SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The young activists who took part in Hong Kong’s disruptive and often-violent pro-democracy protests in recent years still have a future in the city, says the government’s youth affairs official.

The government is also actively reaching out to other young Hong Kongers who were left disillusioned and feel disconnected following the political turmoil through their peers, Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak told The Straits Times.
