Why we should spread the load
"Seeking changes while preserving stability" is the principle underlying my policy implementation.



Noisy sign of times
I would really appreciate if all transport providers - trains, buses, trams, minibuses and ferries - could put up signs reminding passengers to use their earpieces when they listen to music, watch a movie or play a game on their iWhatever so as not to disturb other passengers.

Cabbies get the call
I would like to bring to the attention of JS Lam that nearly all taxi drivers in Hong Kong have a minimum of two mobile phones on standby - I've even seen a few with six.

Columnist hits target
Hats off to JS. Lam in his "Policing the Times" column for using his brains and not his heart in establishing that an "insult" police law may be counterproductive.

Bad show, Lady Gaga
I had no choice but to leave midway through Lady Gaga's show on Wednesday after her insulting remarks about Hong Kong.

Chen escape has China-US talks on knife-edge
When Hillary Clinton made her first trip abroad as secretary of state, she baldly said the United States could not let human rights disputes get in the way of working with China on global challenges.

Something to chew on
I'm glad for the recent fracas over a child eating noodles on the MTR and being told off for it because that highlighted a problem that has been going on for a long time and it seems it has made the MTR Corp jump into action. Good!

Officials are only human
A rational look at the private life of public officials - who are human and no man is perfect - is needed.

Witchhunt not needed
With reference to JS Lam's article on "pak pai" and Donald Tsang Yam- kuen's travels ("`Pak pai' payment is the big question," The Standard, March 1), the one real lesson we all should learn is to stop McCarthyism.
