NEW IMMIGRATION OFFICE OPENING
The Director of Immigration Mr. W.E. Collard will personally
issue the first travel document during the opening next week of a new
Immigration branch office in Mong Kok.
The new office will replace the existing one in Sham Shui Po
which will close at 1 p.m. on Saturday (July 15).
The work previously done by the Sham Shui Po office will now
be handled by the new Mong Kok branch until alternative premises can be
found for a larger office in the Sham Shui Po area.
However, the Mong Kok office will remain in operation to provide
an improved immigration service to residents of north-west Kowloon, even
after the other branch office has been set up.
The new Mong Kok office, which is situated at 201A-205, Fa
Yuen Street, will be formally opened by the Chairman of the Mong Kok
Kaifong Assication, Mr. Cho Shiu-chung, M.B.E. at 10.30 a.m. next Monday
(July 17).
A number of Kaifong leaders have been invited to the opening
ceremony and both Mr. Collard and Mr. Cho will address the gathering.
Note to Editors:
You are cordially invited to send a reporter and/or photographer to cover the ceremony which will take place at 10.30 a.m. on Monday, July 17, 1972. The event is expected to last one hour.
