Leadership in Hong Kong
Leadership in Hong KongWhen we are talking about the tenure of the next Chief Executive of HKSAR, Donald Tsang, our Acting Chief Executive, always acts as hearing the grass grow without making any formal announcement of his candidacy. Maybe it is a way to keep his nose clean.
Meanwhile, Democratic Party chairman Lee Wing-tat and Chim Pui-chung, from financial services sector, are determined to become candidates. To be honest, both of them, despite serving HK for a longer period of time, make no figure at all. It is nearly 0% for them to ring the bell. Of course, they are not dull to make a scene get no advantage; they simply believe their bids can exert pressure on Donald Tsang, so that he can do better. The current situation, without strong and widely recognized leadership, gives me a big hump! I always doubt whether it is British privilege to develop political and public administrative leaders. How come there were John Chan, Michael Sze, Yeung Kai Yin, Anson Chan, Jack So, etc. as AOs in the seventies? But now we have Stephen Lam, Arthur Li, Patrick Ho, etc. to be our top government officials? As BusinessWeek says, “Hong Kong. It’s back!” , I really hope it is not only pointing to the economic side, but also the political side.
How about AIESEC? Can AIESEC itself be a solution to the above? Athought time will bear out, allow me to pore through a while.
We are holding a mission to develop global leaders with passion, integrity, commitment and excellent drive. As a MCP in Hong Kong, my dream is to see all 89 MCPs in the world can start from themselves being role models and shell out the most to develop their new generations. @XP is a truly life-changing exchange that speaks volumes. But without excellent individual, who can proves his mettle; AIESEC will stand pat and never be par excellence in the world. Hence, everyone should lead by example, move, shake and rock!
Hope you all agree the brightest future is yet to come.

Hey Gary,
You are so @ly brain-washed! I was so amused by your @XP description though I believe in it as a very powerful tool as well.
It is cool that we all have our ideals and ambitions! Sadly, I always find myself very different from most of my friends or classmates. I am not sure how to achieve influence on a larger scale. Because it is depressing and lonely to see our same age friends are not yet aware of the problems and our responsibilities.
Thus, AIESEC needs to exist and has a long way to cover.
Fight together! ;-)

Aditi,
Thanks for your greetings. Pass my warm regards to your MC team elect as well.
Chris,
To me, you are more brain-washed by AIESEC, aren't you? Probably, our upholding values and ideas on the future make ourselves difference. We have been destined to be so called the "minority group" since joining AIESEC.
How to impact the general public is what I am thinking of recently. Do you have any ideas? This is exactly related to our brand!
Try to see what you can do now to impact the future, what you can learn in AIESEC to be able to lead the society. It's definitely not an easy task for anyone of us, and that is why it becomes an interesting challenge to live by.
I wish you all the best in the year and as I head to the future, I look forward to such great passion and commitment you've shown towards the final ROARING of the AP TIGERS! :)
All the best!
