Career
Wong has been a council member of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects since 2005.[1]
In 2012, Wong was appointed Secretary for the Environment. His selection was greeted with hope by environmental groups, based on his work and experience in green building. On appointment, he promised to take aggressive measures to reduce pollution,[2] a position that was given further heft by the appointment in September of Christine Loh as his Under-Secretary for the Environment.[3]
