     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) held the 75th Anniversary Ceremony today (November 30).

     Officiating at the ceremony, the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, said that the EMSD has been undertaking the regulatory work in the areas of mechanical and electrical safety and energy efficiency and had played an important role in Hong Kong during challenging times over the years. He said that green transformation and innovative technology are global trends as well as important dimensions of the country's pursuit of high-quality development. Government departments should play the roles of regulator, facilitator and contributor well, and he encouraged the EMSD, with its agility and spirit of innovation, to contribute to making Hong Kong a more livable, green and smart city.
      
     Speaking at the ceremony, the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr Eric Pang, said that the EMSD is committed to serving the public and client departments with a "customer-oriented and people-first" approach over the past 75 years, and proactively seeking breakthroughs in the areas of energy efficiency, I&T and talent training. The EMSD will carry on with its fine tradition, pass on experience and expertise, and continue to provide quality services.
