Dedicated service in Labour Department recognised

The Commissioner for Labour, Mr Stephen Ip, yesterday (Tuesday) presented a retirement souvenir to the Deputy Commissioner for Labour, Mr Yiu Yan-nang, in recognition of his 30 years' service in the Labour Department.

Mr Yiu joined the department in 1965. Since then, he has devoted his time and talent to various areas of work including labour relations, industrial safety and health, trade union affairs, employment services as well as employees' compensation.

"Mr Yiu has made valuable contribution to the department especially in promoting efficiency and work simplification," Mr Ip said at the presentation ceremony held at the conference room of the Central Government Offices.

"His enthusiasm for work and readiness to offer constructive ideas are worth learning by staff of the department," he added.

Mr Yiu first joined the Government in 1957 as a Health Inspector. He will be on pre-retirement leave early next month.

Mr Ip also presented retirement souvenirs to eight other veteran members of the department, 30-year meritorious service certificates and gold pins to three staff and 20-year meritorious service certificates to 22 others.

"Your perseverance in work and hard working attitude have contributed to the high efficiency of government operation and its good service to the public," Mr Ip told the recipients.
