Ted Hui Chi-fung (Chinese: 許智峯; born 1982) is a Democratic Party politician in Hong Kong. He is the member of the Central and Western District Council for Chung Wan and Legislative Councillor for Hong Kong Island.
Early political career
He was born in Hong Kong and was raised in Tuen Mun. He was educated in Canada and studied law in Canada. He joined the local forum on the Basic Law Article 23 legislation in Canada and returned to Hong Kong to join the 2003 July 1 massive protest against the national security legislation.[1] He joined the Democratic Party after graduated from the City University of Hong Kong with a law degree.
In 2011 District Council elections, Hui successfully succeeded veteran Yuen Bun-keung's Central and Western District Council seat in Chung Wan, which covered the Central area. Hui caught media attention for his protests in the council. In 2014, Hui was thrown out of a meeting of the council's working group on civic education on 6 March. A meeting on 27 March ended in chaos when he resisted another effort to eject him. In April, he protested the council's decision to grant HK$150,000 to pro-Beijing groups. He staged a sit-in at the district office with party colleague Ng Siu-hong, and was allegedly injured in a scuffle with security guards.[2] He was later acquitted by the court over the charge of assaulting security guards.[3]
Hui was considered to be radical within the Democratic Party. He opposed the party's meetings with the Beijing officials. In 2015 when party's central committee member Wong Sing-chi publicly called on pan-democrats to back Beijing's restrictive reform model for the 2017 Chief Executive election. Hui led the call for the party to investigate whether Wong had violated any of its internal rules, which eventually led to the expel of Wong's party membership.[4]
Hui first contested in the 2008 Legislative Council election on party chairman Albert Ho's ticket in the New Territories West and successfully got Ho re-elected. He ran in the Democratic Party's intra-party primary for candidacy in Hong Kong Island in the 2016 Legislative Council election and won against Wilfred Chong Wing-fai despite not winning the support of the party's district branch and councillors, which caused some opposition within the party to his nomination. He also caused controversy over the use of his accountable operating expenses granted by the council. He gave around HK$120,000 to three assistants as bonuses whilst one of his assistants received a bonus of 20 months' worth of salary.[5]
Legislative Council
Hui had been disruptive in the Legislative Council chamber on several occasions. In 2017, he was kicked out for protesting during a debate on the Hong Kong Express Rail Link co-location arrangment. At another debate, he locked a personal attack alarm – usually used by women as a form of self-protection – in a drawer. In April 2018, he was under police investigation for his action of taking a Security Bureau employee’s phone to a Legislative Council Complex toilet on 24 April 2018. Hui apologised to the employee, but claimed that the employee had been "recording the entry and exit time of lawmakers" including himself into the meeting room and Legco complex. He said he suspected the government had breached the privacy ordinance. The Security Bureau made a police report against Hui and top government officials criticised his actions as "violent" and "barbaric".[6]
