Ir Prof. Wong's association with PolyU dates back to his days in the late 1960s as a structural engineering student at the Hong Kong Technical College, the predecessor of PolyU, before he left for Canada in the 1970s to pursue his university education in civil engineering. Upon his return to Hong Kong in 1985, he inherited his family business, Kum Shing Group and went on to transform it from a small sub-contracting operation with a handful of workers into a major engineering and construction business with 4,000-strong employees and an annual turnover exceeding HK$1.6 billion.
Since the founding of the Kum Shing WKF Education and Charity Foundation in 1996, Ir Dr Wong has been an enthusiastic sponsor of educational and good causes. With the completion of his PolyU DBA in 2016, his academic journey finally came full circle, establishing his status as a PolyU graduate.
