Pan-democrat lawmaker Kenneth Leung was the victim of a nasty attack with human faeces on Saturday morning.

The Professional Commons member was attending a public accounts committee meeting in a Legislative Council conference room when he discovered that faeces had been rubbed on the underside of his desk.

Leung said he could smell something foul as soon as he took his seat, and discovered too late what it was when some of it had rubbed off onto his jeans.

“It’s as bad as a bomb attack,” the accountancy sector representative complained.

Abraham Razack, the committee chairman, called in Legco staff to clean the desk. Seating in the room was not pre-arranged, which means Leung was not necessarily the specific target.

The incident comes as Legco steps up security after a fire and small explosion outside the building on Wednesday night. An LPG canister of the type used for cooking blew up in the fire, which was deliberately started several hours after the controversial copyright bill debate was adjourned due to a lack of quorum. Police are still hunting for suspects.
