FTER two presenta- tions on the policy ad- dress for 2017 from the Secretariats of Admi- nistrationA and Justice and Eco- nomy and Finance, which left lawmakers with a feeling of di- sappointment, yesterday arrived the Secretary for Security. Wong Sio Chak was arguably the first to present a concrete plan with con- crete measures. His 2017 action plan garnered positive feedback from many lawmakers yesterday afternoon at the Legislative As- sembly (AL). Although for some the plan is perhaps a little too ambitious, it nevertheless marks a turning point from the earlier plans presented by Wong’s Secreta- riat colleagues, which were cri- ticized for being incipient and scarce in real measures. Organized in seven different chapters, the plan presented in the initial speech by Wong highlighted the goal of the “im- plementation of a modern poli- cing concept and model.” Wong Sio Chak (center) Addressing on the measures to achieve that objective, the se- cretary said: “After the restruc- POLICY ADDRESS turing, the Unitary Police Ser- vices [SPU] will assume com- petencies of Civil Protection,” announcing “with the purpose Wong Sio Chak delivers ‘full of increasing their capability to solve problems, the new Civil Protection Operational Centre construction will be concluded steam ahead’ plan for 2017 during the next year,” leading the way to a series of new mea- sures like “a night-time inspec- cation with Guangdong provin- chaos at the border.
