West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) on Friday appointed former government official Betty Fung as its CEO for the next three years.
Fung, who has been the authority's acting CEO after it parted ways with former chief Duncan Pescod last year, will officially take the helm in October.
During a press conference, Fung sidestepped questions over whether she'll censor exhibits related to the June Fourth crackdown or 2019 anti-extradition protests, saying only that the CEO isn't responsible for curating exhibitions, and that public organisations need to abide by the law.
She added that there are financial challenges that the cultural hub needs to overcome, and the WKCDA will put up tenders for several major projects to generate income.
The authority, for its part, said Fung proved herself to be the best candidate in their global search for a leader, noting that she had made significant contributions to the cultural district since 2014 as the Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs.
