Tai Po district councillor Peggy Wong steps down

Peggy Wong has stepped down from her role as a Tai Po District Councillor, citing health reasons.

She has earlier faced allegations over possible connection with controversial renovation works at the fire-ravaged Wang Fuk Court.

Wong also resigned from her positions as a member of the Tai Po South Area Committee and captain of the Tai Po Kwong Fuk and Plover Cove sub-district Care Team.

Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak says Wong has served the community for many years and respects her decision made.

The DAB party says they respect Wong's decision, and thanked her for her long-term community service.
