Prior to stepping down, Leung had already announced his retirement for the upcoming New Year. At 74 years old, he feels the need to pass on the duty to someone else.

Expressing his gratitude to everyone at TVB, he said, "As TVB's leader, to be responsible for the audience, the employees, shareholders, and the Hong Kong society, it has truly been an honor. Sir Run Run has been the Chairman for 30 years; we greatly appreciate his vision, knowledge, and leadership"

In 2012, Leung had been the suitable candidate as Chairman when his predecessor Sir Run Run Shaw resigned.  

Leung had already been serving as TVB's Deputy Director and Vice President since 2003.

Leung was believed to have excellent skills in leadership management as well as public relations. His works have been put into place to manage TVB efficiently.

Leung said in a past interview, "When I replaced Sir Run Run in 2012, I knew our accomplishments would be compared and I would have to catch up to him. The past 11 years have been filled with challenges and unforgettable experiences. I want to thank all the directors, managers, employees, and artists who have given me the support."

Mr. Leung will certainly be missed by TVB.
