Appointment of self-recommended young members to Cantonese Opera Development Fund Advisory Committee
The Government today (December 29) announced the appointment of two members to the Cantonese Opera Development Fund (CODF) Advisory Committee (AC) through the Member Self-recommendation Scheme for Youth (MSSY) from January 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025.
The two new members are Ms Ng Man-ting and Mr Ho Chi-wa. Ms Ng holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Chinese Opera, and is a Cantonese opera performer. Mr Ho holds a Master of Arts in Chinese History and Culture, and engages in promotion activities of Chinese history and culture.
The CODF was established in 2005 to support and fund projects and activities that study, preserve, promote and sustain the development of Cantonese opera. The CODFAC advises the Government on matters relating to the administration and management of the CODF. Furthermore, the Government regularly recruits young persons aged between 18 and 35 who are eager to serve the community to join the Government's advisory committees through the MSSY with a view to providing more opportunities for young people to participate in policy discussion.
