Retiring Commissioner Tsang Wai-hung attended various functions on his final working days after serving for 37-odd years, exchanging views and sharing experiences with the Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, senior officials, Force members and Junior Police Call (JPC) members.
Heart-to-heart talk with JPC members
At a "Sharing Session with JPC Members" held at Police Headquarters on April 23, Mr Tsang had a heart-to-heart talk with over 240 JPC members and committee members from the JPC Advanced Leader Council and the JPC Fellows.
Mr Tsang recounted his boyhood and how he set his goals after joining the Force. Encouraging the JPC members to live a full life, Mr Tsang hoped they would remain grateful, set the goals for their lives, pursue lifelong learning and strive for excellence.
In a question and answer session, the participants were most interested in Mr Tsang's skills of time management. CP said, "Police work is hectic, but I, like everyone of you, only have 24 hours a day. Therefore, we, apart from effective use of time, have to make optimal use of space, resources and manpower, and accomplish our targets."
Impressed by CP's sharing, the JPC members indicated that they learned from him that one should possess ideals and passion for work, plan for the future and put words into action.
Finally, CP said he is calling it a day but will continue to serve the community, adding that he is willing to join JPC activities and offer advice and suggestions where necessary. In response, the JPC members wished him a happy retirement.
