INTHE NATION’S PRAYERS
She became a household name in 2013 as one half of the country’s most public sex scandal.
Following the Auckland local body elections, Mayor Len Brown admitted a twoyear affair with junior council adviser Bevan Chuang.
Afterwards, she revealed to the Herald on Sunday her career was in ruins as she was dropped from prominent roles in community organisations.
She was forced out of the Chinese Garden Steering Committee.
Co-chairman and eminent Auckland architect Ron Sang said at the time that even though Chuang was well qualified, it was felt she had attracted unnecessary attention and this might jeopardise the project.
Chuang has had a handful of jobs for the council, including the New Lynn Night Market coordinator. She is now manager of the council’s Riverside Taha Awa Community Centre in Mt Wellington.
On the Auckland Council’s Our Auckland website, Chuang said the centre offered several after-school programmes aimed at over 13-year-olds.
She is also a clairvoyant on the side. Not long after she hit headlines, she came across a GrabOne deal offering psychic readings by North Shore clairvoyant Brigid Curran. After having a reading done, she was inspired to learn the art of mediumship herself and began training under Curran. - Carolyne Meng-Yee
