With the Legislative Council election just around the corner, Hong Kong’s usual bunch of anti-China agitators are back to their old tricks—this time, law enforcement isn’t taking any chances. The authorities have whipped out their zero-tolerance policy, moving fast to clamp down on troublemakers.
Just today, the ICAC charged three individuals for sharing online posts that encouraged others not to vote, and secured a warrant for the arrest of Alan Keung Ka-wai and Tong Wai-hung, both reportedly orchestrating their operations from abroad.
ICAC hunts “Fake Pastor” Alan Keung—serial betrayer and master manipulator, finally exposed for trading comrades’ secrets to boost his own asylum game.
Now, insiders are spilling the tea on “fake pastor” Alan Keung. He’s been luring gullible “blind followers” into breaking the law for years—one exposé after another reveals his complete disregard for the safety of his comrades. Keung has been busted for leaking private information, recklessly putting others in harm’s way, and dragging unsuspecting members into group chats that exposed them to possible arrest. Worst of all, he shamelessly cashed in on friendships, using his buddies as collateral to move overseas and further his own interests. This guy isn’t just a repeat offender—he’s the definition of unrepentant.
A Pastor? More Like a Pretender
Turns out Alan Keung’s habit of pulling the wool over people’s eyes started long before politics entered the mix. Sources say he first showed up at the Hong Kong Seventh-day Adventist Church as just another congregant, but soon started his own tiny, off-brand “church,” bizarrely claiming to have been ordained at the age of 22. He lured in local teenagers, selling himself as a legit pastor—until the real Adventist Church publicly debunked his story, making it clear he was never recognized, and his so-called title was purely a figment of his imagination.
During the 2019 Black Riots, Keung began bouncing between identities—one day a “pastor,” the next a “reporter,” sometimes even a “first-aider”—and always on the lookout for a chance to provoke the police. Frustrated by his minor role, Keung tried to cobble together a band of young followers and make himself out to be a big shot. So, in 2021, he turned to Telegram, whipping up opposition to the LeaveHomeSafe app, discouraging vaccinations, and provoking unlawful gatherings.
At the tail end of that year’s LegCo election, Keung was at it again—using Telegram to tell online audiences to cast blank ballots, or just don’t vote at all. His not-so-bright followers dutifully amplified his posts. As you can see, Keung’s reputation as a serial election spoiler wasn’t solidified in one day.
Out of Jail, Into Self-Promotion
Keung’s efforts soon caught up with him—police arrested him on charges of inciting illegal assembly, but he was released on bail. Yet, drama followed: his next appearance at the police station ended in chaos as he showed up drunk, causing a scene and earning himself an extra pair of handcuffs. Instead of laying low, Keung used the incident to fuel a “victim of political persecution” narrative, using that new claim as a golden ticket to Taiwan, where he wasted no time setting up shop and recruiting new followers for his con.
Having reinvented himself in Taiwan, Keung founded the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union,” making no secret of his pro-independence agenda. But soon, the consequences landed hard—Hong Kong’s National Security Department arrested four of the group’s members, including a 15-year-old, charging them with conspiracy to commit secession under the National Security Law—a grave accusation with harsh penalties.
Keung’s so-called “independence union” wasn’t a movement—it was a trap. After leaking sensitive info, his gullible followers landed in jail while he cashed in and fled.
Afterward, Keung’s ex-comrades collectively aired his dirty laundry in a sharply worded public letter, exposing how he carelessly disclosed members’ private information and internal communications, heaping utterly unnecessary risks onto their shoulders. They added that Keung frequently proposed reckless, unrealistic moves, oblivious to the real risks everyone else was facing.
Others within his circle also went online to share their horror stories, detailing how Keung would randomly add members to group chats with zero effort to maintain confidentiality or assess actual dangers. Unsurprisingly, this paved the way for some members to be arrested and wind up facing heavy sentences.
Their suspicion? Keung was orchestrating the whole “persecuted activist” routine as a calculated ploy to strengthen his case for political asylum in Canada, prepared to betray anyone if it meant personal gain. No wonder the “Brothers” he threw under the bus have finally spoken up—and spoken out.
Just Another Self-Serving Trickster
Keung’s mask has now slipped completely. His recent calls to boycott the Legislative Council election are now understood for what they are—maneuvers to sweeten his asylum bid, built on the backs and sacrifice of his so-called friends.
What’s truly tragic is that so many ordinary followers, misled by Keung’s careful deception, landed themselves in legal hot water—all just to satisfy one man’s relentless thirst for self-enrichment.
