An attempt by the Airport Authority to clear the air over the \u201cluggage-gate\u201d saga surrounding a piece of left luggage belonging to Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying\u2019s daughter has failed; it raised new questions about the airport\u2019s security check procedure. Nor it has helped clearing the wrongdoings of Leung and his wife; it has done the opposite.<\/p>\n
In a 10-page report released by the Government on Monday night, the Airport Authority has maintained no safety protocols have been breached and special privileges granted.<\/p>\n
It recapped the events unfolded after Leung\u2019s daughter Chung-yan sought help from airport and Cathay Pacific staff at the boarding gate for a piece of missing luggage, which was later found at the passenger hall. She was told to return to the non-restricted area to pick up her luggage and go through the security check again. She did not do so.<\/p>\n
Her mother was said to be \u201capparently upset\u201d and had attempted to take the luggage to the pre-immigration point, saying she would take it to Chung-yan at the boarding gate. She was stopped by four airport staff. Separately, Chung-yan passed on her mobile phone to her father, the Chief Executive, for him to talk to a Cathay Pacific staff. \u00a0C.Y. was said to have asked for an update of the situation. No further details were given.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
