A lady raised a question for her son about the path to be a surveyor in the talk given by Ms Serena Lau, our President, in the Education and Careers Expo 2012 on 12 February 2012. The son is so fortunate to have his mother’s support in joining the surveying profession in Hong Kong. It reminded me of my good old days when I joined the profession as a young surveyor. By the time, the public did not know land surveyors very well and usually asked if we were taking videos/ pictures with our theodolites!

 

Thanks to the hard work of the Institute, divisions and YSG throughout these years, surveyors have been developing our reputation as well as our professional image in Hong Kong. We care, we act and we support the society to become a better place to live and to work.

 

We shall keep up the good work, like what we have been doing in the Education and Careers Expo and other occasions, to further strengthen our professional image with a wider scope over all spectrum of the society.

 

Under the new university system, which will soon commence this year, I believe that university graduates will encounter another wave of challenges in the course to become professional surveyors. We shall help them to overcome the impact.

 

Articles from the Institute are currently published every other Tuesday in Wen Wei Po. The article ”測量與科技共舞” was printed in Wen Wei Po (page B08, property news) on 21 February 2012.
