The 50-year-old defendant Henry Kwok Chiu-kwan, former principal of Tak Sun School, faces one count of misconduct in public office (MIPO). He and a former cum shareholder of Diligence Learning Centre Limited, Pang Wing-han, further face a charge of conspiracy to commit MIPO for divulging exam questions.

The alleged offences took place between July 2017 and June 2021. Kwok was said to be concealing from the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) of Tak Sun School his financial interests in the related tutorial centre. He also conspired with Pang to divulge Tak Sun School's examination and quiz questions for Primary 5 and 6 to the centre.

The investigation revealed that Kwok had allegedly borrowed over HK$400,000 from his mother in June 2017 to incorporate a tutorial centre and transferred the money to Pang a month later.

Enquiries also revealed that Kwok submitted four annual declaration forms of conflict of interest to Tak Sun School, in which he stated that he and his direct relatives had no financial interest in any organisations which had official dealings with the school.

The duo were charged by the ICAC and the case will be brought before the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on Tuesday (Apr 4).
