KAIFONG ASSOCIATION TO PROMOTE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION

* * * * *

THE SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS, MR MICHAEL SUEN, SAID THE SHAU KEI WAN KAIFONG WELFARE ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION WOULD BE PLACED IN AN IDEAL POSITION TO PROMOTE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION AFTER ITS NEW MULTI- SERVICE CENTRE WAS PUT INTO SERVICE.

SPEAKING AT A FOUNDATION STONE LAYING CEREMONY OF THE CENTRE TODAY (THURSDAY), MR SUEN SAID HE BELIEVED IT WOULD BE A POPULAR ACTIVITY CENTRE AMONG THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE OF ITS CONVENIENT LOCATION, ADDING THAT THIS WOULD HELP ENHANCE THEIR SENSE OF BELONGING.

HE

APART FROM THE HOUSING PROJECTS IN ALDRICH BAY RECLAMATION, NOTED, THE YIU TUNG ESTATE AND HING TUNG ESTATE, UPON THEIR COMPLETION IN 1996, WILL BOOST THE POPULATION INTAKE IN SHAU KEI WAN.

TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF PROMOTING A SENSE OF BELONGING AMONG BOTH NEW AND OLD RESIDENTS, WHICH WOULD HELP FACILITATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, MR SUEN SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE ORGANISATION TO DEVELOP CLOSE LINKS WITH THE NEW COMERS.

HE SUGGESTED INVITING AND ENCOURAGING NEW RESIDENTS TO JOIN THE GROUP WHICH WOULD IN TURN STRENGTHEN THE REPRESENTATIVENESS OF THE ASSOCIATION AND GET NEW BLOOD AND IDEAS.
