Hong Kong civil servant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ingrid Yeung Ho Poi-yan (Chinese: 楊何蓓茵) is the current Secretary for the Civil Service in Hong Kong, appointed on 1 July 2022 as part of John Lee's administration.[1]
According to her official government profile, she started government work in 1986 as an executive officer.[1] She was the Commissioner for Transport from 2012-2017, the Permanent Secretary for Education from 2017-2020, and the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service from 2020-2022.[1]
In October 2022, Yeung announced that the Civil Service code of conduct would be updated to remove the "political neutrality" core value.[2] In addition, Yeung also said "Events in recent years and the international situation today shows the importance of patriots administering Hong Kong."[2]
In August 2023, Yeung said that civil servants would need to declare all arrests, and could be transferred to other positions or fired; one union representative asked why this was necessary for those found innocent.[3]
In January 2024, Yeung said that civil servants should be careful of their personal opinions and must speak carefully, both in their personal lives and online.[4]
