Chan Chi-wing, holder of the Medal of Honour (M.H.), is chairman of the Tsing Yi Rural Committee and, in that capacity, an ex officio member of the 7th Kwai Tsing District Council (2024-2027). The Tsing Yi Rural Committee's list of representatives records his Chinese and English names and shows him as its chairman. Tsing Yi was originally an island off Tsuen Wan whose residents were mainly fishermen and indigenous villagers; it was later heavily reclaimed and developed into a residential new town, though a number of indigenous villages and rural organisations remain. The Tsing Yi Rural Committee is the only rural committee in Kwai Tsing district and coordinates the affairs of the island's villages. Under the District Councils Ordinance, each of the nine New Territories district councils has ex officio seats filled by rural committee chairmen. On 12 December 2023 the government announced the appointed and ex officio members of the 7th District Council and confirmed the registration of 27 incumbent rural committee chairmen, with Chan among them; he took office on 1 January 2024 for a four-year term. The Kwai Tsing District Council comprises elected constituency members, District Committees constituency members, appointed members and ex officio members. Apart from these council and rural duties, limited public information is available about his earlier life, education and career.
