Main News :-

	In yesterday, Central-Western district board held a special meeting
for the tragedy happened at Lan Kwai Fong.

	For that, the board invited the representatives of different
government departments including Hospital Authority, Fire Service Dept and
Police Dept. Among them, the one of Police dept. was absent only. Instead of
attending the meeting, Police gave a letter to the board. It said that since 
the internal investigation and the independent inquiry are being carried on,
it was unsuitable to talk more about the tragedy; and they will explain more 
to public after the above investigation.

	However, the members of the board unsatisfied the manner of Police
seriously. They thought that it was also possible for Police to explain as
the other depts. 

	Meanwhile, some members hoped to make a phone call to Governor, Chris 
Patten, and asked him to send a Police representative. Finally, they only 
passed a motion to ask their chairman to phone the Head of Police Dept. But
they was able to find the Vice-head of the dept. only. Upon their request,
the Police dept. sent two district commanders to attend the meeting.

	The commanders repeated what they expressed in the letter. It again
made some members very unsatisfactory. 

	'For the situation occurred at the same place in last Western Ghost 
Festival, we have warned you that this place is dangerous as many people 
gather. You expressed that the Police will have a special arrangement at next 
time. Now, you should bring out your heart to explain what was happened and 
what the special arrangement is.', one member said to the commanders with 
passion.

	Consequently, there was no result in this argument. In the remaining
time of the meeting, only some preventive suggestions were discussed.

	On the other hand, the Justice who was appointed to head the 
independent inquiry started his work yesterday. He visited at Lan Kwai Fong.
Many people and reporters followed him. 

	'It is really very dangerous as there is a crowd.', he said after
the visit.

	He also expressed that the purpose of the inquiry is not to find out
who should take the responsibility, but what can be done afterwards to 
prevent the same kinds of tragedy.

Spiritual Life :-

	Are you very busy now?

	I think not since at least you still have time to see this post.

	Somebody says that I have no time to do or think the things other
than my study, work, family and love etc. The following words may be the 
one you have said and will say :-

      " When I am a child, I have no time as I want to play with my friendly 
	neighbour.

	When I am older, I have no time as I want to do my homework and 
	examination.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to work for my job.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to deal with my love.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to deal with my home.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to look after my 
	children.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to look after the 
	son of my son.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to stay at hospital.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I die."

	Do you think that there are too many things around you throughout 
your life? If you think so, please sit down on a chair and keep a moment 
silent! It can help you to think many things that you haven't thought before,
such as the existence of eternal meaning of your life. I am confident that 
it must benefit you!
