Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor’s cabinet received a much-needed boost on Wednesday, as the State Council approved her recommendations and appointed six new principal officials.
Four of them were seen by analysts as rising stars in the city’s administration, as three – Erick Tsang Kwok-wai, Caspar Tsui Ying-wai and Alfred Sit Wing-hang – were promoted from senior government positions to become bureau chiefs, while Christopher Hui Ching-yu joined from the financial services sector.
The other two were Patrick Nip Tak-kuen, who was transferred from heading the mainland affairs bureau to the Civil Service Bureau, and new immigration chief Au Ka-wang, who was promoted from being the deputy director.
Here, the Post takes a closer look at the careers of Tsui, Hui, Tsang and Sit.
