Well-respected social activist Mrs Elsie Tu today (Aug 24) received an update of Hong Kong’s latest anti-corruption work from the directorate of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Visiting the ICAC Building, she was received by the Commissioner, Dr Timothy Tong Hin-ming, the Head of Operations, Mr Daniel Li Ming-chak, and other senior officers.
Mrs Tu was given a guided tour at the ICAC Exhibition Hall by Dr Tong and Mr Li recounting ICAC’s evolution and achievements in its 35 years of operation.
Dr Tong said that Mrs Tu was held in very high regards in Hong Kong as a pioneer graft fighter championing the cause of anti-corruption.
The Commissioner also said that many ICAC officers who did not have the opportunity of working with Mrs Tu looked up to her as a guiding inspiration.
Mrs Tu congratulated the ICAC on its success in curbing the once rampant corruption situation in Hong Kong.
“The ICAC has changed the face of Hong Kong and enjoys a very good reputation abroad,” she said.
On behalf of the ICAC, Dr Tong presented her with an album containing photographs from Hong Kong’s early graft-fighting years and an introduction on ICAC’s current scope of work.
Also greeting Mrs Tu today were the Director of Investigation (Government Sector), Mr Ryan Wong, the Director of Community Relations, Ms Julie Mu, Director of Corruption Prevention, Mrs Jean Au Yeung and the Assistant Director of Administration, Mrs W.K. Wong.
