Patrick Ko, founder of pro-Beijing and pro-CY Leung activist group Voice of Loving Hong Kong, praise Chief Executive CY Leung for his “struggle against those disrupting Hong Kong and against China” in an interview with Apple Daily yesterday.
Ko said he would give Leung 70 marks out of 100 for his performance for “strategically crushing occupy central” and “diligently executing Beijing’s directives”, according to Ming Pao.
He also gave the police credit for ensuring zero fatalities during last year’s Umbrella Movement.
Despite this success, he chided Leung’s cabinet for their ineffectiveness. National education should be introduced despite opposition, and RTHK should not be allowed to criticise the government, he believes.
People who have criticised Leung for appointing his supporters to various important government posts and committees are brainless, Ko added, according to EJ Insight.
Roping in loyalists “is one of the most logical things for Leung to do”.
Ko believes he himself would have been a “harder and stronger” chief executive were he given the chance to rule Hong Kong. Measures he would implement would include requesting Beijing to overrule local courts’ decisions.
He criticised the courts for being too lenient on last year’s pro-democracy protesters.
“The police worked hard to arrest these people, and these dog-judges just let them go, and that’s frustrating”, he said, reports Ming Pao.
He hinted that he may protest against the rulings at the judges’ residences.
