HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 6 December 2019 - The Hong Kong Institute of Housing ("HKIH") is proud to become one of the Recognized Professional Bodies (RPBs) of the Property Management Services Authority ("PMSA").

 

Since the enactment of the Property Management Services Ordinance (Cap. 626) ("PMSO") by the Legislative Council on 26 May 2016, HKIH has been very involved in all consultations/discussions relating to PMSO subsidiary legislations formulation. Among which,  HKIH took the lead in gathering views and suggestions from its professional members and other closely related professional institutions/associations in order to attain comprehensive and feasible recommendations for PMSA's serious consideration. Recently, representatives from HKIH were also invited to attend and offer professional and pragmatic advice during a code of conduct (general and conclusive) focus group meeting in August 2019.

 

HKIH is proud to become one of the first batch of RPBs approved by PMSA after fulfilling stringent and comprehensive assessment criteria. It reaffirms HKIH's authoritative reputation and demonstrates recognition of over thirty years of professional contribution. HKIH will continue to work closely with other professional stakeholders as to monitor the sub-legislation development and to encourage open dialogue with PMSA for the long-term benefit of its members and the future professional development of the industry. HKIH will facilitate timely dissemination of industry updates to members, including but not limited to, development of PMSO and its impact on the industry and housing management professionals.
