Rural patriarch Lau Wong-fat stole the show at the Heung Yee Kuk reception today as he made a rare public appearance amid swirling rumours about his health.
Lau looked in good spirits at the reception celebrating the anniversary of the handover, although he seemed to have to use a cane to support him while walking.
It was his first public appearance since the walkout turned a Legislative Council vote on political reform on June 18 into a farce.
