The Government announced today the reappointment of 57 members of the Chief Executive’s Policy Unit (CEPU) Expert Group, and the appointment of Sonia Cheng, Hendrick Sin, Ling Yu-shih and Prof Anderson Shum as new Expert Group members. The term for all Expert Group members will run from May 30 until June 30 next year.
CEPU Head Stephen Wong thanked the Expert Group members for their active contributions and invaluable advice, as well as for their generous sharing of expertise and research findings, providing important references for the CEPU’s policy research work. He also expressed appreciation to the outgoing members for their contributions during their term of service, and welcomed the new members.
Mr Wong said interaction between the CEPU and Expert Group members continued to take various forms in the past year, including meetings, a “Fireside Chat with CEPU Experts” and written exchanges. In addition, Expert Group members were invited to participate in policy seminars related to the Public Policy Research Funding Scheme and the Strategic Public Policy Research Funding Scheme in order to provide professional perspectives, and served as external examiners for the two funding schemes.
“I look forward to maintaining close liaison and co-operation with Expert Group members, pooling professional expertise and wisdom in support of the Government in further deepening reform and improving people’s livelihood, thereby fully leveraging our strengths and working together to create a brighter future,” Mr Wong remarked.
