Don’t treat Beijing as irrelevant. Beijing will eventually make decisions.
You live because I command you to live. You die because I command you to die.

“The Prettiest in the Bank”
Oriental Daily just released Tang’s love letter in the news of his candidacy announcement.
“I gazed at the sofa in my office…It was a magical moment…”
The censored part of the letter became the hottest guessing game yesterday and Oriental Daily disclosed today that it is “having made love with you”.
Watching Lewdness between Letters
A netizen made a spoof called “Watching Lewdness between Letters” from earthTV, which can be viewed on Hong Kong TVB and its Chinese name is “瞬間看地球” (Watching the Earth Instantly). “瞬間” (instant) sounds exactly the same with “信間” (between letters) while “地球” (earth) rhymes with “下流” (lewd).
goldeleg: (Businessmen rule Hong Kong) Li Ka-Sing, Lee Shau-Kee, Cheng Yu-Tung and the Kwok brothers nominate Henry Tang. Cable TV news said, the four richest men in Hong Kong support Tang Tang. No wonder he still participates in the election.

Comments from an anti Li Ka-sing Facebook group, Li’s field
Poon: They property hegemony have declared war on the lower middle class in Hong Kong. Obviously, business-government collusion still exists in future.
Mike: Big 4 developers push Tang Tang to the top. Hong Kong need to find out what is happening. I support CY Leung and Regina Ip fully.
Lam: (Tycoons) can make money more easily with such a government.
Alfred: He (Tang) protects the core of the core value of Hong Kong, that is you bastard (*Li Ka-sing). However, you (Li) should beware of Tang’s failure. You (Li) will be in a very big trouble.
湯: The Chief Executive is only elected by a thousand people, not by 7 millions. We are in great trouble.

The Great Earthquake of Henry Tang
Between August 2004 and July 2007, no matter how strong a typhoon was, Hong Kong had not hoisted any typhoon signal no. 8. Citizens blamed Hong Kong Observatory for not protecting their safety. Later, a scholar even said on TV news, “Every time when a typhoon hits Hong Kong, it creates 400 millions worth of damage. Who should be responsible for the loss?” Therefore, some people investigated the claim and found that Hong Kong Observatory was under the former Economic Development and Labour Bureau. The rumour, which Hong Kong Observatory biased towards the business and helped them to earn money at the expense of citizens safety, started. The biggest boss of Hong Kong, Li Ka-sing, eventually became the target of anger. Netizens made up a myth that Li Ka-sing invented a force field that could prevent typhoons from entering Hong Kong so that there would be no typhoon “holidays”.
