.
TRAVELLERS REMINDED ABOUT LOTTERY TICKETS *****
PEOPLE RETURNING FROM MACAU ARE REMINDED THAT IT IS AN OFFENCE UNDER THE GAMBLING ORDINANCE TO BE IN POSSESSION OF MACAU LOTTERY TICKETS.
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THAT UNDER SECTION 11 OF THE GAMBLING ORDINANCE, ANY PERSON FOUND IN POSSESSION OF A TICKET RELATING TO AN UNLAWFUL LOTTERY COMMITS AN OFFENCE, AND IS LIABLE, ON CONVICTION BY THE COURTS, TO A FINE OF $10 000 AND THREE MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT,
+WE BELIEVE THAT SOME HONG KONG RESIDENTS RETURNING FROM MACAU MAY HAVE THE MACAU LOTTERY TICKETS IN THEIR POSSESSION WITHOUT KNOWING THAT IT IS AN OFFENCE TO DO SO, HE SAID.
POSSESSION OF THESE LOTTERY TICKETS WHILE IN HONG KONG IS UNLAWFUL, AND RENDERS THE PERSON LIABLE TO PROSECUTION, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
