Lai Wah constituency electors reminded to vote tomorrow
The 7,346 electors of the Lai Wah constituency are urged to vote in the Kwai Tsing District Board by-election in respect of their constituency tomorrow (Sunday).
Two polling stations will be opened from 7.30 am to 10.30 pm.
They are Tung Wah Group of Hospitals' Ko Ho Ning Memorial Primary School in Lai Yiu Estate and The Incorporated Owners of Lai Chi Kok Bay Garden's Club, at 3A, Ground Floor, Block B of Lai Chi Kok Bay Garden in Lai Chi Kok.
A spokesman for the Registration and Electoral Office said an elector was required to bring along his Identity Card to the polling station. But it would facilitate the polling proceeding if he could also bring along the poll card sent to him earlier.
"Those who have lost or failed to receive their poll card are still eligible to vote at their designated polling station," he said.
They may enquire about their designated polling station by calling 2741 1445 during the polling hours.

Pilot job matching programme launched
***
The Labour Department will play an active role as a go-between to match unemployed workers with industries hard-hit by labour shortage.
A pilot job matching programme was jointly launched today (Saturday) by the Labour Department and the Employees Retraining Board (ERB) to help unemployed persons aged 30 or above to find jobs.
The Commissioner for Labour, Mr Stephen Ip, urged job-seekers aged 30 or above to register for the programme at the five designated Local Employment Service (LES) offices - Hong Kong, Wang Tau Hom, Tai Po, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun.
"Our Placement Officers will conduct in-depth interviews with job-seekers to assess carefully their job preference and training needs.
"They will then be referred to selection interviews with employers who have reported to us vacancies in their establishments," Mr Ip said.
