Murder Accusations
It is widely believed by many that Yeung was deeply involved in the murder of Commercial Radio Hong Kong radio host Lam Bun during the leftist riots. On 24 August 1967, Lam Bun and his brother were driving from Lam's residence in Ho Man Tin when leftist rioters, dressed as road construction workers, stopped Lam's car. The car was set on fire. Both Lam and his brother later died in a local hospital.
It was believed that Lam's popular radio show was a reason why the leftists decided to murder him. At the time, Lam's show, Failure to Strike (Chinese: 欲罷不能), poked fun at the leftist's action to strike and cause general unrest in Hong Kong.
After the murder occurred, an anonymous person, claiming to be from a leftist organisation, took responsibility for Lam Bun's murder. The person also called Lam a "Degenerate of the Chinese Race", "a lackey of the British Colonial Government", and that his murder is a "disciplinary action to cleanse the race". The person also vowed to kill other "degenerates" in the future. This statement galvanised public opinion against the leftists, and caused a widespread crackdown on leftist activities.
No person was ever arrested in connection to this case, and the case is still open as of 2007.
