He joined the Association for the Rights of the Elderly founded by Yeung Sum and Frederick Fung in 1982. He was elected chairman of the association in 1991. In 1988, he joined the Meeting Point and became a central committee in 1991. He was also part of the Joint Committee on the Promotion of Democratic Government. He organised most of the rallies, petitions and 50-hour fast strike at the Star Ferry Pier in 1989 for a faster pace of democracy.
