In response to the passage of Safeguarding National Security Bill by the Legislative Council, the Director of Fire Services, Mr Andy Yeung, today (March 19) said that, as a member of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) disciplinary forces, the Fire Services Department (FSD) fully supports the Bill, thereby refining the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the HKSAR to safeguard national security.
Mr Yeung said, "It is the constitutional duty of the HKSAR to safeguard national security. I have every confidence that upon completion of the enactment of the legislation for safeguarding national security, Hong Kong will be able to focus on the development of society, people's livelihood and economy, and ensure the steadfast and successful implementation of 'one country, two systems.'
"The FSD will, as in the past, remain steadfast in its duties, stand united to promote the safety and development of Hong Kong and the country, and strive to protect the lives and properties of the public, making Hong Kong a safe place to live and work."
