Chief Executive Donald Tsang has appointed nine new members to the Estate Agents Authority, and reappointed 11 serving members, all for a two-year term.

Steven Poon has been reappointed chairman while Amy Liu has been appointed vice-chairman.

Secretary for Housing, Planning & Lands Michael Suen said: "The Government appreciates the contributions made by the authority's members in the past nine years, especially departing vice-chairman Anthony Chow and member Pamela Chan, for their unrelenting support and valuable work."

He is confident the authority, with new membership, will continue to work strenuously with estate agencies to further enhance their integrity and competence.
