Three points from the latest scandal surrounding Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying and his family. This time, it is about alleged pressure put by Leung on airport staff to bypass security rules to deliver a piece of left luggage to his daughter, who was at the boarding gate at the time. Almost one day after the allegation ran viral on social media Wednesday night, followed by print and electronic media on Thursday, Leung\u2019s office denied he had put pressure in a statement Thursday evening. He specifically denied having told in his conversation with Cathay Pacific staff to \u201ccall me Chief Executive Leung (\u6881\u7279\u9996).\u201d But he did confirm he has talked to and put questions to the staff concerning the left luggage upon request from his daughter Leung Chung-yan.<\/div>\n
