“I appreciate their leadership skills, strong abilities to explain and proactiveness. They have a reform mindset and support our governance philosophy,” the chief executive added. “I want a team that can deliver what I have in mind... achieve the best results in the shortest period of time, due to all the time we lost during the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2019 mass protests... and one that can ensure the public understands and appreciates our policies.”

His ministry has also received flak over the past year for its management of a range of costly but sometimes botched “mega events” to spur the city’s flagging economy amid falling retail spending and less-than-ideal tourism figures. More recently, his ministry has also been grappling with the challenges of regulating illegal private ride-hailing services such as Uber as residents tire of Hong Kong taxi drivers’ notoriously poor services and safety records.

With the addition of the duo, one-third – or seven out of 21 – of the official members in the Chief Executive’s Executive Council are women. Previously, Lee’s Cabinet already had the highest proportion of women in any of Hong Kong’s post-colonial administrations. Prof Wu said: “There were already signs that things were not going well for the outgoing ministers, especially when John Lee singled out Kevin Yeung for his delayed blueprint.”
