[edit] Moved Page Back
Someone moved the page to TungWARNING! Chee Hwa and I moved that page back here. I am not sure if the fault lies with me, but none of the history seems to be there anymore. There wasn't a history before I moved it either, but my apologies if I handled that incorreclty. Gantry 12:34, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name
How is it "officially Tung Chee-hwa"? --Jiang
- Should be "Tung Chee Hwa" on identification documents.
[edit] Puppet government?
Puppet government is a bit too strong for the SAR government. Roadrunner 04:18, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Profile of Tung
would anyone know the education background of Mr Tung?
I heard that he read engineering in the UK. (however, his mentality is not very "westernized")
- Tung's father ran a shipping company but ran into financial trouble. The PRC government bailed him out by allowing him to ship arms to various countries. Thus, it is now his son's turn to repay the debt incurred by Tung senior.
- Tung Chee-hwa got a degree in Marine Engineering in the University of Liverpool.
-
- It was him who save the company after his father's death, by turning from the ROC to the PRC. One of his sisters is the wife of an ROC guy.
[edit] Tung's term of office
The Hong Kong government site seems to be of the opinion that his term was only up to until 11th March, though his resignation was only confirmed late on 12th March. Should the article use the 11th March date? -- KittySaturn 12:00, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)
- The same happened when the CPG announced the acceptance of Donald Tsang's resignation via the Xinhua News Agency. The statement said the office of Tsang ended the day before the statement was issued. — Instantnood 15:09, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] External links
It is a bad structure to have internal links listed under the section header of "External links" This problem is widespread in many pages in this catagory. Kowloonese 19:13, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Quotes
We've heard myriads of Tung's famous (infamous, though, to someone) dicta like, typically: "If Hong Kong is fine, then China will be fine; if China will be fine, then every one will be fine." Sadly, I can't see anyone has written down any fabulous quotes up to the moment. Now, Regina Ip has her own individual Wikiquote page, so why not our dearest Mr Tung? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 19:09, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tung Chee Hwa's Cantonese name?
Should the Cantonese pronunciation of Tung Chee Hwa's name be added to the page (since he's a HK politician)? Some people reading might be mistakenly led to believe that Tung Chee Hwa is the Cantonese pronuncation of his name. --Yuje 00:45, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Haha. That reminded me a joke of To Kit in his column. He said the British would pronounce "Wa" instead of "Hwa". :) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 05:26, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be "Wah"? :-D The Cantonese pronunciation is added. Is his name tranliterated based on Shanghainese? Is it really a politician? :-P — Instantnood 07:55, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Since the man is from Shanghai, perhaps it would be proper to give his name in Shanghainese IPA pronunciation as well. --Yuje 13:56, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
- To Kit always pretends to be knowledgable, but he ends up exposing his ignorance a lot of times. He was wrong to suggest that "Tung" is cantonese. The idea that a shanghai family would have their family name specifically in cantonese is absurd and a display of cantonese stupidity. --137.189.4.1 01:15, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be "Wah"? :-D The Cantonese pronunciation is added. Is his name tranliterated based on Shanghainese? Is it really a politician? :-P — Instantnood 07:55, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
