Ingrid Yeung Ho Poi-yan (Chinese: 楊何蓓茵) is the current Secretary for the Civil Service in Hong Kong, appointed on 1 July 2022 as part of John Lee's administration.

Biography

According to her official government profile, she started government work in 1986 as an executive officer. She was the Commissioner for Transport from 2012-2017, the Permanent Secretary for Education from 2017-2020, and the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service from 2020-2022.

Secretary for the Civil Service

In October 2022, Yeung announced that the Civil Service code of conduct would be updated to remove the "political neutrality" core value. In addition, Yeung also said "Events in recent years and the international situation today shows the importance of patriots administering Hong Kong."

In August 2023, Yeung said that civil servants would need to declare all arrests, and could be transferred to other positions or fired; one union representative asked why this was necessary for those found innocent.

In January 2024, Yeung said that civil servants should be careful of their personal opinions and must speak carefully, both in their personal lives and online.
