Tang Shiu-kin

Sir Shiu-kin Tang CBE, KStJ, JP (Chinese: 鄧肇堅; 21 March 1901 – 19 June 1986) was a Hong Kong entrepreneur and philanthropist.

In 1933, he co-founded Kowloon Motor Bus and is known through the public service institutions he funded and founded in Hong Kong, many of which bear his name.

[1][2][3][4][5] During the Battle of Hong Kong, Tang Shiu-kin was almost killed by Japanese forces in Happy Valley on 23 December 1941, two days before the fall of the territory.

He, along with two other businessmen, was drafted to serve on the Hong Kong reserve police force and found in possession of helmets and trench coats.

[6] It is estimated that in his lifetime Tang contributed at least HK$100 million (amounts at that time) for worthy causes.
