Siu Yin BIO
With over 8 years of experience supporting many organisations, Siu Yin is currently an assistant to two members of the Legislative Council aka LegCo. In 2019 she stood for the Lantau district council elections as the democratic candidate and lost to long term member Randy Kwan by just 240 votes. Her experience includes: case analysis, appointments/contacts with government departments, petitions, parliamentary affairs, sharing sessions/forums and research publications.
She’s involved in the social needs of the elderly especially those who are mentally handicapped. Recently, she become concerned over the development of Lantau, in particular the new development in Tung Chung and the Lantau Tomorrow Vision. Siu Yin has lived in Tung Chung for 20 years and says living in public housing is like living in a cheap hotel. Her education and work were outside of Tung Chung. But she felt that she just took advantage of the community without contributing to it.
When she was 28 years old, she developed a strong feeling ‘I felt that I owed it to my community - I wanted to contribute to my community’. On a hiking trip from Tung Chung to Mui Wo with members of the Save Lantau Alliance (which she’s been a member of since 2015), she realized that there will be big changes in Lantau. She began to participate in its activities. She says her life has become full and colourful and feels fortunate to be able to plant in the fields, learn about the history of Lantau, listen to the stories of the people on the island, and learn to create small handicrafts.
She says it is her challenge to organize actions, develop public relations campaign, and connect to other networks. After having done 4-5 years of volunteer work, she has created her persona as ‘Lantau Siu Yin’. She learnt more about Lantau and became passionate in sharing its history, culture, people, stories, and food, etc. She says ‘I am part of Lantau and my friends would say - Siu Yin belongs to Lantau’. She is an island person. She loves ‘Da Yu’, the Chinese name for Lantau and encourages you, in your own way to care about Lantau.
