Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak says district councillors must fulfil job duties, as some question whether Chong has enough spare time for contest
The youngest district councillor in Hong Kong is running in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, with the home affairs minister reminding her to fulfil her public duties and leaving open the question of whether she will need to step down if crowned.
The news of Sai Kung district councillor Angel Chong Nga-ting, 24, joining the pageant contest came to light on Tuesday when she appeared at Tseung Kwan O TVB City for the first round of interviews.
Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen said all district councillors needed to fulfil their duties.
“Every district councillor, regardless of their profession, background or sector, must follow all the requirements of the performance monitoring system,” she said.
