     In response to the announcement made by the Consumer Council today (May 6) that its Chief Executive, Ms Gilly Wong Fung-han, would leave the Council upon the completion of her contract today, the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau, thanked Ms Wong for her active promotion and protection of consumer rights and interests over the years.

Also, it has been keeping pace with the times, including stepping up publicity and education to protect consumer rights and interests in response to the growing popularity of online shopping, as well as assisting elderly consumers to strengthen their self-protection capabilities. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms Wong for her contributions and wish her the best in her future endeavours in various fields."
