Yeung Kwong

Yeung Kwong, GBM is a Hong Kong Communist activist and accused murderer in the 1960s. He was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal in 2001, when the Hong Kong government was under chief executive Tung Chee-Hwa, who has close ties to the PRC government. The award became controversial as critics argued the event was a symbolic gesture for the approval of the 1967 leftist riots in which the leftists resorted to terrorist attacks, planting fake and real bombs in the city and murdering some members of the press who voiced their opposition to the violence.
