The Chairman stressed the importance of community joint effort in the fight against the drug problem in Hong Kong.
"A concerted effort involving government departments, voluntary agencies, commercial interests and individuals can really make an impact on the situation.
"We should therefore spare no efforts in recruiting our community members in the campaign against drugs," he said.
Aside from schools and voluntary organisations, the private sector has also joined in by turning an idea into reality, Professor Chen noted.
"One firm has generously contributed its transportation facilities in the delivery of canvas and latex paints to all participating schools and organisations, while another firm has been kind enough to undertake the strenuous work of cutting and sewing the 6,000 canvas pieces.
"Members of the Visual Arts Society have created a master work for superimposing onto this huge painting," he said.
"The joint efforts made in the past few months speak for themselves. They show that the community can gather together to beat drugs," he added.
