HONG KONG, March 26 -- Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor won the election of the fifth-term chief executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) on Sunday, vowing to do her utmost to safeguard the "one country, two systems" principle.

The Electoral Affairs Commission of the Hong Kong SAR declared that Lam garnered 777 of 1,163 valid votes, followed by Tsang Chun-wah with 365 and Woo Kwok-hing with 21.

A candidate wins the election when he or she obtains more than 600 valid votes in any round of voting and will be appointed by the central government, according to Hong Kong's Basic Law and the Chief Executive Election Ordinance.

After the appointment, the winner will take oath of office on July 1 and become the fifth-term chief executive.

In her speech to the press after winning the election, Lam said "I shall do my utmost to uphold 'one country, two systems' and to guard our core values."

"With care, listening and action, I will build a better Hong Kong," she said.

"The victory ...that I have in this election is very much the effort of my team and myself and the supporters who believe I can take Hong Kong forward."

She also said that she will give opportunities to young people, and her first priority will be to "heal the divide."

Another candidate Tsang Chun-wah conceded his defeat and called on his supporters to back the upcoming new administration.

"I accept this outcome," he said, asking his supporters to "lend her your support."

Incumbent Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying on Sunday congratulated Lam for winning the fifth-term chief executive election.

"The fifth-term chief executive election has just concluded smoothly," Leung said in a statement on the results of the election.

"I extend my sincere congratulations to Mrs. Carrie Lam (Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor) on her successful election and I will submit later today a report of the election results to the Central People's Government," he said.

Leung said the present-term government of the Hong Kong SAR and he himself will ensure a "seamless transition," adding that "we will fully support the preparation for forming the new term of government."

Well China and Vietnam have a long history so there's plenty of intermarriage.

Well China and Vietnam have a long history so there's plenty of intermarriage.

QUITE TRUE! Even the sacrosanct leader of the New Vietnam, Hồ Chí Minh, got married to a Chinese woman, Zeng Xueming （曾雪明）, known in Vietnamese as Tăng Tuyết Minh in 1926.

Hồ Chí Minh's wife, Zeng Xueming （曾雪明）aka. Tăng Tuyết Minh​

The legal witnesses of this marriage were the two top women's personalities of the New China: Cai Chang （蔡畅) and Deng Yingchao （邓颖超 | 鄧穎超）, wife of future Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai.

Zeng was 21 and Ho was 36. The wedding took place in the same building where Zhou had married Deng earlier.

P.S: Cai Chang was the future President of the All-China Women's Federation as well as the future Vice Chairman of the Fifth NPC Standing Committee.

Hong Kong’s data privacy pioneer lowers his guard
5 Nov 2016
In what could be one of Hong Kong’s most significant data breaches ever, the personal information of the city’s 3.7 million voters was possibly compromised after the Registration and Electoral Office reported two laptop computers went missing at its backup venue for the chief executive election.

The devices also stored the names of the 1,200 electors on the Election Committee who selected Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor as Hong Kong’s new chief executive on Sunday. Kong chief executive election, with 777 votes
The two computers were stolen from a room at the AsiaWorld-Expo on Lantau, which the office described as the election’s “fallback venue”.

The leadership election was held on Sunday at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai.

While the committee members’ full names are publicly available information, the personal data of Hong Kong’s voters could include their ID card numbers, addresses and mobile phone numbers.

The office said the computers had been put in a locked room. It reported the case to police.

The case involves a huge amount of personal data. The office is going to launch a probe
PRIVACY COMMISSIONER SPOKESMAN
In a statement, the office said there had so far been no information to indicate that the relevant data had been “leaked”. It also stressed the data had been encrypted.

Police said they received a report about the stolen computers around 4.40pm Monday. The case was being treated as theft and no arrests had been made. New Territories South regional crime unit was investigating.

A spokesman for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said it had received “verbal notification” of the case from the electoral office earlier Monday.

“They stressed that the data had been encrypted,” he said. “The case involves a huge amount of personal data. The office is going to launch a probe.”

The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau said it had received a report from the electoral office that the computers were found to have been stolen around Monday afternoon.

A spokesman for the AsiaWorld Expo said it had no comment.

Election Committee member Fung Wai-wah said he was shocked to learn what had happened. “We had not been told there was a backup centre for the chief executive election,” he said.

Another committee member, lawmaker Charles Mok, said he found it “puzzling” that general voters’ data had been stored alongside that of committee members. “Perhaps they didn’t put the voters’ data in a proper place after last year’s legislative elections and then the devices were used for the chief executive election,” he added.

Hong Kong’s data privacy pioneer lowers his guard

Last September, a computer belonging to the University of Hong Kong’s department of medicine kept at Queen Mary Hospital was stolen. It contained the personal details of some 3,675 patients.

In reply to a lawmaker enquiry last June, the bureau said during the period from June 2013 to May 2016, the privacy commissioner’s office received a total of 253 notifications of data breach incidents.

That personal data mainly included names, personal identification numbers and contact information.

What a blatant show of incompetency!

Do they all forgot that the HKSAR is one of the largest and the most active operating dens in Asia for those foreign spy agencies? many related heads should fall from their seats and jails should be called their new home.

It looks like an inside job. Also I don't think there has anything to do with those foreign spy agencies, since they have enough resources to steal those information without anyone notice. Not to mentions, this incident looks very ammature and those data at best only provide the home address of those 1200 Election Committee and their ID numbers, nothing else.

By An Baijie (China Daily) 08:02, April 01, 2017

Premier says election win clearly shows public's confidence in her to lead SAR

Premier Li Keqiang signed an administrative order on Friday appointing Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor as the fifth chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The SAR's chief executive election was conducted in accordance with the Basic Law, the decisions of the National People's Congress Standing Committee and the election laws of Hong Kong, Li said at a full State Council meeting in Beijing on Friday.

Lam won the election on Sunday with 777 of 1,163 valid votes, showing the Hong Kong public's wide recognition of, trust in and expectations from Lam, Li said.

She will take the oath of office on July 1.

According to the Basic Law, the chief executive is the head of the Hong Kong SAR government, carrying great responsibilities.

The central government will continue to fully implement the principle of "One Country, Two Systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" with a high degree of autonomy, Li said.

The central government will act strictly in line with the Constitution and the Basic Law, to ensure that the implementation of "One Country, Two Systems" will never be bent or distorted, he added.

Premier Li pledged to fully support the chief executive and the Hong Kong SAR government to govern in line with the laws, develop the economy and improve the people's livelihoods.

The State Council supports the cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland, Li said, adding that the central government plans to make use of Hong Kong's strengths to raise the status of the SAR in the country's economic development and opening-up.

Li said he believes that after Lam becomes chief executive, she will definitely unite the Hong Kong SAR government and Hong Kong people from all walks of life to make practical progress, maintain the long-term prosperity and stability in the SAR and secure a better future.

The Government Work Report, which Li delivered to deputies of the National People's Congress on March 5, noted that the chief executives and governments of Hong Kong and Macao have the central government's full support in "exercising law-based governance, growing their economies, improving people's well-being, advancing democracy and promoting social harmony".

Read the title please which said the data of 3.7 voters, not just 1,200 Election Committee members
So why to bring the data of all voters there when the election did not concern that much larger lot of people?

Through the address as revealed in the data, they can locate the online addresses of all the people concerned and then tap into their political propensities

I know, our news talk about that day and night. Our councillors had asked the same question, the only answer they offered that is they put all data together. Yeah, that is stupid and lazy. My previous post had been edited by moderator, I tend to believe this was done by the yellow camp due to how unprofessional of this action. Also the latest news reveals that few government employees have been asked for the investigation due to the CCTV records. However, still very little information have been revealed to the general public.

Good, only Pro-Beijing politicians should be allowed as chief executive of Hong Kong since it will ensure stability and prosperity for the city.

ALL of the candidates for HK Chief Executive were Pro-Beijing. She just happens to be more Pro-Beijing than the others.

I don't think any candidate for HK Chief Executive is stupid enough to be anti-Beijing.

John Tsang looked like a hidden anti-Beijing candidate to me since most of the supports he had were anti-Beijing and foreign based (such as foreign news like to describe him as a saviour to HK people). Not to mentions, he entered the election even Beijing asked him not to, and his policies had shifted to more pan-democrats favoured. And Woo Kwok-hing is a populists, and nothing more. So Carrie was the only choice that CCP left.

JT was using the strategy of "挾民意以令中央"
He is the trojan horse. Overwhelming numbers of voters in the anti-BJ camps supported him.
