MBE (Cont'd)

Mr. LAU Wong-fat, JP

Mr. Lau is one of the most capable local leaders in

the New Territories in recent years and is currently Chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk. Chairman of the Pok Oi Hospital Board of Directors in 1975 and a founder member of the

New Territories Rotary Club, Mr. Lau was a member of the 1978

Working Party on New Territories Urban Land Acquisition whose

recommendations have helped substantially in facilitating the

resumption of land for development. Throughout the years, he

has also made substantial donations to various social welfare,

schools and university research projects.

As the Chairman

of Yan Oi Tong, a local charitable organisation, he is whole- heartedly steering the Tong's efforts in building a $33 million

community and indoor sports centre, first of its kind in Hong

Kong. His most valuable contribution, however, lies with his

chairmanship of the Tuen Mun Rural Committee and membership of

the Tuen Mun District Advisory Board. In both capacities, he

has been forthcoming with suggestions and ideas to the District

Office and Government departments in improving Government performance at the district level, in promoting the welfare of local residents, and in smoothing the process of transformation

of a rural village into a modern new town.

Mr. John Frederick LINENNEN

Mr. Linennen joined the Government as a Probationary Health Inspector in 1949 and was promoted to Superintendent of Urban Services in 1974. He has extensive experience in all aspects of the Health Inspectorate work, and has served the public with outstanding devotion and loyalty. In addition he has taken an active part in training junior members of the Health Inspectorate and lectures on public health to medical

students in the University of Hong Kong.
