Secretary for Home Affairs Lau Kong-wah visited a co-working space and Tsui Ping River Garden in Kwun Tong today.

Mr Lau's first stop was INDEX, a project under the Space Sharing Scheme for Youth that supports youth startups.

Users can enjoy the shared space's hardware facilities at a concessionary rental and entrepreneurial support such as seminars and thematic conferences.

Mr Lau then toured the facilities at Tsui Ping River Garden and was briefed by the Drainage Services Department on the Revitalisation of Tsui Ping River project.

The construction of Tsui Ping River Garden involved the reprovisioning of the adjacent Shing Yip Street Rest Garden.

Occupying an area of 5,800 sq m, the garden is equipped with various facilities including a covered multipurpose area, an elderly fitness corner, a featured lawn area, a viewing deck, rain shelters, a small water feature and landscaped areas.

 Mr Lau also met Kwun Tong District Councillors during the visit.
