Let Teresa Cheng Get On With Her Job: Carrie Lam

Chief Executive Carrie Lam says opposition legislators should "put an end" to their follow-up into the illegal structures scandal surrounding her justice minister, and let Teresa Cheng do her job.

A number of unauthorised works were discovered at Cheng's properties soon after she took the job last month, though she had said she was "too busy" to notice the problems.

Speaking in a radio interview, Lam once again defended the justice chief, saying they were not hiding anthing, or she would have asked Rimsky Yuen to stay on a little bit longer.

On housing, the Hong Kong leader urged critics to look at public-private partnerships in boosting land-supply objectively, and said they should not jump to the conclusion that there's any transfer of benefits or collusion.
