Dr. K. K. Leung
The legacy of Dr K. K. Leung, extends far beyond the realms of banking and business. He was widely admired not only for his remarkable achievements but also for his unwavering support and deep commitment to the community.
Dr Leung’s success in his professional life inspired him to give back generously through his contributions to noble causes in education, social welfare, and healthcare. Following in the footsteps of the eminent overseas Chinese figure Tan Ka Ki, who believed in repaying society’s kindness, Dr Leung dedicated himself wholeheartedly to philanthropy.
