PTU brings season's joy to the needy
The event was well supported by various units, including the Special Duties Unit, PTU Cadre Course 4/2004, the training "Foxtrot" Company, PTU HQ teams, and representatives from four PTU Regional Companies. Contributions have also been received from all the other PTU Regional Companies.
PTU Commandant Suen Kwai-leung kicked off the competition, which featured a series of sporting events and challenges, including pulling a 9.5 tones Saxon armoured vehicle along the drill square, the infamous "Redman Rumble" - simulated combat between officers dressed in protective suits - and the "Unit Commanders' Assault Course" which marked an exciting conclusion of the competition. The day culminated with a charity auction, which managed to raise $14,280.
As the event drew to a close, the Commandant praised the efforts and esprit de corps displayed by the participants, particularly the organising team - Foxtrot (3/2004). To-date, PTU has raised a record of $122,864, which will surely bring warmth to the needy over the winter.
