In December 2025, HKIC welcomed Ir WAI Chi-sing, former Permanent Secretary for Development (Works) of the Development Bureau, to the Kowloon Bay campus to deliver a CIC Fellows Sharing Session. He engaged with staff and students, sharing insights from his career and life journey. 

Ir WAI noted that today’s world is highly competitive. Faced with challenges from talented young people in the Mainland and overseas, students must equip themselves to stand out. He placed special emphasis on learning AI, urging students to acquire AI skills to remain competitive. He also encouraged students to study large language models (LLMs)—to understand their underlying principles, training methods, and practical applications—so they can adapt to evolving technologies and future workplace demands.

Drawing on traditional Chinese wisdom, Ir WAI quoted sayings such as “one’s fate, two’s fortune, three’s feng shui; four accumulates virtue, five is study” to unpack the elements of success: know your strengths and weaknesses, seize opportunities, work hard to learn, build a good reputation, respect the environment, expand your network, and take care of your health. He stressed that although everyone’s starting point differs, effort can change the course of a life. He encouraged students to reflect on their shortcomings and use learning to mitigate weaknesses on the path to success.
