LKS

TW asks whether we should invite LKS to be our Financial Secretary - that's an idea (hopefully not in the sense of Baldrick in The Black Adder).

In that case we may expect our government buying all the Lehman minibonds at hell low a price and sell them (back to the current owners !) some years later - when the price is three or five times higher.

Based on the past record, our new Financial Secretary would also approval building new hospitals in every district - provided that the government pays only for the chairs and tables.

And our senior citizens will have their Old Age Allowance (生果金) increased to HK$1000 - but paid in supermarket coupons. (Well, that's at least better than the current proposal of some Mr. Tsang, whose scheme would certainly bring him many sunny days with a clear sky - because there's no more that kind of cloud [浮雲].)

PS. The most famous Chinese businessman who turned Financial Secretary was Soong Tse-ven (宋子文). For those who are not familiar with the history of our country, Soong was once considered the richest man on earth - after he became the Financial Secretary of the formerly Republic of China (not People's Republic). Would you consider that good news ?
