Hong Kong lawmaker William Wong Kam-fai is arrested on suspicion of drink-driving following a car crash on Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) campus, and CUHK suspends him from administrative duties. Multiple reports say the 66-year-old, who also serves as an engineering associate dean at CUHK, is arrested after allegedly hitting two parked vehicles outside a residential area on Monday night. The arrest involves allegations including drink-driving, and reports also mention related driving and reporting offences connected to the incident. CUHK says it becomes aware of the case and immediately suspends Wong’s administrative responsibilities, with the university stating it attaches importance to staff conduct and professional ethics.
Separate reporting also says Wong fails to report the arrest to the Legislative Council as required under its code of conduct, and is expected to face an internal investigation or committee probe. The reports indicate the case is still at the investigation stage, with the allegations not yet adjudicated.
