Charity donation by PMRS operators to the Community Chest
The four Public Mobile Radiotelephone Services (PMRS) operators today (Wednesday) donated a total sum of HK$1.1 million to the Community Chest.
According to Mr Anthony S. K. WONG, the Director-General of Telecommunications, this was the third time telecommunications operators made voluntary donations to the Community Chest in recognition of the allocation of attractive telephone numbers. He considered it beneficial for the telecommunications operators, the telecommunications users, the charitable organisations and the people in need of help.
After receiving the cheques, the Campaign Committee Chairman, Mr Charles Lee, thanked the four mobile operators for their philanthropy to the 140 social welfare agencies supported by the Community Chest and the tens of thousands of beneficiaries.
"I am also grateful to the Office of the Telecommunications Authority for making this number block assignment a charity once again, subsequent to the PCS operators charity donations in November 1996.
"This certainly helps us achieve this year's target of raising HK$190 million and more importantly, sets an example for others to follow. The Chest and I look forward to continuous support from the community to help those in need," said Mr Lee.
