The Hong Kong Police Force premiered the “IDK Interactive Anti-drugs Drama” at PMQ, Central today (April 21). This innovative interactive drama aims to deliver anti-drug messages to young people, particularly primary students, and guide them to stay away from drugs.
Addressing at the premiere, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Siu Chak-yee, pointed out that 298 teenagers, aged between 10 and 20, were arrested for serious drug offences in 2022, which registered a decrease of about 30 per cent when compared with the 430 arrests made in 2021. If only students are counted, the decrease is about 40 per cent. Although the numbers showed a decline, with 17 students, aged 13 to 14, exploited by drug criminals and arrested for drug trafficking in 2022, youth involvement in drug offences is still on a growing trend. He reiterated that “even a single case matters” because the penalty for drug trafficking is very severe. He also emphasised that Police would continue to actively collaborate with different community stakeholders to promote anti-drug messages and prevent young people from being exploited by culprits.
Based on the personal experience of Mr Cheng Ming-fai, a registered social worker of the Society for the Aid and Rehabilitation of Drug Abusers, the interactive drama simulates the consequences of different life challenges and choices faced by teenagers during their adolescence with the concept of the Monopoly game. The overall experience is designed to inspire the audience to learn about “I do know” instead of “I don’t know” and refuse drugs when facing temptation. The interactive drama includes an interview with Mr Cheng after the play. Mr Cheng also shared his personal experience of drug rehabilitation during the premiere, pointing out that he had lost his family, friends and future due to drugs. He urged young people to firmly refuse drugs.
About 130 principals, teachers, parents, and students from 28 primary schools attended the premiere and participated in the interactive anti-drug education experience. The “IDK Interactive Anti-drugs Drama” will be performed in 30 primary schools across Hong Kong from April to July, with each performance accommodating 150 primary school students. For details and arrangement of the performance of the “IDK Interactive Anti-Drugs Drama, representatives of primary schools are welcome to email their contact information to ip-sip-int-1d-nb@police.gov.hk.

Infocus International Group has announced the new dates for Energy Storage online workshop which will commence live on 4th October and 12nd December 2022. Energy storage differs from other energy technologies in the breadth and complexity of its addressable market and revenue opportunities. This training course provides a comprehensive, business-focused analysis of these opportunities, allowing attendees to analyse, understand and segment them. While naturally focusing on battery storage, this course also covers the variety of competing storage technologies and describes the wide variety of problems energy storage seeks to solve, at a wide range of deployment sizes and timescales, including key issues around practical project delivery.
This course is ideal for those from the investment community and professionals who are working within the power sector in a commercial or business development role. It provides an independent perspective on the competing options, the economic environment in which storage projects operate, and the operational and revenue risks which are important to them.
The 4-days training programme provides a clear understanding of why and where storage markets are growing, what could limit this growth and what the future trends will be. So, if attendees are thinking of investing in or developing an energy storage business case, it provides attendees essential grounding in the core issues.
Past attendee from Tuas Power Generation shared that, “The course has been informative, very practical and covers a wide range of energy storage technology. It is a good introduction to ESS.”
“An excellent course. I will without a doubt recommend it to anyone interested in the interplay between energy storage systems, electricity networks and energy markets, policies, procurement and regulations. Trainer’s knowledge and group interaction makes the course not only highly informative, but also engaging and fun as we learn how to successfully transition to more environmentally sustainable energy systems,” said the past attendee from Department of Energy.
