Mr Sunny Iu Kee-sun is Hong Kong's most courteous immigration control officer.
The Director of Immigration, Mr Lai Tung-kwok, and the Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Mr Anthony Lau, today (March 12) presented awards and souvenirs to Mr Iu at the Staff Motivation Scheme presentation ceremony at Immigration Headquarters.
"The aim of the scheme was to encourage staff devotion to work and to strengthen their sense of belonging. This, in turn, will enhance quality of service," Mr Lai said.
He said the "Most Courteous Immigration Control Officer Election" in 2007 was the 12th campaign and its objective was to promote a customer-focused service culture in the Government and help promote Hong Kong tourism. Mr Lai thanked all frontline Immigration control officers at the various control points for their efforts in providing efficient and courteous service to travellers.
Mr Lai thanked the Tourism Board for its support in making the Most Courteous Immigration Control Officers Election Campaign a success. The winner was named the Hong Kong Courtesy Ambassador by the board.
