POLICE Choir members believe that their performances help bring the Police and the public closer. ¡@¡@The Choir often performs in public - from big outdoor events organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department to smaller occasions for chronically ill patients in hospital. ¡@¡@Choir members also put their talents to good use by singing for charity. Last year they received plenty of praises for their spectacular performance during the 'Civil Service for the Chest' event. ¡@¡@Choir member Sergeant Chan Yi-fong said that music was a magical tool that brought people of different backgrounds together. ¡@¡@"Once we start singing, the audience are attracted by our performance and some of them will even stay behind after the show to talk to us," he said. ¡@¡@Another member, Assistant Clerical Officer, Betty Au Yu-ling said all Choir members were very encouraged that their performances could bring happiness to other people. ¡@ "Every one of us is willing to spend our spare time and effort to practise singing because we believe that the more happiness we bring to others, the more happiness and satisfaction we'll get in return," she said. |

"YOU! I will get you! And those dreadful babies!" The ugly-faced
kidnapper began to move menacingly along the train towards them, his face
twisted into a terrible scowl. 
¡@¡@"Get out of my way!" the kidnapper screamed. He was absolutely
furious, pushing the old man out of his way. The other passengers gasped in
surprise as the old man fell to the floor. One of them reached into his pocket
for his mobile phone.
