FOREWORD
BY THE ZUBIN FOUNDATION
It gives me great pleasure to launch Race for Opportunity: Diversity List, 2016.
Race for Opportunity: Diversity List is a list of Hong Kong’s most talented ethnic
minorities, developed by The Zubin Foundation, in partnership with Spencer Stuart
Hong Kong. These 16 impressive individuals are qualified to serve on Hong Kong’s
government advisory bodies. Each one of these individuals has
significant experience in their line of work and has demonstrated a commitment to Hong Kong. Each of
them has a unique perspective and set of skills and our hope at The Zubin Foundation is that they will be
considered for appointments to government advisory bodies.
Although Race for Opportunity: Diversity List was developed specifically with Hong Kong SAR government
advisory bodies in mind, it will be of use to any private company or non-profit organisation that values
diversity and seeks talented Hong Kong people to lead on their boards.
What has been most satisfying to me is that, in addition to identifying talented individuals for
representation on leadership committees, we have also identified role models for our youth. With one third
of ethnic minority children living in poverty and a high percentage of then ending up in elementary work,
what has been lacking in Hong Kong’s strategy to tackle these issues is both inclusion of the ethnic minority
voice and inspiration that comes when our youth can aspire to succeed. Race for Opportunity: Diversity List
provides a tangible way for us to address both inclusion and inspiration.
This project would not have been possible without the contribution of Town House, our sponsor, and our
contributors; Caravel Group, Ovolo Hotels and The India Association Hong Kong. Thank you to our proj-
ect partner Spencer Stuart, Hong Kong and a special thank you to Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Secretary of the
Hong Kong SAR Government, for receiving Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2016 on behalf of the various
ethnic minorities of Hong Kong.
The Zubin Foundation is extremely grateful to all 62 individuals who nominated themselves. Thank you for
caring enough about Hong Kong and raising your hand to be considered. To those selected on our Special
Mention List, you have done remarkable work and we thank you for your contribution to Hong Kong.
To those selected on Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2016, many congratulations, it is you who we
celebrate today. We look to you to engage fully in the betterment of Hong Kong, to find ways of assisting
ethnic minority youth and for making your voices heard in this city that we call home.

FOREWORD
BY SPENCER STUART
On behalf of my firm Spencer Stuart, I wanted to thank The Zubin Foundation
for inviting us to partner in this worthy cause, and I hereby extend my warmest
congratulations to the candidates on the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List.
Along with the base criteria set for the selection of the Race for Opportunity:
Diversity List which include: significant experience in the candidate’s professions, a strong commitment to
serving Hong Kong, and the endeavour to make time and effort if they are appointed on government
committees, we also evaluated them based on the key attributes we use for board candidates. These
include: an intellectual approach, independent-mindedness, integrity, interpersonal skills, and an inclination
to engage.
The primary goal of Race for Opportunity: Diversity List was for the HKSAR government committees. It has
been a humbling experience to study the self-nomination forms and conduct the interviews, during which
we met this group of hardworking, talented, dedicated and passionate people who regard Hong Kong as
home, many of whom have endured adversity as minorities but persevered, who have gone on to make
significant contributions to the professions and communities they serve in. This is a group of people who
exemplify as inspirations and role models, not only to the ethnic minorities groups they represent, but
also the general population of Hong Kong. As such, we firmly believe the list can be hugely beneficial for
non-profit and businesses alike, to the wide range of individuals, institutions and organisations for which a
better and bright future of Hong Kong is a shared goal.
We at Spencer Stuart hold this close to heart, in our mission and daily practice, to help the public, private
and non-profit sectors in identifying and nurturing the best of leaders and talents, across the diverse
communities in Hong Kong. This partnership we have with the Zubin Foundation is an example of that, and
we are grateful for the support this initiative has received. We hope the message from this initiative can
be more widely heard and celebrated. Once again, many congratulations to the candidates of the Race
for Opportunity: Diversity List, and thank you for the examples you have set, and the commitment you are
making to the communities in Hong Kong.

Board Director, Spencer Stuart

METHODOLOGYINTRODUCTION
Many of Hong Kong’s ethnic minorities are well educated professionals in their field of work. Many of them
have been calling Hong Kong home for generations and self-define as a “Hong Kong person”. Hong Kong’s
ethnic minorities have played a significant role in Hong Kong’s history in the founding of HSBC, the establish-
ment of the Star Ferry, The University of Hong Kong and the Ruttonjee Hospital, to name but a few
examples. Representatives from ethnic minority communities are leaders in business, finance, trade,
academia and the various professions in Hong Kong – and yet, their representation in the Hong Kong SAR
government (HKSARG) advisory bodies is low.
In April 2015, the Zubin Foundation looked at the ethnic composition of the members of 100 government
advisory bodies composed of committees, boards, panels and councils. There were 1,454 appointees on
these advisory bodies and some of them, at the time, were serving in more than one advisory body. Only
1.9% of these positions were held by ethnic minorities, of which 79% were “White”. We concluded that
clearly more work was needed to improve the representation of ethnic minorities in Hong Kong-
particularly those from the Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Filipino, Thai and Indonesian communities. This
was the beginning of the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List.
Furthermore, ”The Status of Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong, 1997 to 2014”¹, produced in September 2015
by The Zubin Foundation with The Centre for Comparative and Public Law, found that the status of ethnic
minorities was generally poor. For some ethnicities in particular, the high secondary school dropout rate,
the significantly high percentage who end up in elementary positions, and the rising crime rate is alarming.
Clearly the great intentions by the government and many non-profit organisations to assist ethnic minorities
have not yet produced positive results.
Common sense and research tells us that in order to improve the lives of ethnic minorities, it is important to
substantively engage them in decisions that affect them. It is also important to give the youth in these
communities’ role models to aspire to. Race for Opportunity: Diversity List does exactly this - it is a list of
ethnic minorities who can help navigate Hong Kong’s future on various government committees and it is
also a list of role models.
In addition to Race for Opportunity: Diversity List, this year we have also produced a Special Mention List of
individuals who did not meet the criteria to be included in the Race for Opportunity: Diversity List but who
are nevertheless outstanding in their particular field. This list is a useful resource for organisations and
government advisory bodies that want to understand a specific area in greater depth.
CRITERIA
The Zubin Foundation set forth criteria for individuals in the self-nomination process. Nominees were asked
to meet the following criteria before nominating themself:

He has been ranked as a “leading lawyer” in the 2013, 2014, 2015
and 2016 editions of the Chambers Asia Pacific Guide. The
accompanying client commentary in the most recent edition
described Mr. Melwani as an “effective operator” and stated that
Vishal’s “commercial disputes experience is bolstered by valuable
experience of working in an international accounting firm prior to
becoming a lawyer and he is particularly well known for his skill in
handling media disputes”.
Voluntary Contribution to Hong Kong:
• Mr. Melwani has a strong interest in education and therefore
has been acting as a Distinguished Professional Mentor at the
Chinese University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law since 2006. In
this capacity, he has assisted many undergraduate students in
making the transition from academic life to professional work.
• He is keen to contribute thoughts and ideas in relation to Hong
Kong education policy from an ethnic minority perspective.
He sees this as important to increase opportunities for children
in non-Chinese speaking homes and involve ethnic minority
individuals that are eager to integrate and contribute to the
city they consider their home.
Quote from Spencer Stuart Hong Kong:
Vishal is a rare combination of both an accountant and a lawyer.
He practices as a solicitor in Hong Kong at a large international firm.
He has been recognised for his expertise as a leading lawyer. Vishal
is passionate about education in Hong Kong, and is dedicated to
giving back to the community.

NEXT STEPS
Race for Opportunity: Diversity List 2016 started as an initiative of The Zubin Foundation and quickly gained
the support of various ethnic minorities. This has demonstrated the desire of Hong Kong’s minorities to play
their part in making Hong Kong stronger and better.
At The Zubin Foundation, our commitment remains to strengthen the voice of ethnic minorities in Hong
Kong with the objective of developing racial inclusion. We are delighted to announce that Race for
Opportunity: Diversity List 2017 will begin to solicit nominations from 1 September 2016 until 31 December
2016. We hope that you will help us spread the word.
In line with the need to create a Hong Kong that is inclusive to different races, we believe that the term
“ethnic minority” may be in need of reform. It appears from our work at The Zubin Foundation that ethnic
minorities themselves do not associate with this term. As such, in 2016/2017 our aim is to engage in a
community-wide project of non-Chinese in Hong Kong, including our youth, on the subject of identity. We
are keen to understand how such individuals self-define and will take our findings to government and poli-
cy makers for review and deliberation.
Furthermore, in 2017 we will begin our work on ethnic minority women and girls. The education of ethnic
minority girls is shockingly low compared to their Hong Kong Chinese counterparts and domestic violence
amongst our women is significantly high. There is clearly much work that needs to be done in these
communities to both educate and empower women and girls. We are in the process of developing our
strategy to best address these issues.
The work of The Zubin Foundation is made possible by its donors. If you believe in our work, we ask you to
contribute by making a donation.
Thank you for your support.
