PRESENTATION OF INSIGNIA
Forty-three people today received their insignia from the Governor,
Sir Murray MacLehose, at a special presentation ceremony at Government House.
The recipients were decorated by the Queen either in her Birthday
Honours or in the New Year Honours.
The insignia included two C.B.E.'s, six 0.B.E's, three I.8.0.'s and
10 M.B.E. S.
The gathering was reminded of the brave act of the late Dr. Lu
Chung-ling, who disregarding his own safety, warned residents about a fire in
the building in which he lived, until he was overcome by heat and smoke.
Although eventually rescued he did not recover consciousness and died.
Dr. Lu was posthumously awarded the Queen's Commendation for his
heroism, and his widow, Mrs. Lu today received the insignia.
Note to Editors:
The citations for 28 of the awards and the full list of names are issued separately as a supplement to today's Daily Information Bulletin.
