Mr Lau was a distinguished figure in Hong Kong's performing arts sector. He began his career as a dancer, actively performing on stage in his early years, and later transitioned into television and film, where he appeared in numerous popular productions beloved by audience. His nuanced acting and versatile image left a precious artistic legacy in Hong Kong's film and television culture. In 2007, he was conferred Honorary Fellowship of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in recognition of his contributions to the performing arts sector.
Beyond his artistic achievements, Mr Lau was also dedicated to promoting local cultural and artistic development. He was the founder and advisor of several dance and arts groups, and served as a member of the "Art Form Panel (Dance and Multi-arts)" under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, offering valuable advice on nurturing new artistic talent and expanding audience. His professionalism and passion made significant contributions to the sustainable development of Hong Kong's cultural sector.
Miss Law said, "Ming Sir devoted his life to dance and the performing arts. His talent and dedication will always be remembered. We deeply mourn his passing and pay the highest tribute to his outstanding artistic achievements."

Commission on Children convenes 28th meeting, visits Jockey Club Key House
The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, today (September 3) chaired the 28th meeting of the Commission on Children, and led its members to visit the Jockey Club Key House (Key House) in Shau Kei Wan.
SideBySide launched the Jockey Club "Craft Your Life Together" Co-living Community Project at the Key House, which is the first service unit in Hong Kong that provides a one-stop accommodation, life planning and diversified social connection support services for youths lacking family support.
At the meeting, representatives of the Labour and Welfare Bureau, the Centum Charitas Foundation and SidebySide briefed members on the new Centum Youth Power up (Pilot) Scheme which provides transitional support to young people leaving residential child care services but without family support. Members acknowledged the synergy achieved by the tripartite collaboration among the Government, the business sector and the community in empowering young people with the necessary support.
The Pilot Scheme has been launched in line with the policies in relation to strengthening family cohesion and safeguarding children in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address. It aims to assist young people who are leaving residential child care services and who may feel lost and helpless as they enter into society, so that they can confidently and more seamlessly transition to an independent new stage of life.
