Moved Page Back

Someone moved the page to TungWARNING! Chee Hwa and I moved that page back here. I am not sure if the fault lies with me, but none of the history seems to be there anymore. There wasn't a history before I moved it either, but my apologies if I handled that incorreclty. Gantry 12:34, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Name

How is it "officially Tung Chee-hwa"? --Jiang

Should be "Tung Chee Hwa" on identification documents.

Puppet government?

Puppet government is a bit too strong for the SAR government. Roadrunner 04:18, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Profile of Tung

would anyone know the education background of Mr Tung?

I heard that he read engineering in the UK. (however, his mentality is not very "westernized")

Tung's father ran a shipping company but ran into financial trouble. The PRC government bailed him out by allowing him to ship arms to various countries. Thus, it is now his son's turn to repay the debt incurred by Tung senior.

Tung Chee-hwa got a degree in Marine Engineering in the University of Liverpool.

It was him who save the company after his father's death, by turning from the ROC to the PRC. One of his sisters is the wife of an ROC guy.

Tung's term of office

The Hong Kong government site seems to be of the opinion that his term was only up to until 11th March, though his resignation was only confirmed late on 12th March. Should the article use the 11th March date? -- KittySaturn 12:00, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

The same happened when the CPG announced the acceptance of Donald Tsang's resignation via the Xinhua News Agency. The statement said the office of Tsang ended the day before the statement was issued. — Insta ntnood 15:09, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

External links

It is a bad structure to have internal links listed under the section header of "External links" This problem is widespread in many pages in this catagory. Kowloonese 19:13, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

Quotes

We've heard myriads of Tung's famous (infamous, though, to someone) dicta like, typically: "If Hong Kong is fine, then China will be fine; if China will be fine, then every one will be fine." Sadly, I can't see anyone has written down any fabulous quotes up to the moment. Now, Regina Ip has her own individual Wikiquote page, so why not our dearest Mr Tung? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 19:09, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

typography

the first paragraph of this article is rendered illegible by the patchwork of blue and black type. frivolous links should be eliminated and the rest rearranged.
