鄧銘心

English

Tang Ming-sum is a civil engineer, a member of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong (BPA) and of West Kowloon Dynamic, and sits in the eighth-term Legislative Council for the Election Committee constituency. She is also a Yau Tsim Mong district councillor and a member of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. She holds a bachelor's degree with honours in building and civil engineering and a master's degree in anthropology, and is a member of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and a registered professional engineer of the Engineers Registration Board. A veteran civil engineer who has also worked in the Yau Tsim Mong district for many years, she takes the guiding principle of using her profession for the public and staying close to the ground. She believes grassroots work lets her understand residents' real needs, while engineering helps her handle infrastructure and livelihood problems and act as a bridge between the public and government departments. After the 2023 District Council election she became a member of the seventh Yau Tsim Mong District Council, serving on district facilities and works and building up council experience. In the 2025 Legislative Council election she stood for the Election Committee constituency for the first time and was elected, taking office on 1 January 2026. She said she would use her varied background to pragmatically advance high-quality infrastructure, deliver the Northern Metropolis, and promote education, research, healthcare and deeper industry-academia-research collaboration. She also follows cultural development and youth work, has visited villages and fish ponds to learn about conservation, and has contributed views on Hong Kong's first five-year plan, hoping to bring her engineering and district experience into the council.
