One of the major publicity programmes launched by the Community Relations Department was the 13-part ICAC spot Series which was shown on the two Chinese television channels. In addition, the production of a new television drama series was a major project during the year. It has now been completed and was shown on television in May and June of this year.
On the public education front, a teaching programme entitled "The Way Ahead" was published and targetted at senior secondary students. Another teaching programme entitled "Let's talk justice" was at the final stage of preparation with the objective of promoting the concept of justice in junior forms. Teaching materials of a similar nature have been well received by primary and secondary school teachers in the past years.
In the corruption prevention field, the most significant development was the formation of Corruption Prevention Groups within departments. The objective was to involve Government departments more directly in identifying areas of their own activities which may provide opportunities for corruption. Associated with the setting up of these Groups is a trend that more and more assignment work is now carried out at the specific request of Government departments and public bodies.
Finally, I should mention that during the year under review, Mr P B Williams completed his tenure of office as Commissioner and was succeeded by Mr G T Barnes.
