Controversy

License issue Questions have been raised about Yum being described as a licensed Securities and Futures Commission representative when his permit was expired. In his weekly column and the website of iMoney magazine and the League of Social Democrats website, he has been described as a representative. After the first arrest Yum considered suing a local newspaper and a woman for their comments since this arrest. This also came at a time after 30 pan-democrats resigned over the dissatisfaction with a leadership meeting with Beijing. The group was extremely fragmented with internal political issues.

By May 2011, Yum was no longer under investigation by the police due to a complete lack of evidence.

2018 Legislative By-election On 23 January 2018, Yum declared that he would run in the Hong Kong Island by-election triggered by the disqualification of Demosisto's Nathan Law. Yum received 3580 votes and was not elected.
