Rosanna Law Shuk-pui JP (Chinese: 羅淑佩, born 12 December 1967) is a Hong Kong government official, current the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism after occupying various positions in the civil service.
Career
Law studied in Pope Paul VI College. She read social sciences at Chinese University of Hong Kong and graduated in 1989, subsequently joining the civil service. She first worked as a labour officer and later as a trade officer, before entering the administrative officer team in 1990.
In 2020, Law was appointed Commissioner for Transport, succeeding Mable Chan who was promoted to permanent secretary. Policies initiated during her term include new electronic toll collection system HKeToll and time-varying toll arrangement for three cross-harbour tunnels in an attempt to divert traffic.
Three years later she was made Permanent Secretary for Housing (and Director of Housing), responsible for leading a crackdown on public housing abuses.
Rising to fame as the transport commissioner and housing director, Law enjoyed a strong media presence. As the John Lee government entered the second half of the tenure, the 56-year-old civil servant was promoted to Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism in December 2024, when the embattled Kevin Yeung was sacked in the reshuffle. John Lee, the chief executive, praised her and Mable Chan, who was also joining the cabinet, for their "leadership, the articulation skills and the proactivity". Regina Ip, the long-time politician and Executive Council convener, recalled when she decided to take in Law as trade officer, she found her wise and intelligent.
Personal life
Law was a well-known "Hellosss", supporter of local boy band MIRROR's Ian Chan, and was seen attending concerts of the pop star. Law said she felt Chan, who was part of the national volleyball team, is talented and adorable. She also spoke of her appreciation to other Cantopop singers such as Alan Tam.
