Today, I saw the newspaper about two participants drowning in the New World Harbour Race 2016. Although the lifeguard saved two participants, they finally die. I really feel so sad and worry. The organization must need the aged 60 or over participants to give the doctor certificate, which is that they avoid the accident to happen. Although the accident was happen, the PR did very well. It is because they did the statement. And, they control the media to report this news. The statement is that the organizer of the New World Harbour Race 2016, Hong Kong Amateur Swimming Association (HKASA), and the title sponsor, New World Development Company Limited, wish to express their sincere condolences to the two family of a Leisure Group swimmer, who passed away in spite of attempts to resuscitate her in intensive care. HKASA and New World Development Company Limited have been in contact with two family, and will provide two both with financial assistance and support. New World Development Company Limited plans to set up an education fund for two young children, provided through the New World Group Charity Foundation. Thus, I think the New World Development Company Limited and HKASA did this solution to be well.
