PCCW Deputy Chairman
To Retire From The Company At Year End

 

Hong Kong, May 6, 2003 — PCCW’s Deputy Chairman, Linus W.L. Cheung today announced his intention to leave the company at the end of 2003.

 

Mr. Cheung, who has been with the company, and its predecessor Cable & Wireless HKT as its Chief Executive, since 1994, said “Having achieved the goals I set for myself, and accomplished the successful merger between PCCW and Cable & Wireless HKT, I feel it is timely and appropriate that I now turn my sights toward new challenges.”

 

Mr. Cheung added “I shall miss each and every one of my colleagues who have through the years given me unstinting support. I wish them well and will watch the advancement of the company as it continues to meet the exciting challenges that face this dynamic industry today, and in the years ahead.”

 

PCCW Chairman, Richard Li extended Linus his gratitude for the contribution he had made to the company. “Linus has given generously of his knowledge and skills, and in doing so has helped write an important chapter in the company’s history. I join with my colleagues in offering our best wishes in his pursuit of future endeavors.”

 

“Hong Kong is blessed with many people in the business world who, through their dedication, striving for excellence and concern for others, truly make a difference. Linus possesses all of these attributes, and I am certain that he will continue to contribute significantly to whichever field he chooses to enter.”
