"Cheung Hok-yau" awarded for good service
*
The quality service of Mr Cheung Hok-yau and three other staff members of the Education Department paid off when they were presented with the Education Department's Staff Incentive Award.
Appearing with Mr Cheung in the presentation ceremony are the three other winners: Ms Hui Sau-king, Ms Or Shuen- ling and Mrs Chu Lee To-chu.
Presenting the awards, which comprised a certificate of merit and a watch embossed with the department's logo, the Director of Education, Mr W K Lam said all staff members should keep up the service in helping the public with an open and friendly attitude.
Mr Cheung Hok-yau, Clerical Officer of Sham Shui Po District Education Office, was awarded not because he has the same name as a local popular singer but his friendliness and helpfulness in receiving the public.
With his sincere and frank manner in dealing with parents of new immigrant children from China seeking advice and assistance, he was able to answer their enquiries to their satisfaction.
Mr Cheung has no difficulties in communicating with visitors from different walks of life as he can speak English and several Chinese dialects, including Putonghua, Chiu Chow, Hakka and Cantonese.
