Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.

Here is my comment.

The unauthorized building works in Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's flat has become the newspaper heat these days. Despite the explanation and clarification made by Leung over and over again, the media and some politic parties have no intention to let go of him.

Disagreement with Leung will not come from me since I am satisfied with Leung's elaborations on his unauthorized building works. The Chief Executive has a job to bring Hong Kong to a better future. However, making Leung explain one single issue more than once or questioning him in a silly manner will be meaningless and merely a waste of time. The time wasted does not just come from Leung, but come from you and me, and every citizen in Hong Kong! Giving the Chief Executive's time away means that the left for constructing a better future will become less. If the Pan-democracy Camp, who claimed to put the society as the top priority, would like to doodle the time away, then go on with it and have fun!

Some voices in the society urge Leung to get off stage since they believe that honesty and trusty problems are involved in the issue of Leung's unauthorized building work. But they do not seem to have considered this requisition thoroughly. What if Leung quitted and nobody else who is as capable as Leung does could be found? The ability of Leung to develop Hong Kong is undeniable so I would never regard it beneficial to Hong Kong to clamor Leung into resigning.

Newspapers and television in the past few months are reported every day THIS reported... I am very tired of this report, because this incident, Leung Chun-ying has been sorry.

But  the lawmakers  been to demand Leung Chun-ying resignation. In this event,I feel the lawmakers is no way to improve or do not want to improve today HONG KONG, so before focusing to address this issue of integrity? Purpose is to divert attention? If this is really too bad ..

In my opinion, undoubtedly, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying had done a fatal mistake in bulding illegal structures in his flat. Yet, I do not agree to the opposition pro-democracy camp's saying  that there is a need to have a vote of no confidence to Leung. This may possibly lead to instability in Hong Kong's politics if the motion of no confidence against Leung is passed and hence trigger an impeachment to be launched against him. Moreover, Leung has already apologised for his act.



We should give another chance to Leung.
