Four radical legislators were thrown out of the Legislative Council during a question-and-answer session with the Chief Executive, CY Leung, on Thursday after the council's President, Tsang Yok-sing, ruled that they had disrupted the proceedings.

League of Social Democrats lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung, as well as People Power’s Albert Chan and Raymond Chan, were ejected early in the session after yelling slogans and firing a volley of questions at Leung.

"He [didn’t] speak properly and respond to the questions that were asked by [a] legislator. He’s like a piece of furniture!" Leung, better known as "Long Hair", complained.

Independent legislator, Wong Yuk-man, was thrown out later for disrupting proceedings. Before he left, he asked Leung - "when are you going to die" - adding that he had been asked to put this question to Leung by his constituents. Leung responded by wishing Wong a long life.
