2016-7-23
An ICAC publication featuring articles on integrity and positive values penned by over 50 celebrities and prominent figures from different sectors made its debut at the Hong Kong Book Fair today (Saturday).
Speaking at the launching ceremony of the publication, the ICAC’s Director of Community Relations Mr Raymond Ng Kwok-ming said the publication was part of the ICAC’s continuous efforts in fostering moral education to young people from kindergarten children to university students.
“By nurturing positive values at an early age, we hope that young people will be well equipped to resist the temptation of corruption in future and uphold Hong Kong’s core value of probity,” Mr Ng added.
Mr Ng also called on parents to actively participate in ICAC activities under the All for Integrity territory-wide programme in the coming months.
“Parents, as close partners of the ICAC in promoting moral education, play an essential role in passing the torch of integrity to their children,” he said.
Joining Mr Ng at today’s launching ceremony was Professor Lee Wing-on, convenor of the ICAC Periodical Editorial Advisory Committee.
Celebrities contributing to the publication include renowned novelist Louis Cha Leung-yung, Executive Council member Bernard Charnwut Chan, Professor Joseph Sung Jao-yiu, President of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Lilian Lui Lai-hung, Principal of Yuen Kong Kindergarten, Hong Kong cyclist Sarah Lee Wai-see, artiste Miriam Yeung Chin-wah and movie director Adam Wong Sau-ping. They are also long-term partners of the ICAC in promoting youth education.
To add colour to the publication, well-known animator and film director Raman Hui Shing-ngai was invited to furnish the publication with his masterful illustrations.
The publication, which is being distributed to the public through ICAC activities at the Hong Kong Book Fair, is produced to mark the 25th anniversary of the ICAC’s Moral Education Periodical which has enjoyed wide readership among teachers, youth workers and students.
Since 2014, the ICAC has participated in the annual Hong Kong Book Fair and taken the opportunity to promote the Commission’s anti-corruption and moral education publications as well as audio-visual productions.
This year the ICAC booth, themed on “All for Integrity”, the Commission’s multi-year territory-wide programme, is located at the Children Paradise Section in Hall 3B - C25 of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The booth also features a “Children’s Corner” where visitors can engage in parenting activities such as postcard-colouring, photo-taking, tongue-twister games, quizzes and promotional video shows.
Artiste Lawrence Cheng Tan-shui today (Saturday) also hosted a story-telling session for the ICAC at the Children' Paradise Section to share positive values and parenting experience with the audience.
Local comic illustrator “Bigsoil” will attend an autograph session tomorrow (Sunday) to promote the ICAC message of reporting corruption.
