Public service[edit]
In 1975, Wu was a founding member of the Hong Kong Observers, a group of liberal-minded
intellectuals and professionals.[2]
From 1993 to 1995 she was a member of the Legislative Council, but left disappointed

bureaucratic intransigence towards greater public accountability.[3]
She was Chairman of the Equal Opportunities Commission, set up in 1996.
From October 1997 to July 1999, she was chairperson of the Hong Kong Consumer
Council (HKCC).[4] She became a member of HKCC in 1989 and was its vice-chairman from
1993. At that time, she headed its Legal Protection Committee (199297) and Consumer
Legal Action Fund Management Committee. She was also vice-chairman of the Competition
Policy Committee.[5] Later, as chairperson, Wu was instrumental in the establishment of

Administrators from January 1998.

Tsang.[7] When CY Leung became Chief Executive on 1 July 2012, Wu was one of only four
members retained in the new Exco.[1] Shortly afterwards she took the chair of the new
Committee on the Implementation of Moral & National Education, set up to allay public

concern over the government's controversial Moral & National Education Curriculum, which
encourages loyalty to the 'motherland', China, and which is widely seen as tilted towards the
Communist Party's version of history and loyalty.[8]
Wu has also been a member of the Law Reform Commission and the Hospital Authority. She
was a director of the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation and a non-executive director of
the Securities and Futures Commission.[1]
