Kwok’s executive tenure coincided with SHKP’s growth as a major Hong Kong property developer with residential, office, retail and hotel operations. The company’s portfolio includes landmark commercial properties as well as extensive residential development. This profile records his historical leadership, not a current operating role. SHKP now describes its business and leadership through current board disclosures, which should be used for present-day responsibilities. SHKP corporate profile · SHKP resignation announcement
In December 2014, Kwok was convicted in Hong Kong of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office in a case involving former government official Rafael Hui and others. The Court of Final Appeal unanimously upheld the conviction in June 2017. He was returned to prison to serve the remaining sentence. This legal history is directly relevant to the end of his corporate tenure and is reported here with reference to Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption.
