Mr. CHUNG Yung-ping

Mr. CHUNG Yung-ping has served in the Auxiliary Medical Corps

and the Auxiliary Medical Service for 34 years.

In past years whenever and wherever natural disasters and

emergencies strike Mr. Chung has always responded and was among the

first to be at the scene to direct AMS operations and to liaise with

other services in carrying out rescue work.

Currently he is the Chief Supervisor of Hong Kong Region and

responsible for the training and operations of members in this region.

He serves as a fine example not only to subordinate and more junior

members but also to all his fellows,

Mr. FUNG Kin-kwok

Mr. Fung is easily the most prominent individual in the field

of work with the deaf, and acknowledged as such by the deaf community

itself. As a Trade Instructor in the Social Welfare Department since 1967

he has been attached to three clubs for the deaf run by the Department.

He has organised and personally conducted an impressive number of sign

language courses, and makes himself available at all times to solve the

problems of deaf persons and their families. For over ten years, he has

undertaken handsign interpretation for the courts and other institutions

and he advises, and is consulted by, all groups formed by deaf persons

themselves, Mr. Fung's record of public service is remarkable.

selfless devotion to the deaf goes far beyond the call of duty both as

a Government officer and a member of the community at large.
