On RTHK's Letter to Hong Kong, Mr Tung also compared Hong Kong to a yacht, which now sails with less difficulty.

'The government's administration definitely has a lot of inadequacies. We are to proactively respond to people's demands,' he said.

During his policy address last Wednesday, Mr Tung delivered a six-paragraph self-criticism. He said he and his team had been indecisive in dealing with emergencies, lacked a sense of crisis, political sensitivity and the capability to cope with political and economic changes.

Meanwhile, members of his cabinet elaborated on the policy address yesterday.
