WOMAN HEALTH INSPECTOR JOINS A MAN'S WORLD

******

A WOMAN HEALTH INSPECTOR HAS JOINED THE CLEANSING SECTION OF THE NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

MISS WONG CHING-CHING, WHO IS ATTACHED TO THE KWAI CHUNG URBAN SERVICES OFFICE, HAS TAKEN A JOB WHICH HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN REGARDED AS A MAN'S WORLD.

MISS WONG, WHO OBTAINED A DIPLOMA IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FROM THE HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC LAST YEAR, SAID IT WAS OUT OF CURIOSITY THAT SHE HAD DECIDED TO JOIN THE CLEANSING SECTION.

+THE COURSE OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT WHICH I TOOK IS A VERY CHALLENGING ONE BECAUSE THE PASSING RATE OF THE EXAMINATION IS RATHER LOW,+ SHE SAID.

+ IT IS COMPETENCE WHICH COUNTED MOST IN THE JOB REGARDLESS OF THE PERSON BEING A MAN OR A WOMAN, SHE SAID.

+WOMAN CAN BE MORE CAREFUL IN DEALING WITH CERTAIN THINGS UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, + MISS WONG SAID.

THE URBAN SERVICES OFFICER OF KWAI CHUNG, MR LEE SHEUNG-YEE, COMMENTED THAT MISS WONG CARRIED OUT HER JOB AS EFFICIENTLY AS HER MALE COUNTERPARTS.
