Top officials set to take high office for the upcoming MSAR government term will be announced approximately next week, said government spokesperson Alexis Tam in response to the Times’ inquiry.
“I believe it’ll be very soon to announce the result. This is only a matter of procedure. There isn’t any controversy [over the candidates],” he stated. “The Chief Executive (CE) has worked a lot on that and the Central Government is aware of it.”
According to a rumored list of the new principal officials that has been circulated on the Internet, Alexis Tam, who currently serves as the Chief of the CE Office, is the candidate for Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture.
When asked about such speculation, Tam responded, “I thank everyone for their attention to me. For me and other civil servants, no matter what position it is, it will be the same. We are very eager to serve the general public.”
Although the rumored list showed a total replacement of all top officials, Tam stressed that “there will be absolutely no problem for the handover of positions.”
