THE CHIEF JUSTICE, SIR TI LIANG YANG, TODAY (TUESDAY) WELCOMED THE APPOINTMENT OF MS ALICE TAI YUEN-YING AS JUDICIARY ADMINISTRATOR.

"GIVEN HER PROVEN ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE OF HONG KONG, FAMILIARITY WITH THE WORKINGS OF THE GOVERNMENT, AND A SOUND LEGAL EDUCATION, I AM SURE MS TAI WILL MAKE A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION OF THE JUDICIARY.

"THE FACT THAT MS TAI IS FLLLY BILINGUAL IS AN OBVIOUS ADVANTAGE," SIR TI LIANG SAID.

**WITH THE STEADY EXPANSION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE JUDICIARY OVER THE YEARS, GROWING SOPHISTICATION OF HONG KONG AS AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CENTRE, AND RISING PUBLIC EXPECTATIONS FOR EFFICIENCY, THE TASK OF MANAGING THE JUDICIARY HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY COMPLEX.

"I AM PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE RECRUITMENT. THIS WAS A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE EXERCISE AND I WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE INTEREST EXPRESSED BY ALL CANDIDATES," HE ADDED.

MS TAI HAS BEEN SELECTED FROM AMONGST 267 CANDIDATES.
