Support Wing arranged a visit to the Khalsa Diwan Temple in Wan Chai on May 11 to enhance Force members' understanding of the Sikh community and their way of life.
Led by Chief Superintendent of Support Branch Bradley Wright, 24 representatives from Police Community Relations Offices attended the visit. The Convener of the Temple gave a brief history of Sikhism and talked about "the Five Ks", the five articles of faith. These included "Kara" which is a bracelet, and "Kirpan" which is a ceremonial knife. The Convener also highlighted the contribution of the Sikh community to Hong Kong, including their distinguished service in the Force and other disciplined services.
The visit not only enhanced the participants' understanding of the Sikh community, but also showed the Force's commitment to promote racial equality, fairness and respect.
