The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) has approved Florence Leong Ka Cheng’s request to resign from her post as the bureau’s vice-director effective from March 1, according to an announcement published in the Official Gazette (BO) yesterday.
The weather bureau has a director and a vice-director.
The announcement, signed by SMG Director Raymond Tam Vai Man earlier this month, stated that Leong had requested the “termination of her appointment” as the bureau’s vice-director effective from March 1, when she will return to her original post as a senior public servant at the weather station.
