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.
