Yung Kam-wah

Yung Kam-wah, a veteran Hong Kong basketball coach, was arrested on suspicion of common assault following the viral spread of a video showing him slapping a young player. The incident, which reportedly occurred two years ago, recently gained public attention, sparking concern and debate. Yung was arrested on Monday and subsequently released on bail, with a requirement to report to the police in July. While legal experts have warned that such conduct could be considered common assault, a former student of Yung has defended his disciplinary methods as 'unique' and acceptable. On Tuesday, Yung issued an apology for the incident. The case highlights ongoing discussions about disciplinary practices in sports and their legal implications.
