A total of 100 dedicated civil servants from 39 bureaux/departments/organisations were awarded for their outstanding performance. Mr Law commended the awardees for their commitment to duties, their persistence in providing quality services and their spirit of pursuing excellence.

Speaking at the Award Presentation Ceremony, Mr Law took the opportunity to praise civil servants for standing fast at their posts to continue to serve the public in a dedicated and professional manner during the difficult moments in the past few months. Mr Law said, “Apart from a sense of responsibility, colleagues’ commitment to duties, I believe, arises from their love for Hong Kong. They cherish Hong Kong as their home. I am deeply proud of their effort, contribution and professional performance.”

The SCS's Commendation Award Scheme was introduced in 2004 to commend colleagues who have achieved outstanding work performance continuously for at least five years. The Scheme has a meticulous selection process which requires nominations from Permanent Secretaries, departmental heads or heads of grades, adjudication by a selection committee and final decision on the awardees’ list by SCS.
