Brave former Immigration Assistant awarded Queen's medal
A former Immigration Assistant, the late Mr Ng Hung-shek, has been awarded the highest honour for civilians by the Queen for his bravery in helping to apprehend five armed robbers on March 20, 1990.
He was shot at the back by one of the robbers and died shortly afterwards.
His father, Mr Ng Yuet-sang, received the George Medal (Posthumous) on behalf of his son during an investiture at the Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
"It is encouraging to know that Mr Ng's selfless act of courage was given the highest recognition," the Director of Immigration, Mr Laurence Leung Ming-yin, said.
"His immense sense of law and order and civic duty have epitomised the conduct of a good citizen and a member of a disciplined service," he added.
The George Medal is awarded to civilians for gallantry of an extremely high order. It is recommended only sparingly. The last award of this medal to Hong Kong people was in 1973.
