Retiring Democrat chief fires parting shot at Tung for poor leadership.
(From South China Morning Post)
Byline: May Sin-mi Hon
On the eve of his last day in the post, Democratic Party chairman Martin Lee Chu-ming took a parting shot at Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa.
He criticised Mr Tung for failing to relay the views of Hong Kong people to Beijing.
Speaking on RTHK, Mr Lee said he had a heated debate with Mr Tung on Friday, when he consulted the Democrats on the forthcoming policy address.
He said Mr Tung had tried to persuade him to put his trust in the Beijing government.
"Hong Kong people do not think he has conveyed the public's views to the central government," Mr Lee said. "Instead, he has tried to impose Beijing's [system] on Hong Kong."
