He had been the long-time chairman of the Rural Council, the most powerful organ representing the interests of the New Territories indigenous inhabitants from 1980 to 2015. He was also a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong from 1985 to 2016. From 2009 to 2012 he was a non-official member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong. He had also served as the member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Regional Council and the Tuen Mun District Council. He began to involve in New Territories rural politics as a village representative in the Tuen Mun Rural Committee and climbed to the head of the villagers as the chairman of Heung Yee Kuk in 1980, where he kept the position for 35 years until he passed it on to his son, Kenneth Lau. He was appointed member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee and played an instrumental role in ensuring rural interests in the drafting of the Basic Law of Hong Kong. He was first indirectly elected to the Legislative Council through the Regional Council functional constituency in 1986 and he held his seat through Heung Yee Kuk constituency from 1991 to 2004 and from 2008 until 2016 when he was replaced by his son. From 2004 to 2008 he was indirectly elected through the District Council constituency. He was also the chairman of the Tuen Mun District Council from 1985 to 2011 and the chairman of the Regional Council from 1995 to 1999. In 2009, he was appointed by Chief Executive Donald Tsang to the Executive Council, the highest advisory council of the Hong Kong government where he served until 2012. For this, together with his extensive ownership of land and property, he was known as the "King of the New Territories" (新界王) or the "Land Emperor of the New Territories" (新界土皇帝). He died in 2017 at the age of 80. (en)
  • 劉皇發，大紫荊勳賢，GBS，OBE，JP（英語：Lau Wong-fat；1936年10月15日－2017年7月23日），人稱發叔、劉皇叔、新界王，曾任香港立法會議員、新界鄉議局主席、行政會議成員、屯門鄉事委員會主席、屯門區議會主席及龍鼓灘村村代表，另為仁愛堂創辦人及香港經濟民生聯盟成員。劉皇出生於香港新界屯門龍鼓灘村，為新界原居民。 自1980年起他出任新界鄉議局主席，個人擁有至少680幅新界土地，故有「新界土皇帝」或「新界王」之稱，然而，在2010年9月，《明報》揭發他在行政會議上，漏報多項物業買賣，違反申報指引，及後劉皇發公開道歉。 劉皇發在政治上是建制派一員，支持香港特別行政區政府與中華人民共和國政府，在2010年亦有支持特區政府之高鐵撥款以及政改方案。自1998年擔任立法會議員，連續十年以上未提出任何動議，亦甚少出席會議，但會參與重要表決。直至2013年12月4日，立法會大會上討論劉皇發首個動議，內容是反對將西貢大浪西灣村落納入郊野公園範圍，最終被否決。在2014至15年的監察報告中，指劉是表現最差的立法會議員。 (zh)
