Immigration staff commended for outstanding service
The Deputy Director of Immigration, Mr Christopher Lee Ka-keung, presented commendation certificates to 26 staff at a ceremony held in the Immigration Department Headquarters this (Friday) afternoon.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Lee said the department had experienced another very busy year in 1995.
"With limited resources, we have experienced upsurge in passenger traffic at control points and ever-increasing workload at various offices.
"The preparation for the issue of Hong Kong Special Administration Region passports and the planning and implementation of a series of automation activities have also called for our staff's extra effort in meeting the new challenges."
Mr Lee congratulated the recipients of the commendation certificates stating that despite the exceeding tight manpower resources, they had demonstrated an extraordinary degree of professionalism and exemplary devotion to the service.
Their outstanding performance had brought them not only personal pride and achievement, it also helped project a good image of the department, he said.
Amongst the 26 staff receiving commendation, Senior Immigration Officer Leung Kam-kwong and 18 other officers of the Special Investigation Section, were commended for their outstanding efforts and high degree of professionalism in a joint operation with the United States Immigration and Naturalisation Service.
The operation resulted in the successful neutralisation of a sophisticated international criminal syndicate and the arrest of 18 people in Hong Kong, 14 in New York and seven in Frankfurt, who were involved in arranging PRC nationals to enter the USA illegally via Hong Kong and other countries by using forged or unlawfully obtained travel documents.
