I am most delighted and honored to be bestowed with the Outstanding Alumni Award 2022 by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), my alma mater. I am indebted to it for nurturing in me a passion of lifelong learning and the aspiration to serve the community to the best of my knowledge and abilities.
With decades of proud tradition, Hong Kong PolyU has been a home where engineers, talents, thinkers, inventors and leaders come from. Indeed, this prestigious alumni award should not just belong to me, but all my fellow engineer graduates who have helped build Hong Kong over the years into Asia’s world city.
Engineers in Hong Kong have made achievements ahead of the curve, turning challenges into opportunities, as well as ahead of their time, making bold advances to break new ground. Our shared mission is to bring more than bricks and mortar to our people, but also innovation, capacity building and sustainability to construction in our city. Together we will continue the pursuit of excellence and impact in driving our professional and manpower development, so as to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a regional leader in construction for many generations to come.
