曾蔭權


這陣子街頭巷尾市民均搖頭嘆息、嘖嘖稱奇: 「上任時有八成民意支持的特首,何時開始變得這樣令人不齒?」是正如他所說社會變了?還是他變了?是他本性根本是如此?還是這只是權力腐化的結果?

第一次認識曾蔭權是於九八年。那時我正為特區政府於機場大混亂調查委員會聆訊中辯護。在一次會議後,陳方安生介紹我認識曾蔭權。我記得當時她笑著說:「這是特區政府團隊中最能幹的一位公務員!」他只是笑了笑,什麼話也沒說。但和他握手時,我感覺不到陳方安生所說公務員應有的那份熱誠和謙虛。

消息傳來他要當特首了。他吹著口哨上班,確實是給人一種小人一朝得志之感。但我為他解說,只是人逢喜事精神爽罷了。他參選特首時大言不慚地自稱他是一位「政治家」。我為他解說,只是他中文水平不夠,混淆了從政者與政治家之分罷了。到了兩次政改,他堅持親疏有別不與民主派商議,一邊廂寸步不讓,另一邊廂不斷散播民主派要求過高的訊息。我又為他解說,他只是受中央束縛而已。

但從司機漠視交通規例,至慳電膽事件,到今天,我對他的看法動搖了。他是否一個享盡權力、以權謀私的人?到了今天我領略到「路遙知馬力,日久見人心」的真正意義。

這故事教訓我們,一朝民望高企只是海市蜃樓;是片面的,是沒真正意義的。要真正認識一個人,無論是社會領袖或只是一位普通朋友,豈是朝夕之事?就算是民主選舉洗禮,也只是一種最後的測試,公眾長年累月的監察才是真正的試金石。

Donald Tsang is a disgrace to the entire government, especially its civil servants. He devised a fool-roof system which prohibits civil servants, high or low rank, to accept favors. Those who do will be punished quite severely. So far so good. Agree?? Wrong. He is not bound by those rules. Smart?? Right.

After Donald Tsang scandal of getting favors from tycoons, the Kwok brothers of Sun Hung Kai Properties and a former chief secretary of H K were arrested on corruption charges. What a shock to the world that H K is not so clean after all those boosting of an incorruptible civil service. Lord patten said the H K civil service is the finest. Amazing

A joke: "anybody missing the days when Tung Chee Hea was CE?"
My friends overseas like to chat with me about HK's and our prospects. Our conclusions often boil down to: while "working too hard is not all that hard", we have to hope HK won't get more screwed up... So, talking about such negativity, thank you DT for accommodating himself and the numerous officals like Stephen Lam. Things get screwed up from top to bottom.

Re Mr F Leung's saying " Lord patten said the H K civil service is the finest. Amazing"
Patten was smart enough to get people like Tung CH and Tsang YK up, don't you think so?

The days of Tsang are numbered. Like John Tsang, Donald is planning a lot of overseas trips before the June 30th. No eye see.

Sir Donald Tsang is not flying coach, staying at a motel, eating at McDonald's and taking the bus. He is having fun at taxpayers' expense if not sailing in his buddies' yachts. His answer is :Chief Executive has friends too. Chief Executive has to go tycoon style when he travels. Right?
