Michael Sze Cho-cheung, GBS, CBE, ISO, JP (Chinese: 施祖祥; 23 June 1945 – 19 May 2022)[1] was a Hong Kong government official.
He was executive director of the Trade Development Council (DTC) from 1996 to 2004 and chairman of the Operations Review Committee of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) until 2014.
As District Officer of Kowloon in the late 1970s, he proposed giving compensation to shoppers affected by the construction of the Mass Transit Railway along Nathan Road.
This brought criticism from another Leung ally, Executive Council member Cheung Chi-kong, who accused Sze of "encouraging" indiscriminate complaints to the ICAC and suggested that the agency would be overloaded with cases.
Sze also held directorships of various companies, including Lee Kum Kee, Swire Pacific, Yangtzekiang Carment, and YGM Trading.
Sze was married to May Mok, a teacher of English, geography and religious studies at Wah Yan College.
