The Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Tsang Tak-sing, today (July 21) made the following statement on his retirement:
"I became a full time member of the Central Policy Unit in 1998 and assumed the post of Secretary for Home Affairs on July 1, 2007. It was my great honour to join the Special Administrative Region Government and serve the people. Now I am glad to retire.
During my tenure, I had the support and assistance of the Chief Executive, colleagues, staff of the Home Affairs Bureau and stakeholders in the community in fulfilling my tasks and in promoting developments of policy portfolios under the Home Affairs Bureau.
I have confidence in my successor and believe he will master the job. Our handover is smooth.
I would also like to thank the media for their attention and report coverage over the years."
