Getting the words off her chest

Why you can trust SCMP

Peak residents are hardly stimulated by the District Council election battle between independent Louis Leung Wing-on and Liberal leader James Tien Pei-chun - but maybe this is about to change.

Mr Tien has printed 10,000 campaign postcards to stuff into residents' postboxes, showing him and a female assistant chatting to a local resident, no doubt asking about their concerns for the area, etc.

Unfortunately, just above Mr Tien's slogan: 'I can get things done for you' is the slogan on his assistant's T-shirt: 'Girls! Girls! Girls! All nude' Bit of a problem there for the campaigner. He can hardly use them. But because of budget regulations, nor can he pulp them. So the solution seems to be to get out the felt-tip pen and put a black line 10,000 times across his assistant's bosom.

In case you are wondering, the slogan on her chest comes from a Times Square strip club.

Victor Fung Kwok-king, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council is finding life a little difficult since he was appointed chairman of Hong Kong Airport Authority.

Wearing hats for two of the SAR's major statutory bodies has brought conflicts that became evident when Mr Fung proposed a second convention centre at Chek Lap Kok.

It may be a viable proposal but TDC sources said a new centre would compete with the Hong Kong Convention Centre developed by the TDC.
