Hong Kong business chiefs, community gear up for National Games torch relay
Athletes such as fencer Kaylin Hsieh and businessmen like Sino Land chairman Daryl Ng and Henderson Land chairman Martin Lee are on list
Top corporate leaders, athletes and members of ethnic minority groups are among the 62 people set to take part in the Hong Kong segment of the National Games torch relay, the Post has learned.
From tycoon heirs such as Sino Group chairman Daryl Ng Win Kong, Henderson Land Development chairman Martin Lee Ka-shing, Sun Hung Kai Properties executive director Adam Kwok Kai-fai and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group vice-chairwoman Sonia Cheng Chi-man to youth representatives, the city’s list of torch-bearers spans all walks of life, according to an official document seen by the Post.
With the relay set to be held on Sunday morning, the torch-bearers gathered at the Cordis hotel in Mong Kok on Saturday for an overnight stay in preparation for their roles the following day.
Sino’s Ng told the Post that the relay marked the unity and strength of the Greater Bay Area.
“As we gather now at Cordis hotel, we learn from the briefing that the 15th National Games ‘Source Fire’ was lit in Guangzhou with a flame from deep-sea ‘combustible ice’ [methane hydrate] on October 9, 2025, symbolising China’s technological advancement and commitment to clean energy,” he said.
“The flame will then be relayed across Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau before being combined in Guangzhou for the opening ceremony. This symbolism is the unity and strength of the Greater Bay Area.”
