TRIBUTE PAID TO TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS

****

TWO MEMBERS WHO HAVE JUST RETIRED FROM THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL WERE PRAISED FOR THE IR SERVICE TODAY BY THE GOVERNOR, SIR EDWARD YOUDE, AND THE SENIOR UNOFFICIAL MEMBER, MR ROGER LOBO.

JUST BEFORE DELIVERING HIS OPENING ADDRESS, THE GOVERNOR POINTED OUT THAT DR HENRY HU HAD SERVED SEVEN YEARS FROM 1976.

+! WOULD LIKE TO THANK HIM FOR HIS KEEN INTEREST IN ALL ASPECTS OF THIS COUNCIL'S WORK THROUGHOUT THESE YEARS, AND HIS ENTHUSIASM FOR THE WORK DONE BY UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS THROUGH THE UMELCO ORGANISATION,+ SIR EDWARD SAID.

THE GOVERNOR SAID DR RAYSON HUANG HAD BEEN A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL FOR SIX YEARS, FROM 1977.

+THE WORK OF THIS COUNCIL WAS A SUBSTANTIAL ADDITION TO HIS OTHER MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT DURING THE TIME HE GAVE US GENEROUSLY OF HIS TIME AND COUNSEL, SIR EDWARD SAID.

MR LOBO SAID UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS WISHED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S WARM TRIBUTE TO DR HU AND DR HUANG.

DR HU HAD BEEN A LOYAL AND DEDICATED MEMBER OF UMELCO AND A GOOD FRIEND TO EVERYONE, HE SAID.

DR HUANG WOULD ALSO BE MISSED, PARTICULARLY FOR HIS WIDE EXPERIENCE AND GREAT KNOWLEDGE, MR LOBO SAID.

AS BOTH WERE NOT LEAVING HONG KONG, UMELCO COULD, THEREFORE, CONTINUE TO DRAW IN FUTURE, FROM THEIR WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND MANY FINE QUALITIES, MR LOBO SAID.
