​The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, expressed sorrow over the passing of veteran Hong Kong actor and dancer Lau Siu-ming, and extended her condolences to his family.

     Mr Lau was a distinguished figure in Hong Kong's performing arts sector. He began his career as a dancer, actively performing on stage in his early years, and later transitioned into television and film, where he appeared in numerous popular productions beloved by audience. His nuanced acting and versatile image left a precious artistic legacy in Hong Kong's film and television culture. In 2007, he was conferred Honorary Fellowship of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in recognition of his contributions to the performing arts sector.

     Beyond his artistic achievements, Mr Lau was also dedicated to promoting local cultural and artistic development. He was the founder and advisor of several dance and arts groups, and served as a member of the "Art Form Panel (Dance and Multi-arts)" under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, offering valuable advice on nurturing new artistic talent and expanding audience. His professionalism and passion made significant contributions to the sustainable development of Hong Kong's cultural sector.

     Miss Law said, "Ming Sir devoted his life to dance and the performing arts. His talent and dedication will always be remembered. We deeply mourn his passing and pay the highest tribute to his outstanding artistic achievements."
