The people around Benz King: Liu, Pang and local names

In the shareholder table, Fam Chee Way, Liu Han Ming and Pang Kong Hong each hold 15%. On the channel's people chart, the same names acquire labels such as “boss”, “deputy” and “diplomacy”. The shareholdings are recorded; the other set of identities comes from the accusers. The people around Benz King end up with two introductions.

Start with the table carrying actual percentages. On 9 February 2026, Kanger's reply to Bursa disclosed the shareholders of Pioneer Resources Development. Fam, Liu and Pang each held 15%, alongside other investors. Their co-investment is recorded in the same company. The document identifies shareholders. It does not assign underground jobs.

Liu Han Ming, written 刘汉明 in Chinese reporting, has a business connection with Fam that goes further back. When Fam acquired his Velocity stake through DB Atlantic in January 2025, the shares came from Liu Han Ming and Tan Yip Jiun. From Velocity's ownership history to Pioneer's shareholder list, Liu is more than a name appearing on a people chart.

In public, Liu also has an advisory role. A 2025 report identifies him as KSRM honorary adviser and records his participation, on the club's behalf, in a donation to a dragon and lion dance troupe. As with Fam, business sits alongside association roles, followed by charity. Corporate records and event reporting each supply part of his introduction.

The tone changes on the channel's 2024 people chart. Its creator labels Liu a boss in activities associated with 265, Alibaba and Haolong. Pang Kong Hong is labelled a Yinange 265 deputy, with additional roles described as gambling and smuggling “diplomacy”. Co-investors on one side; business and organisational roles assigned by an accuser on the other. Matching share percentages do not mean the corporate documents endorse those labels too.

Ah Kang comes with a more conspicuous public role. His full name is Tan Lek Khang. A 2022 election poster lists him as the N.06 Bekok candidate and a businessman, alongside chairmanships of Pertubuhan Kebajikan Jiwa Prihatin and Yayasan Setia Negara, Johor, and his role as founder of Stesen Prihatin Labis. Elections, business, charity. His public introduction is already busy.

The channel's people chart keeps Ah Kang busy too. Its creator calls him a 265 deputy, a Haolong boss, and a figure handling Alibaba and smuggling-business “diplomacy”. On the poster, a candidate and charity leader. On the chart, a different division of labour. The same name, but it sounds as though he has moved into a different office. The poster belongs to 2022 and the chart to 2024. Neither is an appointment letter for today.

In Sarawak, a different set of local names appears. Hii Lu Kwong, also written Siao Di, is described as a Sibu gang leader in submissions from January 2025. The submissions list gambling, cigarettes, alcohol, meat and moneylending, and portray him as handling local contacts and external arrangements. This is the contributors' account of local operations. It does not explain a direct connection from Hii to Fam, so he cannot simply be inserted beneath Benz King in a chain of command.

The Bintulu posts name Ting Qing Lee, also written Ting Qinglee. A February 2025 submission alleges that he controls local business involving frozen goods and illicit cigarettes, with assistance from Johnny Pang. Related material includes footage of a local confrontation. The submission places businesses, people and conflict together, but the footage does not identify each named person, let alone establish who performed each action.

This is where shortening a name becomes especially risky: Johnny Pang is not Pang Kong Hong from the shareholder table. Sharing Pang does not make them interchangeable. Hii is associated with Sibu, Ting with Bintulu. Being in Sarawak does not automatically put them in a superior-subordinate relationship. Shorter names may make a story easier to tell. They may also put the wrong person in it.

Other material contains people known only through brief labels. Johor Chua and Tan Lek Ann appear on the people chart. Another organisational video labels 小BEE / 范志勇 as handling gang affairs and 刘顺贤 as handling illicit cigarettes and alcohol. 阿弟, 肥YAP, 啊KENT, 阿胜 / Pang Qi Sheng and 阿废 / Ng Yu Xuan are also listed. The labels give them places, not full biographies. 范志伟 and 范志勇 must remain separate, as must Liu Han Ming and 刘顺贤. Similar names cannot supply a family relationship or turn two people into one.

Around Benz King, shareholder tables offer percentages, event reports offer advisers, election posters offer charitable titles, and channel submissions offer another set of bosses, deputies and “diplomacy”. Calling them all “the people around him” takes one sentence. What that sentence leaves out is precisely where each person stands, and who placed them there.
