Explomo Technical Services PTE Ltd. of Singapore and Zheng Da Auto Parts and Accessories will sponsor the "Farewell to Landmines; Kinmen Rises" kite-flying event set to take place on the beach around Jinning Township's Cih Causeway Sanjiao(Triangle) bunker. Chief Executive Chen Wei Qing of Explomo's Special Technical Service Office and others visited Kinmen County Magistrate Li Zhu Feng on May 8. Magistrate Li thought the activity had its particular meaning and said he would instruct related departments to look into the matter and give their support.
新加坡埃斯波摩公司與正大汽車材料行，預定於今年7月5日在金寧鄉慈堤三角堡週邊沙灘，舉辦「告別地雷、金門向上」攜手放風箏活動。埃斯波摩特殊技術服務所執行長陳偉青等人，5月8日下午聯袂拜會金門縣長李炷烽，李炷烽對於這項活動別具意義，也表示會請相關部門研究，來共襄盛舉。

Explomo Techinical is a company specialized in demining. Over the past years it has bid for contracts for demining and handling of duds(1) around Shueitou Pier and Wuhu Mountain areas in Kinmen.
屬於排雷專業的新加坡埃斯波摩公司，近幾年投標處理金門水頭商港、五虎山等排雷和未爆彈處理。

Li pointed out that the people in Kinmen were especially thankful that the central government had passed the law and set the deadline for removal of the landmines left from the early days when Kinmen was a war zone. However, the Ministry of National Defense should abide by(2) its commitment to the people and act with efficiency on demining work.
李炷烽指出，因早期戰爭或戰備任務留下的雷區，政府能通過法令限期排除，金門民眾對於能排雷是謝天謝地，但國防部基於對老百姓的負責，在排雷工作上應更講求效率。

Li Zhu Feng also suggested that the landmine-removing agent, after seeking the consent of the Ministry of National Defense, to donate some neutralized(3) mines and bombs to the county government to be placed on display in the military museum that Kinmen planned to build in the future. They would attest to(4) the past and tell visitors that particular period of Kinmen's history.
李炷烽也建議排雷公司，在尋求國防部同意，也將排除的廢雷、彈，將引信等排除、失去作用功能後，可保留一點數目，未來捐贈給金門縣政府，以作為未來成立軍事博物館可供陳展，見證歷史，讓觀光客能了解金門過往的一段歷史場景。

According to the schedule set by Zheng Da Auto Parts and Accessories, the "Farewell to Landmines; Kinmen Rises" kite-flying event would take place between 10:00am and 5:30pm on the afternoon of Jul. 5 on the beach by Jinning Township's Cih Causeway, Sanjiao(Triangle) Bunker. Besides the kite painting activity, a team of kite specialists would also fly traditional kites, modern kites and technical kites to entertain the spectators.
