Hong Kong media personality Felix Kong has set the record straight regarding widespread speculation about a career shift, confirming that while he holds a valid taxi driver’s license, he has yet to operate a cab professionally. The clarification came through a widely shared social media post that sparked intense public discussion about the star’s impressive array of technical certifications.
The celebrity recently ignited a virtual firestorm after posting photographs on Instagram showcasing official documents, including his driving permit and a legitimate taxi identification card. Humorously addressing the rumors that he might be transitioning into a full-time driver, Kong emphasized that the taxi certification was authentic, “not a prop.” He pointed out the distinct license number, adding emphatically, “But I have never used it [to drive commercially].”
A Master Collector of Vehicle Certifications
The fascination quickly shifted from the perceived career change to the sheer breadth of Kong’s motor vehicle qualifications. In the accompanying post, the artist detailed an extraordinarily long list of driving categories he has successfully tested for—all passed on the first attempt.
His current driving portfolio includes permits for a diverse range of vehicles, highlighting an unusual dedication to mastering transportation mechanics:
- Private Car and Light Goods Vehicle: Standard personal and small commercial transport.
- Motorcycle and Motor Tricycle: Two and three-wheeled mobility.
- Private and Public Minibus: Mid-sized passenger transport certifications.
- Taxi: The license currently fueling media speculation.
- Private Bus: Certifying operation of larger, non-public transit vehicles.
- Medium and Heavy Goods Vehicle: Qualifications necessary for significant commercial trucking.
Ongoing Pursuit of Professional Licensure
While the celebrity’s certified list is extensive, he noted that his pursuit of professional driving mastery is ongoing. Kong confirmed that he has passed the written portion for the Public Bus license (Category 10) but has not yet completed the requisite practical lessons.
Furthermore, he addressed the considerable difficulty associated with obtaining a license for Articulated Vehicles (Category 20), such as truck-trailer rigs. He admitted that while he has initiated the training with several practical lessons, he hasn’t had the necessary time to practice extensively for the demanding final examination.
This public disclosure offers a unique insight into the multi-talented nature of local entertainment figures. Rather than serving as proof of a new occupation, Kong’s collection of permits underscores an unusual hobby and a methodical approach to vehicle operation standards, transforming a momentary piece of gossip into an impressive display of professional certification achievement. For fans and industry observers alike, it provides a surprising window into the rigorous—and extensive—requirements for commercial driving in the region.
