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.
