SCS expresses sorrow over passing of Mr Ambrose S K Lee

     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, today (August 14) expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Mr Ambrose S K Lee.
      
     Mrs Yeung said, "Mr Lee served Hong Kong for an extended period of time. He was an outstanding civil servant before he took up the posts of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Secretary for Security. Mr Lee joined the Immigration Officer grade of the Government in 1974 and assumed the post of Director of Immigration in 1998. He made significant contributions during his leadership of Hong Kong's immigration service in the years following the return to the Motherland. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr Lee for his contributions to the civil service and, on behalf of the Civil Service Bureau, express our deepest condolences to his family."
