A 66-year-old Kwai Sheng East Estate resident has been convicted of criminal intimidation after allegedly threatening Housing Department staff during a flat inspection. Sentencing at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts was adjourned to August 31, while the court awaits a community service order report.
The case involved Housing Department staff visiting Yeung Yee-leung’s flat in January 2026 to check whether public housing was being abused or misused.
According to the case facts reported by i-CABLE News, Yeung allegedly pushed a Housing Department staff member and a security guard outside the flat, then waved a cleaver and threatened to chop them to death. The allegation was not presented as an independently confirmed account in the source brief.
The magistrate found that Yeung’s words and actions were intended to cause alarm. The court also considered the case especially serious because the alleged threats were directed at public officers carrying out their duties.
Yeung remained on bail as the court obtained the community service order report. The source brief does not state his plea, the exact date of the incident or the sentence eventually imposed.
