Democratic Party lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting says it will be an uphill battle to investigate former Chief Executive CY Leung over payments he received from the Australian firm UGL.

"Hong Kong is becoming increasingly unjust, those in power do everything they can to keep the truth from being told," Lam said on RTHK's "Letter to Hong Kong".

The allegations relate to an undeclared payment of HK$50 million from the engineering company in a deal struck before Leung took office in 2012. A crowd-funding campaign Lam started to support an investigation into Leung reached its target of raising HK$2 million earlier this month.

"With the funds we have now raised, the public has given us the tools and we'll do our best to use the tools to finish the job," Lam said.

But Lam said, as Leung is a vice-chairman of China's top advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the process would not be easy.
