Career
Tung held positions on various local councils prior to being elected, including the Health and Environment Committee, Education and Welfare Committee, and Development and Housing Authority. When elected, Tung served as the Chairperson of the District Facilities Management Committee.[3]
Tung was elected to the Tai Wai constituency in 2011, beating the incumbent Neo Democrats candidate Leung Wing-hung.[1] She was re-elected in 2015.[2] Tung lost her District Council seat amid the surge of pro-democracy support in 2019. She was replaced by Democratic Party candidate Kudama Ng Ting-lam.[4] Speaking about her loss, Tung alleged that she was unable to monitor the vote counting process because she was surrounded by booing voters. Since then, she had filed a petition to have the election results overturned.[5][6]
