Hong Kong Commission of Police Tang King-shing : ''Some of the cases may never be solved in a lifetime

Source: Apple Daily

Previously, Hong Kong Commission of Police Tang King-shing had raised a storm when he said that possession of numerous obscene photographs may be construed as intent to distribute. This required Assistant Commission of Police Wong Fook-chuen to explain that it was alright to share the photos among friends. This prompted a wave of Internet 'friendships' among total strangers.

Yesterday, Tang King-shing made an appearance at the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk Chinese New Year celebrations, and enlightened the public with more words of wisdom.

Concerning his previous remarks about possession = distribution, Tang said: "This is just a matter of viewpoints and angles. I cannot help it if some citizens want to target me. But there are those who said that I was correct in what I said."

Concerning Wong Fook-chuen's previous press conference in which the announcement was made that the source of the photographs has been apprehended but the photographs continued to surface afterwards anyway, Tang said: "Wong only said that the source for the leaking of the photographs during the computer repair process has been apprehended. It is another source who is posting the photographs on the Internet."

Concerning whether this unsolved case would affect the reputation of the police, Tang said: "There are many cases that require a long investigation and some of them may never be solved in a lifetime ... I am not talking about this particular case, so you better not take this out of context
