Mr Chairman, University Council Members, President Tong, Honoured Guests,

It is a great honour to receive this Fellowship from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and to find myself among such a distinguished group of awardees.

Although it has already been over three decades since I graduated from The Hong Kong Polytechnic, it seems just like yesterday. I am indeed very grateful to my alma mater for the education it gave me and the conferment of this precious title.

My learning at this great institution did not stop after my graduation. I was given the opportunity to serve the University Court, and the Council and its various committees for seven years until last year. I am indebted to the University, Court and Council members as well as the University Management for providing me with such valuable experience and inspiration.

It is a great joy and it has been a real benefit to me to personally witness the progress PolyU has made over the years. I am also proud of the small part I have played in supporting and participating in the continued growth and development of my alma mater. I have every confidence that PolyU will rise to the challenges ahead. I look forward to further opportunities to serve and support this great institution and to see its further advancement and continued contribution to the betterment of Hong Kong, our motherland and the world as a whole.

Thank you.
