CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Mr Engelbrecht-Bresges recently noted that the HKJC sustains employment for tens of thousands of people, often creating jobs at times and places where they were most needed. "A good example is the 4,000 new jobs we created during 2009, when many other organisations were still cutting back their staff levels after the financial downturn. This includes 2,500 in Tin Shui Wai, as part of an innovative project that has won numerous awards during the past year."
