In 2000, an opinion poll scandal emerged in the University of Hong Kong when the Director of the university’s Public Opinion Programme (POP), Dr Robert Chung, revealed to the local media that he was pressured by then Chief Executive, Tung Chee Hwa, through a third person that he must stop conducting public opinion poll on the popularity of the Chief Executive and the government.
In October 1999, the former Chief Executive, Tung Chee Hwa (董建華), under the persuasion of SPH, promised in his 1999 Policy Address to downsize the reclamation plan for the Harbour and to follow the Principle of Sustainable Development as a major concern of the public.
However, the popularity of Tung himself remained low compared to his deputies including Donald Tsang and Henry Tang.
