Houston Chinese Community Safety Issue Is Very Serious 

Today I was talking to former Fujian Association president Mr. Tang and the current president Mr. Chan about the serious robbing and shooting on Monday midnight in our area. Mr. Zheng from Fujian, China, has been shot six times and he is currently in a coma in the hospital. His life is in danger and his family is hopeless. 

We have decided to hold an emergency community meeting starting tomorrow morning at 8:30 am at our TV studio. We will have government representatives and representative community leaders from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Fujian Association to discuss how we must face the current crisis. 

President Chan from the Fujian Association has urged the police department and community leaders to lend their helping hands to address and solve this very serious public safety issue. We need to call on the community to unite against the criminals. These people are working class and their lives are really in an unsafe situation. 

Today many new immigrants are living in the southwest area of Houston and doing business here.

If the public cannot be protected,

all our lives are in danger and the economy of our community is being severely damaged.
