     In response to the passage of Safeguarding National Security Bill by the Legislative Council, the Director of Fire Services, Mr Andy Yeung, today (March 19) said that, as a member of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) disciplinary forces, the Fire Services Department (FSD) fully supports the Bill, thereby refining the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the HKSAR to safeguard national security.
