The Hong Kong’s leader faces ”huge
integrity problem,” as what opposition politicians said as they called him to
explain the reasons why he kept large payments from the Australian company
secret.
Chun-ying is currently facing mass
pro—democracy protests that paralyzed parts of financial hub for more than a
week, has yet no comment on the said publicly on the affair.
But as what his office said, the
leader was no legal obligation to declare the earnings. The said revelation
comes as the Chinese president launches widespread anti—graft crackdown and the
austerity drive targeting party officials on mainland.
Australia’s Fairfax reported that
Leung received payments totaling to USD6.5 million from the Australian
engineering company UGL while he is on office.
The said payments relate to deal
struck in 2011 of December months before Leung took the office, but week after
he announced his candidacy during purchase of the insolvent property services
firm of DTZ, where Leung was director and the chairman of its regional
operations.
