Peter Young is an enthusiastic and committed member of the Howick Local Board for the last six years. He is also chairman of the Botany & Flat Bush Ethnic Association that he founded to realise his vision of a ‘happy and healthy community’ – both roles fulfilling his ardent desire to work for the better in the community.
My vision has been to see happy and healthy communities working together. Considering the fact that our multicultural population is 30 per cent Chinese, 30 per cent Indian, and 40 per cent the remainder of all the other ethnicities—it is important to have good communication. The association has been going for over four and a half years and has grown quickly helped by my experience as past president of the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist.
I want to see our community prosper. We have a wonderful place to live so I want to continue to see people happy. That makes me happy. I am proud to be the Howick Local Board ethnic community’s portfolio leader. We gather leaders from many diverse groups to foster better understanding of our different needs and our vision for the future.
