Lam Bun

No one was ever arrested, although it was believed that Yeung Kwong, then chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) and director of the Anti-British Struggle Committee, ordered the murder. However, pro-Beijing politicians said in 2010 that leftists should not be blamed for Lam's death. The founder of Commercial Radio Hong Kong George Ho launched the programme 18/F, Block C in his memory.

In May 2010, after the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong had sponsored a political radio programme on Commercial Radio, pro-democracy activists protested outside the station with images of Lam, complaining that the station had desecrated the memory of Lam, and all the station had stood for. Activists said they had requested an interview to talk about Lam's death. The station later said it respected freedom of speech; the DAB said the shows were about livelihood issues, and denied they promoted a political stance.

In 2001, Yeung Kwong was awarded the highest honour Grand Bauhinia Medal by Tung Chee-hwa. Critics in Hong Kong felt that it was inappropriate to award a riot leader who encouraged the violence which led to Lam's murder.

On 24 August 1967, while Lam was en route to work, men posing as road maintenance workers stopped his vehicle at the end of the street where he lived. They blocked his car doors and doused Lam and his cousin with petrol. They were both then set on fire and burned alive. Lam died later that day in a hospital; his cousin died several days later. A leftist group reportedly claimed responsibility for the assassination.

In the 1960s he worked as a radio commentator at Commercial Radio Hong Kong, which was fiercely critical of leftists. During the 1967 riots, Lam criticised the leftist rioters on his own radio programmes. He created a programme called "Can't Stop Striking" (欲罷不能) to satirise the leftists, leading some leftist newspapers at the time to label him as a "traitor" and an "imperialist running dog".

Lam Bun (Chinese: 林彬; 25 September 1929 – 25 August 1967) was a radio commentator at Commercial Radio Hong Kong who was fiercely critical of leftists. He was assassinated during the 1967 Hong Kong riots, becoming an icon of freedom of speech in Hong Kong.
