IMMIGRATION OFFICERS PRAISED
Dr. Chung Sze-yuen, an Unofficial Member of the Legislative Council,
today praised immigration officers for their part in creating a good
image of Hong Kong.
Speaking at a passing-out parade of Assistant Immigration Officers,
Dr. Chung said that Hong Kong had transformed itself from a small entrepot
to a world famous industrial centre in less than 20 years.
"Today the name of Hong Kong is reaching far and received in most
places with considerable respect." he said.
Dr. Chung urged the graduating immigration officers to keep
up and improve the good impression of Hong Kong already held by international
travellers.
It would be unrealistic to xpect our tourist industry to continue
to grow if our visitors were made to feel unwelcome with a cold and
discourteous reception, he said.
