Ms Tam Hoi-yin is Hong Kong's most courteous Immigration control officer.
The Director of Immigration, Mr Simon Peh Yun-lu, and the Deputy Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Mrs Daisy Lam, today (April 28) presented awards and souvenirs to Ms Tam at the Staff Motivation Scheme presentation ceremony at Immigration Headquarters.
"The aim of the scheme is to encourage staff devotion to work and to strengthen their sense of belonging. This, in turn, will enhance quality of service," Mr Peh said.
He said the Most Courteous Immigration Control Officers Election in 2008 was the 13th campaign and its objective was to promote a customer-focused service culture in the Government and help promote Hong Kong tourism. Mr Peh thanked all frontline Immigration control officers at the various control points for their efforts in providing efficient and courteous service to travellers.
Mr Peh 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.
Mr Peh also presented awards to the other winners of the Most Courteous Immigration Control Officers Election Campaign and the Christmas Card Design Competition.
