VISIT BY PO LEUNG KUK DIRECTORS
Annual Event At Social Welfare Department
Mr. Chan Kang-fout, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Po Leung Kuk, accompanied by nine committee members, maintained an annual
tradition by calling at the Social Welfare Department today.
The party was received by the Hon. G.T. Rowe, Director of Social
Welfare; Mr. Thomas C.Y. Lee, Deputy Director; Miss Annie Chan, Assistant
Director (Social Work); and Mr. T.P. Khoo, Senior Principal Social Welfare
Officer and head of the Family Services Division.
During a discussion, Mr. Chan praised the close and amicable
relationship existing between the Department and the Kuk. He referred to
the impending construction of a five-storey welfare building, for which the
Government had approved half of the cost, or $900,000, and he hoped the
Department would consider some additional form of capital grant to help
with interior partitioning and equipment.
Mr. Rowe said the Government, through the Department, had always
given favourable consideration to the Kuk's financial needs, and would
continue to do so.
The visit ended with a group photograph and tea.
