		Though Leung clearly knows the law thoroughly and was ostensibly chosen by Tung Chee-hwa for that reason, I found her answers chilling because they were those of a technocrat who would simply follow orders.
		According to Leung, protesting his decision to violently suppress the student demonstrators would be legitimate but using the demonstration to incite the overthrow of the Chinese government would be illegitimate.

	Court: SEC can hold pay / Fraud probes warrant putting bonuses in escrow
		The SEC settled its case against former Chief Executive Officer Henry Yuen and former Chief Financial Officer Elsie Leung on undisclosed terms in January.

		The central issue in the case was whether the law's reference to extraordinary payments was clearly defined to include bonuses like the amounts negotiated by Yuen and Leung before their termination in 2002.
