The Secretary for Security, Mr John Lee, visited Yuen Long District this afternoon (February 27) to learn more about the law and order situation there and the livelihood conditions of the local community. He also called at a newly designed youth centre in the district.
 
      Accompanied by the District Officer (Yuen Long), Mr Enoch Yuen, Mr Lee first met with members of the Yuen Long District Council to exchange views on issues relating to the local law and order situation and people's livelihood.
 
     Mr Lee then visited the Hung Shui Kiu Youth S.P.O.T. of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG), where he was guided around the centre by youth volunteers. Comprising open and innovative design concepts, the centre also provides young people with creative and experiential learning opportunities.  
 
     Mr Lee was briefed on the youth centre's facilities and services and observed a latte art demonstration by participants of youth pre-employment training organised by the centre.
 
      Mr Lee also chatted with the winners of an app design competition and an augmented reality video production competition organised by the HKFYG to learn more about their creative ideas. He also listened to other youth volunteers giving tips on taking selfies for passport photos and media production.
 
     Mr Lee expressed his appreciation to staff of the centre for providing services at this newly designed and fun-filled venue so that local youths can enjoy learning. He also encouraged the young people to keep exploring their potential and creativity by making good use of the facilities.
