***********************

     The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, will depart for an official visit to Singapore tomorrow (February 16) to learn about its local community engagement work and explore opportunities for youth exchanges between Singapore and Hong Kong. The Director of Home Affairs, Mrs Alice Cheung, will join the visit.

     During Miss Mak's visit to Singapore, she will call on the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and visit the People's Association, the Community Development Council and the Community Club to understand the work and experience of local youth services, community connections and district building.
