Then he will set policies basically to meet the necessity of the Majority.

He fears no Evil Forces or Triad Society. On his retum from England last year, the Governor affirmed that he would do everything within his power to restore law and order.

He is not in favour of general social intercourses. always concentrates on his work. He always seeks opportunier to offer his service to the citizens of Hong Kong.
