One of few pioneer senior elders to remember if respect for elders as an important tenet of Bo Tien 武天 precepts is to be taken seriously, Ling Diung Kwong was and is senior elder and founder of Bo Tien 武天 mission.

Young Ling in his heyday a police inspector then provided
dynamic leadership with never say never attitude.
He nurtured the young, the rich and the poor, the well heeled
and those who needed to be better than what they were.
He welcomed all to the mission without discrimination
even if some may not be mission oriented but more personal motivated.
He did his best to motivate all but still accepted anyone to be in the fray.
But he knew he was and is no saint.. No one should idolise him or damn him
