2008-11-15
A clean society based on integrity is conducive to ensuring people’s quality of life and fostering a level playing field for doing business, ICAC Commissioner, Dr Timothy Tong Hin-ming, said today (Saturday).
Speaking at a seminar in Hangzhou, the Commissioner pointed out that in upholding a clean society, we must keep up with the changing times and be prepared for challenges as corruption crime has become increasingly complex, clandestine and globalised.
To meet these challenges, law enforcement agencies must continuously enhance their investigative capabilities and strengthen cross-boundary and international cooperation, he added.
Dr Tong is leading an ICAC delegation to participate in a two-day corruption prevention seminar cum the launching ceremony of an anti-corruption research centre in Hangzhou.
The Commissioner commended the Hangzhou authorities for setting up the centre which will facilitate research studies of corruption issues and the sharing of experience in fighting corruption amongst different jurisdictions.
Meanwhile, ICAC’s Director of Community Relations Ms Julie Mu Fee-man shared Hong Kong’s anti-corruption experience with about 100 Mainland officials from discipline authorities, anti-corruption experts and academics at the seminar.
