Gillian Chung is not the only person who is "very naïve and very silly"

During the Chinese New Year period, it is common to ask: "Have you seen the photographs?" So we tried asking various political figures this question. Gillian Chung is not the only person who is "very naïve and very silly."

Legco president Rita Fan said that she had not seen the photos and no 'friend' sent her any. She said that this was a private matter among people which should not have been the public focus.

Executive Council member Leung Chun-ying had just returned from England. He said that it was fortunate that his children are studying England. Since they are stricter over there, his children will have less opportunity to come into contact with those photos. He appeared to be unaware that the Internet has no borders and that one can download overseas as well.

Legislative Councilor Timothy Fok represents the entertainment sector but he has not seen the photos. He said that he thought that the affair would be over quickly but things went out of hand. He is concerned that this affair would affect the values of young people. He does not know if his sons have seen the photos. He said that this affair was as cold as the weather nowadays.

Secretary of Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing said that he went to the Pearl River Delta with his family over the Chinese New Year. He did not get on the Internet and he did not read the news. Therefore he has not seen the photos. He said that many people told him about the importance of moral education after this affair, and he concurs.

Hong Kong University chancellor Tsui Lap-chee said that he had not seen the photos. He said that the students are grown-ups and he cannot control what they do. He said that the university is a place with freedom of adacdemics and the students can express divergent views. But Hong Kong University Dean of Student Affairs Chau Wai-lap said that he has ordered the information technology staff to monitor the computer servers. Obscene photos posted on the network will be deleted immediately. If a student should publish hyperlinks or the photos themselves, the university will not call the police but they will summon the student and refer the matter to the student disciplinary committee. Professor Chau said that the offending student will be punished, although not by expulsion.
