Good Citizen Award Commends
40 Upstanding Citizens
四 十 名 傑 出 市 民 獲 頒 好 市 民 獎
Forty citizens who helped the police
fight crime were commended at
the Good Citizen Award (GCA)
Presentation Ceremony on June 22.
The award, presented twice a year, is
organised by the Police Public Relations
Branch with sponsorship from the Hong
Kong General Chamber of Commerce
(HKGCC).
With the help of the awardees, more
than 30 people were arrested for a variety
of offences, including manslaughter,
theft, burglary, robbery, indecent assault
and attempted obtaining property by
deception. Each GCA winner received a
certificate and a cheque of $2,000 at the
ceremony.
Three of the awardees, Chan Chunyin,
Tam Shuk-yee and Chan Kai-lok,
helped the police arrest a man who misled
police officers.
Police handled a dispute case at Hart
Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui last July. A man
involved in the case later lodged a complaint
of being assaulted by a police officer.
Chan and Tam, who passed by and witnessed
the whole incident, testified that
there was no body contact between the
complainant and the police officer. The
complainant was subsequently charged
with knowingly misleading a police
officer and jailed for two months.
Another good citizen, Lai Gee-kin, assisted
the police in the arrest of a man who
made and possessed child pornography.
During an on-line chat, Lai learnt
that a 13-year-old girl refused to pose
for nude photos as requested by a man
who recruited photo models on the
Internet. Later on, Lai found another
victim on the net and he accompanied
the two girls to report to the police. The
police subsequently arrested a man and
seized over 1,700 erotic photos involving
11 girls. The man, charged with making
child pornography, possession of child
pornography and indecent assault, was
jailed for 49 months.
Speaking at the ceremony, Police
Director of Management Services, Tang
How-kong, praised the awardees for their
gallantry and thanked them for joining
hands with the police in the fight against
crime. He pointed out that public support
for the police was crucial to maintaining
a stable and harmonious society.
HKGCC’s CEO Alex Fong, and member
of the Fight Crime Committee, Wilfred
Ng Sau-kei, also attended the ceremony.
Fong said that the Hong Kong Police
Force perform their duties impartially
and courageously, upholding the rule of
law and protecting every member of the
public. He believes that with the policecommunity
partnership, no one can get
away with committing crimes.
Before the award presentation, a new
TV Announcement in the Public Interest
(API) “Anti-Shop Theft” was premiered
to launch the Fight Crime Publicity
Campaign 2010-11.
