Mr Lee Shing Kan said, “I feel extremely honored to be able to serve the country and Hong Kong. I would like to thank the Chief Executive of the HKSAR for the recognition, and all sectors of society, my family and colleagues for their continued support. I will continue to work with all walks of life to fully support the country and Hong Kong in achieving better development and building a better home: working together for the long-term stability of one country, two systems, harmony and prosperity.”
