Nelson Wong Sing-chi (Born Hong Kong on 11 October 1957)^[1] is a member of Legislative Council of Hong Kong, representing the New Territories East constituency, as well as a member of North District, Hong Kong Council. He is a member of the Hong Kong Democratic Party.

Wong was first elected to LegCo in 2000, was defeated in 2004 due to a dodgy electoral strategy, and re-elected in 2008. Wong obtained his Bachelor of Social Work from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and was a social worker before joining Hong Kong politics.

Though a member of the Democratic Party, Wong is a Christian and a social conservative. Wong opposed an amendment to the Domestic Violence Ordinance that would offer gay couples equal protection under the law on the grounds that the amendment would treat same-sex relationships as if they were marriages. He feared the government would go a step further and legalise same-sex marriage.^[2]

Views, policy positions and Legco voting

In June 2010, he voted with the party in favour of the government’s 2012 constitutional reform package, which included the late amendment by the Democratic Party – accepted by the Beijing government – to hold a popular vote for five new District Council functional constituencies.^[3]
