Hong Kong lawmaker William Wong Kam-fai has resigned from the Legislative Council and issued a fresh apology after his arrest over alleged drink-driving and a hit-and-run.His announcement on Friday came hours after the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) suspended Wong, also the associate dean of the engineering department, from administrative duties.“I sincerely apologise for the distress caused to society and the Legislative Council by the recent traffic incident. To avoid impacting the operation of the Legislative Council, after careful consideration, I have decided to resign from all my positions in the Legislative Council with immediate effect,” he said in a statement.He also sought the public’s understanding for being unable to comment further given that a police investigation was under way, adding that he would continue to strive for the community and the city in his future roles.Legco president Starry Lee Wai-king said Wong had submitted his written notice to resign from his Legislative Council seat on Friday.“The president respects his decision and sincerely thanks him for his dedicated service to the Legislative Council and his contributions to Hong Kong,” she said in a statement.
