Speaking out on 'dog biscuits', 'memory loss' and Tsang's term

Hong Kong people have lost their fighting and entrepreneurial spirit. It's because they have been fed too many dog biscuits

Raymond Wu speaking at a forum on constitutional development in February 2004

Can I say I have a memory loss [about that meeting], can I not? I would only answer this question if I am summoned to court. The media is only trying to dig out proof to force some people to step down. I condemn this cultural-revolutionist behaviour

Dr Wu on RTHK in November 2003, declining to comment on Secretary for Home Affairs Patrick Ho Chi-ping's role in a controversial meeting with then Equal Opportunities Commission chairman Michael Wong Kin-chow, whose conversation led to a document containing allegations against Mr Wong's predecessor, Anna Wu Hung-yuk

He [Donald Tsang] should give Mr Tung [Chee-hwa] an affirmation, share responsibility with everyone for all past mistakes and defend all criticism ... He [Mr Tsang] still has not attained the level of a ching chi ga [politician]

Dr Wu urging Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen in June last year to take responsibilities for past mistakes of Tung Chee-hwa's administration

Perhaps my memory is wrong, or my understanding of the views of other drafters is incorrect. I can't say I am right while others are wrong. It doesn't matter to me whether the new chief executive serves a two-year or five-year term

Dr Wu commenting in March last year after mainland experts argued for a two-year term for Tung Chee-hwa's successor. Dr Wu previously said Basic Law drafters had agreed that a successor, in such a case, should serve a full five-year term
