Mr. Chairman, when I came on the scene, I thought this would be a very straightforward matter. The Vice-Chancellor makes a recommendation, and we rubber-stamp it, and that's deemed a fact. However, I do have some worries that I feel I should articulate, the Dean, the Vice-Chancellor, in those days, were elected by the Faculty. So all you have to do is to be a nice guy to everyone, and I think Johannes Chan is a very nice guy. And at this point, I'd like to declare my interest; there was one of the referees which is my cousin. And my cousin has already said he's a very very nice guy.
So from that point of view, I have no worry in that he is dean, my main worry on academic side was that he has no higher degree equal to a PhD or an MD or LLD, now you may say in law is not necessary. Well, if it is not necessary, why is such a degree there in the first place? And when you look at the other referee professors, they all got LLDs. Therefore, either he hasn't tried or he is too busy or he doesn't think it is important, but if that's the case he will be devaluated maybe of the lecturers, professors who have got PhDs, who have gone through the rigours of academic pursuits. Now, can you, can someone be in charge of promotion of another person who actually has not gone through the same rigours as that other person and give an honest independent objective view? And I would put my question here is that, I do have my doubt about this.
The second thing I'd like to bring up is that, we've been said that we've been under a lot of pressure from the liaison office, from the Chief Executive, and I'd like to say very categorically I have not been under any pressure. It has been said that the left-wing press,《文匯報》、《大公報》have been running hundreds of articles against this candidate. And quite honestly, I don't read《文匯報》 or《大公報》, and I think most people in Hong Kong do not read《文匯報》 or《大公報》. Relatively most people take a negative view, the more they say about something, the more we feel anti whatever they say.
However, on the other side, it's that the political parties are very well organized, very well informed, very well...how would I say... very keen to push this candidate by, as Leonie said, by intimidation, by failing our council meeting, by having concern groups and all these threatening JRs and everything. But I just wonder why is these political parties so keen on this candidate, is it, you know, in the Mainland university, they have黨委書記. Do they want a黨委書記 at Hong Kong U? Is he a黨委書記? is he put in here as a黨委書記? So I don't know, forgetting about the politics, all these things made me feel very uncomfortable and very uneasy with this candidate.
Thank you.

Chairman, I have been a corporate CEO and employer for over30 years, and I have interviewed and hired hundreds of people in the past. But never in my life have I encountered a candidate who will overtly and recklessly discuss his or her potential employment at any stage of the recruitment process. This in fact is already in breach of confidentiality.
It is most unfortunate that the candidate recommended by the University Search Committee has never been tabled at this Council for deliberation. In our view we are actually doing it according to procedures.
I am in support of press freedom and also in sympathy with the candidate who defended himself against the criticism of some media. But apparently he has gone too far, to create controversy and use external and internal forces, directly or indirectly to lobby, pre-claim, coerce, intimidate, fabricate and sometimes even threaten Council members to approve his appointment. I myself was a victim on February12th this year when I was accused by a local newspaper for stalling his appointment at this Council. I then have to issue a public statement to clarify that the Council has not even started to discuss this appointment. This is just one incidence among many, and to me, all these tactics in fact are interferences in the University affairs at the highest level.
As members of the Council, and also trustee of the University, we are professionals with our independent judgment and ethics. We do our assessment based on the…… interests of HKU and the community at large. Given that position of the pro-vice-chancellor is responsible for academic recruitment and resources, the pro-vice-chancellor should be a role model for all, staff and students included. So I have strong reservation about the recommended candidate's integrity. And I would not accept the recommendation. Thank you.
