About

Ng Kang-chung is identified as a former civil service chief in Hong Kong. In 2006, he was a key figure advocating for the implementation of a five-day work week for civil servants. Ng Kang-chung argued that this shift would lead to increased efficiency among civil servants and, consequently, better service for the city's residents. He also suggested that it would save citizens time and travel expenses. Prior to this role, Ng Kang-chung was also involved in reporting on significant legal cases, as evidenced by his co-authorship of an article in 1996 concerning a landmark case where Rennie's Mill residents won damages against the Government for unfair treatment and abuse of power. While the articles are from 2006 and 1996, they highlight Ng Kang-chung's past involvement in policy advocacy and journalistic reporting within Hong Kong's public sphere.
