Solomon Rafeek

Solomon Rafeek, BEM was an elected member of the Urban Council of Hong Kong.

[citation needed] Rafeek was first elected to the Urban Council in a by-election on 25 June 1964 when Chan Shu-woon, a former Reform Club councillor was sued by the Club chairman Brook Bernacchi for alleged corruption during the election campaign.

[1][2] Rafeek won a seat by defeating Napoleon Ng who represented the Civic–Reform coalition, the alliance between the Civic Association and Reform Club, the two political groups in the Urban Council to demand for democratic reform from the government.

Rafeek stood for re-election in 1971 as an independent but failed to retain his seat.

During serving on the Council, he was a member of the Abattoirs & Offensive Trades, Environmental Hygiene, Hawker Management and Markets Select Committees, and was also Chairman of the Cemeteries, Crematoria & Funeral Parlours Select Committee.
