Margaret NgMargaret Ng (Chinese 吳靄儀, Pinyin W Ǎiy), born 1948, is one of Hong Kong's leading barristers. She is also an elected member of Hong Kongs Legislative Council, an office which has gained her even greater public prominence and recognition. In every legislative election held since the creation of the HKSAR, Ng has been returned with resounding majorities to represent the Legal Functional Constituency. Ng belongs to the Basic Law Article 45 Concern Group (originally the Basic Law Article 23 Concern Group), a pro-democratic organization which has specifically campaigned against the efforts of the pro-Beijing administration to abridge the civil liberties of Hong Kong residents. Biography Before entering legal practice, Margaret Ng worked at the University of Hong Kong and Chase Manhattan Bank (now JP Morgan Chase). She also occupied senior positions in journalism, serving as publisher and deputy editor-in-chief of the Ming Pao newspaper. Besides being a lawyer and journalist of profound experience and acumen, Ng is also an accomplished expert in the fields of philosophy and literature. She has written several volumes of critical studies on the wuxia novels of Jin Yong and earned her doctor of philosophy degree from Boston University.
