Roy Tang

Roy Tang Yun-kwong (Chinese: 鄧忍光; pinyin: Deng Renguang) was a Hong Kong public servant. He served as the Director of Broadcasting at Radio Television Hong Kong from 2011-2015, and was the territory's twelfth Commissioner of Customs and Excise. As Director of Broadcasting at Radio Television HK, Tang was involved in a number of controversies. His appointment was initially criticised by detractors because he did not have any previous broadcasting experience. He was suspected of political interference in 2012, when he proposed terminating the long running programme Legco Review which reported on Hong Kong's legislature, in 2013, when his criticism led to changes to an episode of the parody programme Headliner and when he objected to the promotion of an assistant director. Tang was appointed Commissioner of Customs and Excise in 2015, followed, in 2017, by his appointed as Permanent Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, a role he served in until his retirement in 2022
