Ng Ming-yam

Who was Ng Ming-yam?

Ng Ming-yam was a Hong Kong politician and writer. He was one of the important founders of the United Democrats of Hong Kong, a member of the Tuen Mun District Council, an elected member of the Regional Council and the youngest member of the Legislative Council to die in office. He was a supporter for the protesters of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 in Beijing, China, and is best-remembered for leading a supporting crowd with a flag during the protest in Hong Kong in support of the Chinese protest.

A Christian writer for Breakthrough Magazine, Lee Wing-Tat was Ng's ally inside the party and the one who carried his portrait during his funeral, who won the office as the Democratic Party chairman later in 2004.
