Updated at 6.42pm: One of Hong Kong's leading broadcasters will lend her support to a campaign to discourage young people from taking drugs.
The government said on Thursday that Blanche Tang Oi-lam, would join the third meeting of 'Teen Gather' on Saturday to discuss her views on drug abuse. She will be joined by more than 40 young people.
Co-organised by the Narcotics Division, Security Bureau and Radio Television Hong Kong's 'Teen Power', the online programme aims to promote anti-drug messages to young people vulnerable to substance abuse.
The anti-drug campaign comes in the wake of a rising number of drug crimes involving young people in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The use of designer drugs like 'ice' was also becoming more common at 'rave' parties in the territory.

The participants will watch an interactive film about a drug-related scenario after joining a guided tour of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Drug InfoCentre at 10.30am.
