Lillian Kwok Ling-lai (Chinese: 郭玲麗; born 20 April 1979[2]) is a Hong Kong registered teacher and politician who has been a member of the Legislative Council for the Election Committee constituency which was newly created under the electoral overhaul imposed by Beijing.

Education

[edit]

Kwok completed her senior secondary and matriculation course curricula at the Pooi To Middle School in 1996 and New Asia Middle School in 1998 respectively. Afterwards, she earned a diploma in education from the Hong Kong Institute of Education and became a registered teacher in 2000, specialising in the area of special education needs.[3] Pursuing further studies subsequently, Kwok attained a Bachelor of Arts from the Education University of Hong Kong in 2014 and a Master of Education from the Hong Kong Metropolitan University in 2021.

Controversies

[edit]

On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[4] One day later, it was discovered that Kwok attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[5][6][7] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing many guests to be quarantined.[7]

During Kwok's Legislative Council campaign, she described her occupation as a teacher.[8][9] However, after she was elected, her declaration of interests from January 2022 revealed that her occupations were a hotel training consultant and an insurance consultant.[8] Kwok told SCMP that she had actually retired as a teacher in 2018, and claimed that she became an insurance consultant to prevent being scammed.[8]
