Background

Cheung founded Christfund in 1980, which was re-organised as Christfund Securities Limited in 1987.[1] He began serving in the Election Committee for Financial Services constituency. Between 1997 and 2000, Cheung was a councillor for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Beginning in 2003, he was a non-executive director in multiple holding limited companies including Fuijian Holding, Tongda Financial, and First China Financial. He was an observer for the Independent Police Complaints Council in Hong Kong until 2007.

In 2012, Cheung was elected a member of Legislative Council of Hong Kong, representing the Financial Services functional constituency. He retained his seat in the 2016 election, securing 51 percent of the 507 votes cast.[2][3]

In November 2020, while Chief Executive Carrie Lam was giving her Annual Policy speech, Cheung was filmed not paying attention and texting someone to arrange the pickup of HK$9,600 worth of hairy crabs by his driver.[4]

Honours

In 2000, Cheung was appointed as Justice of Peace by Tung Chee Hwa.[2]
