Mr. Shangkong | Time for C.Y. Leung to take reality check
The chief executive can't simply say he has done nothing wrong in the face of the Occupy protests
One hand cannot clap and in a democratic society, no government can succeed without the trust and support of the people.
For Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, one of his problems is that he doesn't believe he has done anything wrong, ever.
Politics aside, will you accept a person who believes he has always made the right decisions and done great things, and if there is any problem, it is not his but others?
For Leung, it is just difficult for him to reflect on what he could have done wrong and acknowledged it in public.
It is his extreme self-importance towards governance that has contributed to the city's worst political crisis in decades.
Leung just didn't want to admit to any problems even when thousands of protesters lost their patience and decided to occupy the streets to voice their frustrations.
Tung Chee-hwa, the first chief executive after the handover, apparently didn't think Leung had done anything wrong and has come out in verbal support for him.
