The Secretary for Housing, Mr Dominic S W Wong, announced today (Wednesday) that the Governor has approved the reappointments of the Chairman and 10 serving members to the Hong Kong Housing Authority. Three new members have also been appointed.
The Chairman of the Housing Authority, Ms Rosanna Wong, and serving members Ms Leung Wai- tung, Mr Victor So Hing-woh, Mr Hau Shui-pui, Mr Leung Chun-ying, Ms Ho On-nei, Mr Chan Kam-man, Mr Nicholas Brooke, Mr Daniel Lam Chun, Mr Yeung Ka-sing and Mr Anthony Wong Luen-kin have been reappointed for a further term of two years with effect from April 1, 1995.
Three new members, Mr Raymond Chow Wai-kam, an architect, Mr Eddy Fong Ching, an accountant, and Dr Joseph Lian Yi-zheng, an economist, have been appointed for a period of two years starting from the same date. They have been serving on some of the Authority's committees.
Mr Pao Ping-wing, and the Rev Sean Patrick Burke, will retire from the Authority after serving for 10 years and 11 years respectively.
"In view of the diverse nature of the work of the Housing Authority, ranging from construction, management, flat allocation, financial control, fund management and so on, a wide cross-section of membership is necessary," Mr Wong said.
"The appointments and re-appointments will provide a good balance of interests and expertise on the Housing Authority. These include members of the Legislative Council, Municipal Councils and District Boards, professionals, academics and public housing residents."
The appointments will be gazetted on Friday (March 31).
