Macau Health Association Vice Chairman Denis Vong Hou Piu said yesterday that as children may more easily come into contact with drugs during their summer holidays, parents should spend more time with their children, particularly during the holiday period.

Vong made the remarks on the sidelines of an anti-drug activity in a sitting-out area in Lok Yeong Garden in Fai Chi Kei. Vong, an auditor by profession, was one of the guests officiating at the event.

The Macau Health Promotion Association organised the one-day open-air event, including an anti-drug seminar, aimed at warning the public about the dangers of taking drugs. The event marked yesterday’s International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
