Chim Pui-chung (born 1946 in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China) was a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (Legco), representing the Financial Services Functional Constituency. He is director of several companies.[1]
Chim was a legislative councillor from 1991 until he was jailed for conspiring to forge documents in 1998, whereupon he was impeached and disqualified as a legislator by Legco.[2] [3] He was released from prison in 1999. In 2004, he was re-elected unopposed as legislative councillor for the financial services constituency. In 2008 he was again elected.[4]
In 2005, he was an unsuccessful candidate in the Hong Kong Chief Executive election, receiving only 21 nominations from the Election Committee, less than the minimum requirement of 100.[5] As a result, Donald Tsang was declared the uncontested winner.[6]
In November 2021, he was charged with fraud, along with his son, Ricky Chim Kim-lun, and Wong Pei Li.[7]
His son, Ricky Chim Kim-lun, is a member of the Election Committee and is also an honorary consul of Papua New Guinea.[8]
