Hong Kong Commissioner of Police Raymond Siu Chak-yee has said he expects the city’s law and order to continue to improve and become more stable as he looked back over his 36 years in the force before his term ends next month.
Speaking at a passing-out parade at the Hong Kong Police College in Wong Chuk Hang on Saturday, Siu said he had mixed emotions recalling his decades of working to eliminate violence and uphold justice, adding that being an officer was not only a job but also a passion that brought him immense satisfaction.
“It is because of this original intention and this satisfaction that the fire in my heart is still burning today,” he said. “I have no regrets in my life for being a member of the police force and fighting alongside all my colleagues, sharing the joys and sorrows.”
He said he witnessed the challenges the force had overcome and the changes it had undergone, urging the new graduates to continue ensuring Hong Kong remained the world’s safest and most stable city.
“I firmly believe that Hong Kong’s law and order will continue to improve and move towards a more stable and ideal situation, where every resident will be able to live and work in peace and contentment,” he said.
Siu also shared several stories about how the public appreciated police’s help and care for those in need as he encouraged new officers to demonstrate professionalism and prioritise residents’ well-being.
