REENA Prem Khua has strange concepts of the examples which should be set for children (South China Morning Post, May 11). She visits parks and is lucky enough to witness people expressing their affection for each other, but is unwilling to share this experience with the younger generation. After all, they may ''catch on'' and start behaving so shamefully themselves. Perhaps she is keen to prepare Hongkong for 1997 - the communists don't condone public displays of affection either. Such disgraceful behaviour should therefore be restricted to dark and dingy places - it is immoral after all - whilst the kiddies are left in the parks with all those grown-ups, who are too hung up or bad tempered to display positive emotions openly (at what age should we draw the line for holding hands, by the way?). Perhaps Reena Prem Khua could suggest some other pleasant locations, where courting couples can commit their evil acts - would government housing estates, MTR tunnels and public toilets be suitable? Having purged our parks of such disgusting behaviour, we can then concentrate fully on showing the kiddies what is good for them, by carefully avoiding any bodily contact and being thoroughly horrible to each other. We'll do anything for a ''cleaner'' Hongkong. ANNE DETHLEFSEN Mid-Levels
