Michael Yeung Ming-cheung (Chinese: 楊鳴章; 1 December 1945 – 3 January 2019) was the eighth Roman Catholic bishop of Hong Kong.
From 1978 to 1980 he was vicar in Ha Kwai Chung District, New Territories; from 1980 to 1982 he earned an MA in social communications from Syracuse University in the United States.
[6][7] On 27 June 2018, AsiaNews reported that Yeung had tendered his resignation to Pope Francis in order to dedicate himself to Caritas.
[10] He made his last public appearance when he celebrated the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception the same month.
Beginning 27 December 2018, Yeung underwent treatment for liver failure brought on by cirrhosis at the Canossa Hospital.
[19][20] Yeung's close ties with Carrie Lam, the 5th Chief Executive of Hong Kong, were also a source of controversy.
Yeung also said he knew her on a professional level, during her time as the Director of the Social Welfare Department, and that he had no reasons to reject her, and sever ties.
