According to a member of his former campaign team, Mr Tsang's website was taken off the day after he was elected because of cut-off rules for election expenses, and upon legal advice. The campaign site of his challenger, Alan Leong Kah-kit, is still online.
The government view is that Mr Tsang's campaign platform has been transformed into his 2007 policy address. His spokesmen point to promises speedily kept, such as tax cuts and stricter food labelling, and to action on infrastructure projects, especially the long-proposed Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge.
They also cite important bills now before the Legislative Council, such as on race discrimination and the West Kowloon Cultural District, and to consultations under way for other issues such as minimum wage legislation, competition law and health-care financing reform.
Political analysts see it differently. While allowing that Mr Tsang still has four more years, they say he has a governance style that harks back to the colonial-era ethos of 'least necessary change'.
Michael DeGolyer, associate professor of government and international studies, Hong Kong Baptist University, described the colonial ethos - evident even during Mr Tsang's time as Sha Tin district officer in the early 1980s - as one of making no change unless necessary. 'It's the idea that a government is safest which does the least necessary to maintain control,' said Professor DeGolyer. 'So you want to make incremental change in the smallest increments that are possible, that are needed to keep the pressure off. You see that ethos in the government today.'
