His responsibilities included the import of foods of animal origin, the inspection of Mainland livestock farms and overseas food production facilities, local slaughterhouses, export certification for foods of animal origin from Hong Kong and a review of the regulation of aquatic products and seafood in Hong Kong. In 2007 Dr. Wong worked for the Food and Health Bureau and was responsible for drafting the blueprint for a new Food Safety Law in Hong Kong.
From August 2007 to January 2011, Dr. Wong was the senior veterinarian at the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens where he oversees the health of several animal and bird collections under the purview of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
In 2011 Dr. Wong was appointed the first Principal Veterinary Officer in the Hong Kong Government and charged with responsibility for the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory service, the Animal Management Division (including the establishment of cattle teams to control the population of wild cattle and buffalo), animal welfare issues as well as the livestock farm division and the management of avian influenza.
