We refer to the letter from Willy Wo-Lap Lam headlined, 'Stating the facts' (South China Morning Post, June 30).
We were also present during the meetings and agree fully with Kuok Hock Nien's letter to these columns of June 29.
Mr Lam's column headlined, 'Marshalling the SAR's tycoons' (Post, June 28), is full of distortions and speculation.
RONNIE CHAN HENRY CHENG THOMAS KWOK WALTER KWOK VINCENT LO ROBERT NG HENRY TANG I refer to the letter written by the former chairman of South China Morning Post (Holdings) Limited, Kuok Hock Nien, headlined, 'Speculation' (Post, June 29). The scathing condemnation of Willy Wo-Lap Lam is shocking and disturbing.
Mr Lam is highly respected both here and abroad for his insightful China coverage.
With unrivalled sources and strong analytical skills, Mr Lam's articles are widely read and quoted. Replying to his boss' rebuke, Mr Lam stood by the facts and opinions in his article of June 28.
Mr Kuok's outburst was intriguing and uncharacteristic since the low-key tycoon seldom expresses controversial views in public.
