Reflect on your deeds, Hong Kong delegate to top China body would advise CY Leung over left luggage saga
Rita Fan says Hongkongers expect public figures to follow normal procedures
Hong Kong’s sole delegate to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee has waded into the debate surrounding a piece of luggage belonging to a daughter of the city’s top official.
Of course, if what you did led to a public misunderstanding, then you should reflect and try to improve.
Approached by reporters on Friday while at a public event, Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai said she had no idea what exactly happened and that only those involved would have knowledge of the March 28 incident.
Fan was asked if Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying had exerted pressure on airport workers to deliver the left luggage of his daughter Chung-yan to a restricted area at Hong Kong International Airport.
“But if there was indeed special treatment or if he exercised his powers, then I’d hope he wouldn’t do it again,” she added.
Fan laughed off a question on whether the controversy would dent Leung’s chances of running for a second term as chief executive, saying anything could happen between now and the election scheduled for March 26 next year.
