Alice Mak (politician)

Alice Mak Mei-kuen SBS JP (Chinese: 麥美娟; born 1 November 1971)[1] is a Hong Kong politician, currently serving as Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs.

[2][3][4] She came in 8th place after Civic Party's Kwok Ka-ki received the most votes, and was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong with 7.07% electorate support.

[5] Mak also participated in the 2016 legislative election, coming in 6th place after popular localist camp Eddie Chu topped the race with the most votes.

[11] The account was confirmed by a leaked conversation between pro-Beijing lawmaker Christopher Cheung and Independent Police Complaints Council chairman Anthony Neoh, who did not realise their microphones were still on during their breaks.

[15] In March 2021, Mak supported changes proposed by the NPCSC to allow only "patriots" to govern Hong Kong, and claimed that the public was being misled by foreign forces, claiming that "I think the [Hong Kong] government should explain the articles in the Constitution [that electoral reform is under the NPC's purview], otherwise the public will be misled by these wrongful arguments put forward by foreign forces.

"[24] Mak dismissed concerns over its removal, though Legislative Council member Gary Zhang Xinyu disagreed and said private property rights should be respected.
