THE MASS MEDIA WAS ALSO ASKED TO EXPOSE THE EVIL OF DRUGS, SO THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WOULD NOT MISTAKE DRUG ADDICTION AND PARTICIPATION IN TRIAD ACTIVITIES AS HEROIC ACTS.

TO KEEP IN LINE WITH THE SOCIETY'S DIVERSIFIED DEVELOPMENT, MR YEUNG ALSO ADVOCATED A COMPREHENSIVE COMPUTER EDUCATION POLICY.

+I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT WILL EXTEND COMPUTER EDUCATION TO ALL SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND EVENTUALLY THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND KINDERGARTENS.
