Late offer from CY Leung’s daughter to provide clarity on luggage saga fails to cut ice with Airport Authority
As letter from Leung Chung-yan through her lawyer revealed, discrepancies emerge between reports on saga by Airport Authority and Cathay Pacific
The saga over luggage left behind by Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s daughter took a new twist on Wednesday, with the Airport Authority confirming it turned down her offer to provide more information on the incident before the authority released its report.
It also emerged there were discrepancies between the authority’s report on the episode and that of Cathay Pacific, deepening the mystery surrounding the episode.
The Airport Authority said it had received a letter from Leung Chung-yan through her solicitor on Friday after the authority had completed its report. “Ms Leung offered to provide information on the event. The authority has respectfully declined the offer,” an authority spokesman said.
He did not explain why the request had been turned down.
Reports from the authority, Cathay Pacific and security company Avseco detailing what happened on the night when Chung-yan left her luggage behind at the non-restricted area after crossing security checks were released three days after her request.
On Wednesday night, the Chief Executive’s Office would only say that both Leung and his wife, Regina Leung Tong Ching-yee, had not written any letters to the authority, Cathay or Avseco.
