In closing, Sir, allow me
allow me to offer a special tribute to
Sir John and his team. For the past few years, there is no doubt
that we have a major crisis on our hands, Sir John as captain of
his team displayed admirable leadership in steering Hong Kong out
of troubled waters to calmer waters. Despite his own misfortune
that he could not have foreseen the magnitude and weight of the
problems he had to face and solve during his term of office, Sir
John will always be remembered as the robust stalwart who have
successfully safeguarded both the short and the long term economic
interest of Hong Kong.
