It was a great pleasure to attend the HKIFM Annual Dinner cum Excellence in Facility Management Award (EFMA) 2025 Presentation Ceremony on 18 March 2026.

A wonderful evening celebrating excellence in facility management, where industry peers gathered to recognize outstanding achievements and innovations in the field. The introduction of the “Outstanding Young Talent Award” this year was particularly inspiring—showcasing the industry’s commitment to nurturing young professionals and bringing fresh energy to the sector.

We were delighted that our Honorary Secretary, Mr. Herman Yu, could join this prestigious event to connect with fellow professionals and show our support for the facility management community.

Congratulations to the Hong Kong Institute of Facility Management (HKIFM) on a memorable evening, and to all the award winners for their well-deserved recognition! We look forward to continued collaboration between our associations to drive excellence across both the property and facility management sectors.

It was a great honour to join The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) for the grand opening of their 50th Anniversary “Together we RISE” Carnival on 14 March 2026! A fantastic day celebrating this golden milestone and the engineering profession’s immense contributions to our society.

As a prestigious institution marking five decades of excellence, HKIE has been instrumental in uniting engineers across disciplines, advancing professional standards, and driving innovation that shapes the future of Hong Kong and beyond. Their commitment to “rising” together with the community reflects the spirit of progress and collaboration.

We were delighted that our Vice President, Ms Eva Wong 王曉君女士, could represent HKAPMC at this vibrant opening ceremony. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with engineering leaders and celebrate this significant anniversary.

A heartfelt congratulations to the HKIE Council and all members on this remarkable achievement. Here’s to another 50 years of innovation and collaboration!

On 10 March 2026, We had the privilege of joining representatives from the Hong Kong Housing, Property and Facilities Management Professional Alliance for a productive meeting with the Home Affairs Department.

We engaged in an open discussion with Ms. To Kit-lai, Director of Home Affairs; Mr. Te Chi-wang, Deputy Director; and Ms. Li Ka-yuen, Assistant Director, regarding the proposed amendments to the Building Management Ordinance (Cap 344).

We are grateful to the Department for sharing their preliminary concepts and implementation details, and for considering the observations from industry professionals. The Alliance reiterated its full support for the Government’s determination to combat bid-rigging to protect the interests of property owners.

A key consensus from the meeting was the necessity of striking a delicate balance in the amendment process: strengthening regulatory control to prevent malpractices must be carefully weighed against the need to maintain the smooth daily operations and decision-making processes of building management bodies.

We look forward to continued dialogue with the Home Affairs Department to collectively refine and enhance the property management landscape in Hong Kong.

On 9 March 2026, the Hong Kong Alliance of Professional Housing, Property & Facility Management (The Alliance) was privileged to host industry leaders, government officials, and distinguished guests for our Joint Spring Dinner.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our Officiating Guest, The Honorable Miss Alice Mak, SBS, JP, Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs. Her insightful address highlighted the critical role our sector plays in community building and social harmony. We were also honored by the presence of distinguished guests from the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government, Government Officials, and our valued partners.

It was a great honor to join the West Kowloon Region – Community Crime Fighting Partners & Outstanding Police Personnel Commendation Ceremony on 9th March 2026. Our President, Mr. Kevin Chu represented the Association at the ceremony to accept the Community Crime Fighting Partners Commendation presented by the West Kowloon Region. This commendation recognizes our sustained dedication and active contributions to promoting community safety and social order.

It was a great honor to join the Hong Kong Security Association for their New Year Spring Lunch on 27 February 2026! A fantastic afternoon celebrating the new year and recognizing the vital role the security industry plays in safeguarding our community.

Established as a key pillar of the industry, the Hong Kong Security Association is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and technological advancement within the security sector. Their commitment to enhancing public safety and supporting the industry’s development is essential for a stable and secure Hong Kong.
