Then three NEC officers, namely Faisal Abdul from NTN, Heina Rizwan Mohammad from Border District and Niraj Gurung from Tuen Mun District, shared their work experience. It was hoped that the NEC leaders would tell their respective group about these good examples to attract more aspiring NEC youngsters to join the Force.
