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. 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. 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.
