What have you done for me lately?


The above letter to the editor is old. However, since the recent buzz is all about Donald Tsang getting "reelected", I feel it is relevant. Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, just yesterday affirmed Tsang's position as the Hong Kong's Chief Executive. He praised Tsang's victory by a large majority vote, saying that the people of Hong Kong have a firm belief in his ability. When I heard that on the radio, I couldn't help but swear out loud. It is by far the biggest crock of shit I've heard in a long time. Wen's words couldn't be further from the truth. He knows it, and everyone in Hong Kong knows it. Who was he trying to fool? Oh that's right... China.

Yesterday on the radio, a rowdy caller complained about Tsang's track record. What has Tsang done for Hong Kong people? What has he done for the poor? The answer is obvious: nothing. He has done plenty for his buddies in big business. Tsang's campaign slogan was, "我會做好呢份工" (I will get the job done). The problem here lies in that Tsang never actually read the job description.

Re: honeyb

Hong Kong people were not actually able to vote for the CE. Instead 700 "appointed" representatives voted. So Tseng got 600+ votes to win.
