CE expresses sorrow over passing of Dr Vincent Cheng
****************************************************
"Dr Cheng was an esteemed banker. Over the years, he had been promoting the steady development of Hong Kong's banking industry, commanding high respect of the sector. Dr Cheng had also been very committed to serving the community. Not only had he served in various government statutory and advisory bodies, but also he had been dedicated to charitable causes and made considerable contributions to Hong Kong in wide-ranging aspects, including culture and sports, heritage preservation, and social and community services. Dr Cheng was awarded the Gold Bauhinia Star in 2005 by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government.
"I express sorrow over the passing of Dr Cheng. On behalf of the HKSAR Government, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to his family," Mr Lee said.
