Whoever is Hong Kong’s next chief executive shouldn’t throw my policies away, insists Leung Chun-ying

Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying gave no clear signal about whether he would seek a second term next year but admitted his administration had not solved all livelihood issues, especially housing.

But the city’s leader urged whoever will take up the job to continue the policies he launched.

In the second part of a three-part television interview aired on TVB on Sunday night, Leung was asked whether Hong Kong people had had their housing needs addressed.

He replied: “Not yet, not yet, not yet ... we are still far away from ‘living in happiness’.”

Leung said there was opposition in districts to the building of more public housing.
