From the evidence, thus far they either do not understand or choose not to understand; which amounts to the same thing.<br /><br />Henry Tang is but a typical example of such an ignorant, irresponsible and iffy public figure who is way out of touch with the sentiments of the people.Novel Nameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926542938056252580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206152742331306447.post-61156482204967940422012-04-23T10:18:29.300+08:002012-04-23T10:18:29.300+08:00The difference is that in the 1970s and 80s, most ...The difference is that in the 1970s and 80s, most people in H K were poor and they saw themselves the opportunities to advance in society and achieve affluence. Nowadays, because of the prohibitive real estate prices, young folks who are earning a middle class salary do not think they will ever be able to own a smallish and decent apartment to raise a family.

What a load of nonsense. Remember what Oscar Wilde said: I can resist everything except temptation. The billions that could be made by real estate developers would have induced them to bribe as much as the recipients of bribery would be more than willing to take them.Frankie Fook-lun Leunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725999561072768430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206152742331306447.post-6867654187287261612012-03-31T06:14:27.967+08:002012-03-31T06:14:27.967+08:00These arrests are symptomatic of the pathological ...These arrests are symptomatic of the pathological close relationship between the major business interests and the SAR government.
