When it goes it goes

Message from HKU Industrial Engineering Class of '77

Dear Fellow Alumni,

It is with great sadness that we write to inform you that our classmate, Leung Kam-wing, Kenneth, and his two daughters, Doris and Jessie, were among the victims of the Manila hostage-taking siege. His son, Jason, is still in Intensive Care Unit.

To all of us who knew Ken whose nickname was 牛榮 , he was a kind and courageous man, devoted to his family, dedicated to his profession, and committed to doing good for humanity. A straight-forward, straight-talking man, he was always helpful to anyone who needed a hand and gave 100% of himself to everything he did. He was the Managing Director of Stadium Asia Ltd, a UK-based electronic manufacturing services company, and was an ardent supporter of the HKU Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, of which he was an active member on its Industrial Advisory Committee.

One of Ken's daughters who was also a victim in the siege, Doris, had just completed the Summer Programme in the Arts Faculty this year.

By all reports, Ken made the ultimate sacrifice — using his body to shield his loved ones from the killer's bullets.  For his classmates, this was only to be expected of this brave man. We feel very sad, but are proud of him!

We offer our deepest condolences to Ken's wife, Amy, and son, Jason, who is critically ill in hospital, and all the families and friends of the victims of this terrible and tragic event.
