Mok Yiu Keung
Mok Yiu Keung (Peter Mok Yiu Keung) is a Hong Kong entrepreneur, chairman of Standard Watch Hands and Accessories Manufacturing Limited, and a member of the Mok Clan Association. He is currently the president of the Hong Kong Premier League football club Standard Rangers.
Biography
After completing primary school, Mok dropped out due to poverty and studied at night school while working. He endured hardship and later built a successful business in watch hands and made his fortune in real estate. His watch hands business quickly grew into a global enterprise, producing one-fourth of the world's supply.
Since 2001, he has been involved with the local football club Standard Rangers, continuously investing in the loss-making industry to nurture young football talents in Hong Kong. Due to limited team funding, Mok personally sought various sponsors every year to raise funds. In 2014, leveraging his insight into the real estate market, he invested HK$22 million to purchase a 6,000-square-foot industrial building in Lai Chi Kok and converted it into the Rangers clubhouse. By 2017, it was sold for HK$34 million, earning a profit of HK$12 million, which was reinvested into youth development. He then spent HK$27 million to acquire a new clubhouse near the Kowloon Bay Training Ground to serve as a training base.[1][2]
As the club owner, in 2015 he personally performed the team anthem "Da Da Hei" and uploaded it online to inspire players. In addition, he donates to charities and serves as the honorary manager of the Hong Kong national football team and vice president of the Hong Kong Basketball Association, as well as a sponsor of the Fujian basketball team.[3]
False Death Rumor
In July 2024, a social media group specializing in Hong Kong football news mistakenly reported Mok Yiu Keung’s death. Fact-checking later confirmed that the deceased was a Cantonese opera figure with the same name. The group deleted the post and apologized to Mok, his family, and his fans.
