		Anson Chan had a profound effect on the civil service culture post 1997 for she conceptualized and put together a coherent theory for the political neutrality of a civil servant to stand apart from the Chief Executive in any important decision.
		Anson Chan was not only able to shape the so-called neutrality concept; she had become the only source of power within the civil service, long before C.H. Tung assumed the position of Chief Executive.
		Anson Chan, who started her career at the bottom of the colonial ladder, had thirty years to perfect the art of being obedient and in the right light at the right time.
