Allan Chiang Yam-wang is a Hong Kong barrister, called in Hong Kong in 2016 and practising from Fortune Chambers. His public-administration record is longer than his legal one: on 24 July 2010 the Government announced that the Chief Executive had appointed him Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data under section 5 of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance for five years from 4 August 2010. The background note issued that day recorded that he was then 59 and had been chief executive officer of the Hong Kong Design Centre from 2007 to 2009. Before that he had served in the Government for 33 years and was Postmaster General from 2003 to 2006. The release also cited his management, leadership and communication experience in senior public posts and his clear vision for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. While Commissioner he issued a personal statement responding to media reports about how Hongkong Post handled personal data during his tenure as Postmaster General, answering point by point on the covert camera installed at the Cheung Sha Wan post office and quoting the Commissioner’s guidance on monitoring employees at work (PCPD press statement, 13 August 2010). The Bar List records only his year of call and chambers, with no education, so that point is left blank rather than inferred.
