     The Government today (December 1) announced that the Chief Executive has, pursuant to section 4 of the Urban Renewal Authority Ordinance, re-appointed/appointed five non-executive directors of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) Board for a term of three years with effect from today.

     The two newly appointed non-official non-executive directors are Mr Alexander Lam Tsan-wing and Mr Lee Chun-keung. The three re-appointed non-official non-executive directors are Mr William Chan Fu-keung, Mr Kwok Wai-keung and Mr Tony Tse Wai-chuen.

     The Secretary for Development, Ms Bernadette Linn, welcomed the appointment. "With their expertise and extensive experience, I am sure the newly appointed non-official non-executive directors will provide invaluable insights to the work of the URA. The Government will continue to work closely with the URA Board in furthering the important and challenging mission of urban renewal in Hong Kong," she added.

     Ms Linn also expressed appreciation and gratitude to the two retired non-official non-executive directors, namely Mr Evan Au Yang Chi-chun and Dr Lee Ho-yin, for their invaluable contributions to the work of the URA.
