Agnes Chan willing to accept ‘any post’ amid rumours she is in line to be Hong Kong’s next education minister
Canto-pop singer turned writer says she wants to ‘bring a fresh breeze into Hong Kong’s education’
Canto-pop singer turned writer Agnes Chan Miling has said she would be willing to accept any education post, amid widespread rumours that she is one of the candidates to be Hong Kong’s next education minister.
A spokeswoman for Lam’s office said the office was “unable to disclose information about the formation of the chief executive-elect’s governance team”.
Chan, who moved to Japan after marrying a Japanese man in the 1980s, has a doctoral degree in education from Stanford University. In the interview, she would not comment on the rumour directly, but said: “If it is what everybody wishes, I am willing to serve in any post.”
Chan said she had sent a draft of her book, 40 Education Proposals: Bring Happiness Back to Hong Kong Students, to Lam before it was published on Thursday. Lam did not send any feedback, she added.
Chan’s previous book, published last year, was about how she successfully sent her three sons to Stanford.
The 61-year-old said she was ready to take on any challenge to be able to contribute to Hong Kong’s education system, inside or outside government.
