Twentieth Century Impressions of Hongkong, Shanghai, and other Treaty Ports of China/Hongkong/Wong Kam Fuk
MR. WONG KAM FUK, J.P.—It may readily be understood that the duties of compradore in so large a concern as the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company require for their satisfactory discharge qualities of no mean order, for the Company's employes run into several hundreds, and the compradore is responsible for the whole of the Chinese. In Mr. Wong Kam Fuk the Company have a man of shrewd business ability. Born in the Colony and educated at Queen's College, he entered their service, after a brief period of employment in an insurance office, and was stationed at West Point, until he was transferred to his present position, a good many years ago. He also holds the managing directorship of a Chinese company running a service of steamers to West River, and is interested in a cotton yarn business. He has served on the committee of the Tung Wah Hospital, and is at present a member of the Po Leung Kuk committee. Some three years ago the Government recognised his ability by appointing him a Justice of the Peace for the Colony.
