Professor Leung Sun (Ming) Leung 梁亮新教授
(1936 – 1990)
Born in Taipo, Hong Kong, Professor Ming (Leung Sun) Leung obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering (Cambridge University) in 1961. After a period of teaching at University of Malaya, and working at Malaya Acid Works, Prof Ming Leung joined the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Queensland in 1967, achieving a personal chair in 1979. He played a leading role in the chemical engineering profession in Australia and in 1986 was appointed Chief of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of fossil fuels. To commemorate Prof Leung’s contribution, the global professional organisation of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) established the Ming Leung Scholarship after his death. The scholarship continues to this day and aims to encourage and support a meritorious 3rd year student studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program.
梁亮新教授出生於香港大埔，1961年獲劍橋大學化學工程博士學位。在馬來亞大學任教一段時間和在馬來亞一家化工廠Malaya Acid Works工作後，梁教授在1967 年加入昆士蘭大學化學工程系，並於1979 年成為系主任。。他在澳大利亞的化學工程專業發揮了領導作用，並於 1986 年被任命為聯邦科學與工業研究組織 (CSIRO) 化石燃料部門的主管。 為了紀念梁教授的貢獻，全球專業組織化學工程師學會（IChemE）在他去世後設立了梁亮新獎學金。 該獎學金一直持續到今天，旨在鼓勵和支持優秀的三年級學生攻讀工程學士（榮譽）課程。
Apart from his significant contribution in his profession of Chemical Engineering, Prof Ming Leung was a pioneer in the Queensland Chinese community social movement. In 1980, with a group of friends interested in radio broadcasting, Prof Leung established the Chinese Ethnic Broadcasting Association of Queensland (Radio 4EB Chinese Group, Brisbane) and became the Founding President of this association. It is one of the oldest Chinese community organisations in Queensland.
In 1984, Australia experienced a wave of racial tension after historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey’s controversial speech on Australian immigration policy. In response, Prof Leung commenced and chaired the Asian Australian Action Committee. The purpose of the Committee was to raise the profile of Asian Australians, promote participation of Asian Australians in public affairs, and oppose any racial, cultural and religious discriminations.
梁教授除了在化學工程專業作出重大貢獻外，還是昆士蘭華人社區社會運動的先驅。 1980年，梁教授與一群對無線電廣播有興趣的朋友成立了昆士蘭華語廣播協會（Radio 4EB Chinese Group, Brisbane），並成為該協會的創會會長。 這是昆士蘭歷史最悠久的華人社區組織之一。
1984 年，歷史學家Geoffrey Blainey 教授就澳大利亞移民政策發表有爭議的演講後，澳大利亞經歷了一波種族緊張局勢。 作為回應，梁教授發起並主持了亞裔澳大利亞人行動委員會(Asian Australian Action Committee)。 該委員會的宗旨是提高亞裔澳大利亞人的形象，促進亞裔澳大利亞人參與公共事務，反對任何種族、文化和宗教歧視。
Prof Ming Leung met his wife Fuk Ching Theresa (nee Chu) through the Chinese Association in London while he was studying and Theresa was doing Nursing training in London. Coincidentally, Theresa was also born in Taipo, Hong Kong, and Ming was delivered by her first mother who was the local midwife in the district. They married in Cambridge in December 1960. Prof Ming Leung and Theresa had three children, Kam, Ann and Ming Junior.
In a relatively short life span, Professor Ming Leung’s achievements were outstanding. He was known for his outgoing personality, lateral thinking, generosity and ever present sense of humour.
梁教授在讀書期間通過倫敦華人協會結識了妻子朱福貞(Fuk Ching Theresa)，Theresa當時在倫敦接受護士培訓。 巧合的是，Theresa也出生在香港大埔，梁教授的第一任母親是該區的當地助產士。 他們於 1960 年 12 月在劍橋結婚。梁教授和 Theresa 育有三個孩子，Kam、Ann 和 Ming Junior。
在較短的一生中，梁教授的成就是卓著的。 他以外向的性格、橫向思維、慷慨大方和常在的幽默感而聞名。
“An eminent chemical engineer and pioneer of Chinese community social movement in Queensland. Founder of Chinese Ethnic Broadcasting Association of Queensland.
傑出的化學工程師，昆士蘭華人社區社會運動的先驅。 昆士蘭華人廣播協會創始人。”
