Kingsley Wong Kwok BBS, JP (Chinese: 黃國, born 1968) is a Hong Kong FTU politician who is the chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions.[1]
He has been one of the members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong for the Election Committee constituency which was newly created under the 2021 Hong Kong electoral changes.
In July 2022, he tested positive for COVID-19, one day after taking photos with Chief Executive John Lee during the first "antechamber chat"; he also met with Paul Lam and Horace Cheung, and sat next to Maggie Chan Man-ki and Peter Koon Ho-ming.[2] Wong began self-isolation rather than government quarantine.[3]
In October 2022, Wong said that directorate-levels Civil Servants should not be allowed to have dual nationality, saying that even if they take an oath of loyalty to the Hong Kong government, it might not be enough to eliminate their divided loyalties.[4]
In August 2023, he called on the Hong Kong justice department to continue to try to ban the song Glory to Hong Kong, after a judge ruled against a proposed ban by the government.[5]
