Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s daughter has joined the chorus of people making fun of him, writing on her Facebook page that an internet user who asked when Leung was going to die was “too funny”.
The daughter, Leung Chai-yan, screen-grabbed a comment which stated: “Seriously, when is your father going to die?” in a post yesterday.
She then wrote on the post: “I love this guy. Too funny hahaaa”.

More than 2,600 people “liked” the post.
In another post, she screen-grabbed the profile of the internet user, adding in a comment: “Everyone please give this guy a creativity award.”
That netizen is not the first person who asked the chief executive the question.
Last week, radical lawmaker Wong Yuk-man hit the chief executive with the question: “When will you die?”

The beleaguered leader – who was grilled by lawmakers from across the political spectrum over “unfulfilled” election pledges – was told he could not escape the pointed inquiry at his Legislative Council question-and-answer session.
Legco president Jasper Tsang Yok-sing decided that since the question was political in nature, Leung should reply.
Leung sidesteppedWong’s point, instead reciting a line of poetry by Mao Zedong: “Having too many grumbles is detrimental to health.” He then wished Wong “a long life”.
Wong Yuk-man asked about Leung’s lifespan when Tsang pressed him to get to the point of a rant in which he accused the chief executive of “badmouthing” and “betraying” Hong Kong on visits to the mainland.
Wong asked the president not to interrupt, reminding him “someone” had “fixed” his brother Tsang Tak-sing – who was removed as home affairs minister in July.
Wong said he was asking the question his constituents had demanded he raise – how long did Leung have left to live?
Leung Chai-yan has had run-ins with her parents for some time. In January, she offered a glimpse into their arguments in her debut television appearance, saying they had been locked in disputes on “more than 100” occasions.
