Straits Exchange Foundation During a provisional meeting on 12 July 2007, the board of directors and supervisors of the SEF elected Hung to be the chairman of the foundation. Hung asserted that upon his election, SEF would step up its services for Taiwanese businesses and people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the future.
