Summary
Legislative Council President Starry Lee Wai-king (李慧琼), Election Committee constituency lawmakers Elizabeth Quat Pui-fan (葛珮帆) and Chan Cho-kwong (陳祖光) opened a joint district office in Chuk Yuen South Estate, Wong Tai Sin, on Sunday, 8 November. Commissioner of Police Joe Chow Yat-ming (周一鳴) attended the opening ceremony and said he accepted Lee’s invitation immediately because the three legislators had long worked closely with the police. Lee said the office was located in Chuk Yuen because the neighbourhood has many long-time residents as well as disciplined services personnel and their families. She also highlighted the long-awaited pedestrian access system for Chuk Yuen North Estate as a priority, saying it would help an ageing hillside community reach medical services more easily once funding is secured
Key Points
- The joint office opened in Chuk Yuen South Estate on 8 November, adding to Lee’s district network in Wong Tai Sin and formally beginning community service there
- Lee said her team now runs 11 offices in Wong Tai Sin and argued lawmakers from any constituency should maintain district offices and stay close to residents
- She linked the proposed Chuk Yuen North Estate pedestrian access system to ageing demographics and rising medical needs, especially with the redevelopment of Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital nearing completion
- Chow recalled asking Lee earlier to help film anti-scam publicity videos during a surge in fraud cases, and said she agreed at once
- Quat said the new site is her seventh office this term and her only current Kowloon office, while Chan cited his 1988 posting at Tsz Wan Shan Police Station
Why It Matters
The opening shows how territory-wide legislators are continuing to build a physical district presence, especially in older public housing communities where residents may need face-to-face help. It also ties local political outreach to practical issues such as anti-fraud education, elderly access and hospital connectivity in Wong Tai Sin
