"United We Stand" exhibition opens today (with photos)
****************************************************************
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Siu Chak-yee, noted that the theme of the exhibition, “United We Stand”, fully reflected the objective of holding this event. It is hoped that the community could put aside differences, not to be misled by unfounded information, and join hands with the Force to build Hong Kong’s future. He emphasised that the aspirations of the Force had remained unchanged and it would continue to protect people’s lives and maintain law and order in the spirit of “Honour, Duty and Loyalty”.
The exhibition is divided into three thematic zones, namely “Know the Facts”, “The Time Tunnel” and “Police Voice and Appreciation”. With a feature video and perspective wall art, the “Know the Facts” zone aims at offering an opportunity for participants to recognise the importance of discerning facts from fallacy. Showcasing the challenges faced by Hong Kong over the past two years, “The Time Tunnel” will inspire visitors for further review of those challenges. In addition, display panels are erected at the “Police Voice and Appreciation” zone. It not only features police officers’ sharing of what they had experienced during the major police operations, but also the appreciation messages from the public. It is hoped that members of the public can have a better understanding of the Police from another perspective.
To enhance communication between members of the public and police officers, there are a wide range of interactive activities, including photo session with Police officers from special units, mini Police vehicles experience session for kids, and a “Cheer up zone” to gather encouragement and messages to the Police.
Other officiating guests at the opening ceremony included the Chairman of the Family Council, Ms Melissa Pang; the Chief Imam of Hong Kong, Mufti Muhammad Arshad; and the Chairman of Committee on Home-School Co-operation, Mr Eugene Fong.
The exhibition is open daily from 9am to 11pm. Members of the public are invited to visit the exhibition and admission is free.
