Background
In 1998, Leung began serving as vice chairman of Yuen Long District Council, and was elected as chairman in 2008. In 2011, he joined the Election Committee for Regional District Council. Leung was elected as a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong[3]
In a town hall meeting on 11 August 2013 in Tin Shui Wai where Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying attended, some thugs-like Leung's supporters allegedly provoked and beat up protesters. Leung Che-cheung who hosted the Town Hall meeting invited a group of triad-related individuals to a dinner party and called in supporters to support Leung prior to the meeting. Tang Sui-man, also known as "Four Eyes Man", representative of the villagers from Wang Toi Shan Ho Lik Pui Tsuen, Tsang Shu-wo, also known as "Tall Man Wo", chairman of Ping Shan Heung Rural Committee and a number of powerful triad related individuals were called into action.[4]
In October 2019, Leung was criticised for his questionable qualification as a member of the Legislative Council after questioning when the council would discuss the controversial anti-mask law that was already passed over 10 days earlier.[5]
In January 2021, after a HK$280 million funding request was passed without any officials present to answer his questions, Leung was informed that he had missed a deadline to request the secretariat to have officials present, despite being a lawmaker for 8 years.[6]
