On the educational front, Professor Timothy Tong Wai-cheung, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Community Relations, said the public continued to show zero tolerance to corruption.
Elaborating on the findings of the 2018 ICAC Annual Survey, Professor Tong noted that on a scale of 0-10, with 0 representing total rejection and 10 representing total acceptance of corruption, the poll had registered the lowest tolerance level since 2010 with a mean score of 0.5.
The poll also found that over 80% of respondents were willing to report corruption, the highest percentage since the question was asked in 2010.
Professor Tong commended the Community Relations Department for engaging young people through the Youth Integrity Fest programme, as well as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality games and other activities on multi-media platforms. In addition, a multi-language publicity package was produced, with animation to deliver probity messages to members of the public including new arrivals, ethnic minorities and front-line workers.
Professor Tong noted that a series of events riding on the “All for Integrity” Programme would be launched to mark the ICAC’s 45th anniversary. The Commission would open up its facilities to the public during the ICAC Open Day, while a new season of the Commission’s signature television drama series, “ICAC Investigators 2019”, would hit the screen. Other community activities included coffee sharing events and a 45-day online countdown on the “All for Integrity” Facebook Fanpage, Professor Tong added.
