Chief Executive Donald Tsang inspected elderly centres, arts facilities, and met locals and consumers during his visit to Kowloon City today.
He first visited an elderly day-care centre and the District Elderly Community Centre at TWGHs Wong Cho Tong Social Service Building. He joined a group of seniors in a karaoke session, and attended paper folding and exercise classes with them, before holding a discussion on their needs.
"It is the responsibility of each family to take care of their senior members. We must respect and care for the elderly of other families as we respect and care for those in our own family, and see to it that such a fine tradition is carried forward throughout the community," Mr Tsang said.
