Sporting a blue turban matching her navy blue uniform, Sukhdeep is quite noticeable among the prison squad while marching on the premises of Lo Wu Correctional Institution.
Sukhdeep Kaur, hailing from a nondescript village in Tarn Taran, is the first ‘amritdhari’ Sikh woman prison officer in Hong Kong.
It was for the first time that a baptised Sikh woman was given recognition to be placed with the Correctional Services Department (CSD) in Hong Kong.
The CSD gave Sukhdeep Kaur four blue turbans as
part of her Uniform .
Sukhdeep said due to communication gap, as majority of people of Hong Kong origin speak Cantonese (a form of Chinese language), initially it was difficult for me to apprise the people about Sikhism.yet she gained attention for being a woman wearing a turban.
She moved to
Hong Kong with the support of her relatives a few years back. She did some
extensive course as per the Hong Kong curriculum. Thereafter, she underwent a
23-week special Training.
