Career

In late 2005, when there were strong concerns regarding a potential "bird flu" pandemic, Cheung became "an outspoken opponent of migratory birds". As reported in Hong Kong Standard: "Perhaps what we should do is give each person a gun and when we see a migrating bird, we can just shoot it down, so Hong Kong would be a much safer place," he said last week. Cheung, who represents the catering sector, stood by his comments Monday: "What I"m trying to explain is that migrating birds are the problem.

Getting rid of chickens doesn"t stop avian flu."

On 20 March 2010, after Cheung suggested a minimum wage of Hong Kong$20/hour, he became the subject of insults and derision from some quarters.
