Jacky Chu Chun-kwok, a former constable with the Hong Kong Police Tactical Unit, is set to be laid to rest in Gallant Garden, a cemetery reserved for public servants recognized for their service and sacrifice. Chu passed away earlier this month, marking the end of a 21-year period during which he lived with paralysis resulting from an assault sustained while on duty.

According to reports, the funeral proceedings will be conducted with the highest level of police honors. The service is scheduled for October 23 and will incorporate traditional Taoist rites. Gallant Garden serves as the final resting place for civil servants who have died in the line of duty, and Chu’s interment there reflects his status as a figure honored by the police force for his long-term struggle following the attack.

While the specific details regarding the funeral arrangements have been confirmed, the broader context of the initial 2003 incident and the subsequent impact on police-community relations remains a backdrop to the event. The ceremony is expected to draw attendance from current and former members of the force to pay respects to the late officer.
