In this Hong Kong name, the surname is Ng. In accordance with Hong Kong custom, the Western-style name is Eddie Ng and the Chinese-style name is Ng Hak-kim.
In 2012,the government of Hong Kong attempted to introduce a new curriculum known as Moral and National Education. It was not well received by the residents of Hong Kong and was eventually shelved indefinitely. One of the reasons why it was turned down was because it was found that the "China Model National Conditions Teaching Manual",published by the National Education Services Centre under government fundings,was found to be biased towards the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the so-called "China model". The teaching manual called the CCP an "advanced,selfless and united ruling group" (進步、無私與團結的執政集團),while denouncing Democratic and Republican Parties of the United States as a "fierce interparty rivalry [that] makes the people suffer" (政黨惡鬥，人民當災).[5] The minister for Education Eddie Ng defended that even though the teaching manual is biased,the subject should not be valued more broadly.[6]
In December 2016,Ng attended a formal meeting with the newly appointed North KoreanConsul-General,Jang Song Chol,discussing the current status of Hong Kong's education. Afterward,Ng posted on his Facebook page stating that he "anticipated exchanges in cultural and educational affairs will be strengthened in the future." Ng's statement was received negatively by the public,with netizens noting that North Korean style "brainwashing" should not be a shared common ground between Hong Kong and North Korea.[7][8]
