She was succeeded by Wong Yan Lung, SC, on 20 October 2005. Leung was a founding member of the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB). On 22 July 2014, Leung said, Justice Department is indeed a part of the government. Three branches of power all belong to the government. Therefore the judiciary officers and judges are the rules of Hong Kong. It is obligation for judges to love and obey the country. If you dont love the country, you should quit being judges. It is required that loving the country means obeying, you the judges working for that place of course must accept this obligation She also said, Whatever the country gives, whatever Hong Kong has. Hong Kongers cannot only look at two systems, cannot always talk we have these rights or these freedoms. We have to ask if what we do fit the profits of the country. She also said, Hong Kongers should not yell to end the One-Party Dictatorship written in the state constitutions. 5) Jasper Tsang Yok-sing 曾鈺成 is the 2nd and current President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and represents the Hong Kong Island constituency. He is a founding member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, one of the largest political parties in Hong Kong, and served as its Chairman from 1992 to 2003.

She was the first woman to be appointed as Secretary for Security to head the disciplinary service. In 2003 she advocated the forcible passage of legislation to implement Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23. Her popularity plummeted when one remark after another contradicted popular opinion, most notably in regard to her commitment to push the bill despite the commotion and chaos of the SARS outbreak in 2003. Concerned by the governments determination to force through the bill, up to 500,000 people marched to protest on 1 July 2003.She resigned after causing great controversies in plunging popularity. She then ran again in 2008 LegCo election and won. She was re-elected in 2012 LegCo elections. Ip has been criticised for her inconsistent stance toward democracy. In July 2008, Ip was once again embroiled in controversy for her comments about police tactics used against reporters covering the heated scenes in queues for Olympics tickets. In commenting about the man-handling of Hong Kong reporters by the Beijing police, she had said that neck-shoving [techniques]... were most effective in stopping trouble-makers. The following day, she stated that she supported freedom of the press and apologised for the slip of the tongue, clarifying that she was neither implying that journalists were troublemakers, nor endorsing the actions of the police. 7) Hong Kong Heyuan Societies is founded in 1999.

[News started] A female journalist of i-cable news: A period of time before the demonstration, some people reported receiving text messages, writing that going to demonstration can get paid, and many organisations organise people to demonstrate. Are these accusations true? Watch the experience of our two journalists today. The female journalist: In the morning I read from an online forum that some organisations are hiring people to demonstrate. The screen shots of conversations and contact methods are also posted. I called to register. It was about 9:45 AM. (On the phone) The female communicator of the demonstration: Have to be at Yuen Long District Hall before 10:30 AM. [Camara shifted. Scene of a coach, a male guide and several people.] A mans voice: (the guide) Get on the coach first! Uniforms are ready. Another male: Okay. Undercover female journalist: The photographer and I rushed to be there. At that time the coach bus was filled with several dozens of people. All seats were occupied. All the people have changed their clothes and worn the uniforms of Hong Kong Youth Association. Once the bus ran, the man in charge reminded the passengers Man in charge: Dont mention on-site that you are paid. Keep the money and be silent. Therefore please cooperate. A crowd: Good. Good. Good. Undercover female journalist: This woman counted the headcount row by row. Then someone began to distribute the money. The photographer and I each got HKD 250. The woman then gave the money to a man sitting next to us. The man counted the bills and gave part of them to people coming with him. We arrived Victoria Park. People from 3-4 coach buses got off the buses to assemble and ran into our reporting team. Teenage boy with a white cap and a white shirt: What are we called? Another taller boy also with a cap and a white shirt holding an umbrella: Hong Kong Youth Association. Another female journalist in the reporting team: Do you support Occupy Central? Man in white shirt: Support. The female journalist in the reporting team: Why? Man in white shirt: Because as Hong Kongers we have to support this. Female journalist in the reporting team: However isnt this demonstration ANTI-Occupy Central? Man in white shirt: Oh yes. Therefore we now support ANTI-Occupy Central. Undercover female journalist: Hong Kong Youth Association is founded in 1995. Elsie Leung Oi-sie and Jasper Tsang Yok-sing are both Chief Honourary Advisers. Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee is also an Honourary Adviser. (On the phone) Regina Ip: Perhaps it was not paying money. It is instead transport fee for those people coming out from remote areas. Let me take a look first. [Camera shifted. Scene of Victoria Park with people in white uniforms and other park visitors.] Undercover female journalist: A week ago our another journalist received notice from a friend, saying that each person demonstrating with Hong Kong Heyuan Societies can be paid HKD 200. Around 1pm he arrived Victoria Park but didnt see the man in charge despite a long wait. Therefore the journalist called him. The man in charge told the journalist that money is still paid without demonstration. Many people reported exaggerated numbers. Female voice: How many people are with you? Female team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies wearing a mask: We have 15 people. Same female voice asking of the headcount: You have 15 people. Okay you have 15 people. It is fine that I will tell him. Undercover female journalist: There are also other team members registered by other means, who said that it is unworthy that our journalists only received HKD200. A male team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: You are willing to do it for only HKD200? Undercover male journalist: Yes. Same male team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: Another HKD300 or HKD 500 per person is taken (by the people in charge). Dont you have food to eat? Your organisation is super, earning lots of money. Undercover male journalist: How much is the food? Same male team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: At least HKD 30-40. [Camera shifted. A woman held a flag guiding the team members to take MTR.] Undercover female journalist: After arrived the destination, the whole group took MTR to Sham Shui Po. [Camera shifted. The group walked.] Undercover female journalist: We reached a small park. People couldnt wait to get paid. However several sub-constractors couldnt agree on the amount. A male team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: Of course have to have HKD 380. Otherwise what? Another male team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: Only me HKD 380? And they got HKD350 (each)? A female team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: HKD 350 (each) for all person. Why HKD 380? A male team member of Hong Kong Heyuan Societies: Then do you pay or not? Say it, do you pay or not? Undercover female journalist: Sweaty effort of half a day in exchange of HKD380. Alliance for Peace and Democracy said they will certainly investigate. Robert Chow Yung: If anyone witnesses this happen, he/she should report to us directly. We will certainly investigate. If we prove that it is true, we will take action.
