How To Add Value to Hong Kong's Competitive Edge?

Welcoming Remarks by Mr Timothy TONG Hin-ming, Commissioner, ICAC, HKSAR

"We will not let the financial market of Hong Kong suffer just because there are a few corrupt persons. And this will not happen because Hong Kong's advantage is you, and the ICAC!"

Mr TONG reiterated the importance of maintaining a level-playing field for business to prosper and that Hong Kong has no tolerance for corruption. He also highlighted the benefits of enhancing ethical governance at the personal, corporate and community levels which the 2007 Directors' Forum aimed at.
