Selina Chow Liang Shuk-yee, GBS, JP (Chinese: 周梁淑怡) (born 25 January 1945) was a member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong and the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. She is the fourth chairperson of the Liberal Party. She is also well known in Hong Kong for her career in broadcasting.
Selina was born Liang Shuk-yee on 25 January 1945 in Hong Kong. An alumna of St. Paul's Co-educational College, she obtained a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Hong Kong, and a postgraduate diploma from Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in the UK.
Chow is unique in Hong Kong's broadcast television industry in that at various points during her career in television, she was employed by all three television stations that have existed in Hong Kong's television history. She started out as a weather presenter. She was first hired as an episodic drama director for Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) and became its Assistant General Manager.
On account of her quality reputation, Chow was recruited from TVB by Commercial Television to be its new General Manager in an attempt to resurrect the ailing station in July 1976. Chow later became the director of Asia Television.
Chow was first appointed as member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong by the then Governor Sir Murray MacLehose in 1981. She continued to serve on the Legislative Council as an appointed unofficial member until 1995 when she represented the Wholesale and Retail functional constituency in the 1995 LegCo elections. She was returned to the LegCo in 2004 in the New Territories West geographical constituency direct election, but lost her seat in the 2008 election. She then resigned from Executive Council, in which she had been appointed by Governor Sir David Wilson in 1991 for the first time and by Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa since 2003.
