Over 100 officers of the ICAC were today (Thursday) awarded commendations in recognition of their outstanding performance, professionalism and devotion to the fight against corruption.
Speaking at the 2015 Awards Presentation Ceremony, ICAC Commissioner Mr Simon Peh Yun-lu noted that ICAC officers had achieved remarkable results in enforcement, corruption prevention and education work in the past year.
Nevertheless, Mr Peh reminded graft fighters that there was no room for complacency. Instead, they must continue to sharpen their professionalism and capability in order to cope with rapid changes and stay ahead of challenges in maintaining Hong Kong’s probity.
