The Hong Kong government has appointed a former deputy commissioner of the city’s police force to lead the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD).
Albert Yuen Yuk-kin, a former deputy commissioner of operations with the Hong Kong police, will lead the FEHD after retiring from his 37-year police career, the government said on Monday.
The post is among two high-level official positions filled through open recruitment in February. Along with the director of information services role, both appointments went to individuals with police backgrounds.
