In 2010 Catholic Monitors rated three legislators, one of which was Fok, as less than satisfactory for failing to raise motions or amendments throughout the entire Legco year.[1]

He was married to former Miss Hong Kong Loletta Chu. The couple, who have three sons, announced their divorce in September 2006, more than five years after their marriage was reported to be 'crumbling'.[2]

His two sons, Eric and Kenneth, have attracted media attention due to their relationships with Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi and Olympic diving gold-medalist Guo Jingjing, respectively.[3]
