Regardless of whether he is innocent in this CFL bulb scandal, the fact of the matter is, the public has already handed him a guilty verdict.
At best, the oversight was unintentional, and he simply failed to abide by the self declaration protocol with which he is supposed to adhere to. That alone would cause the public to question and doubt his ability in other policy matters. At worst, he purposely pushed for/approved the policy, and that kind of greed would provide more than enough cause for a resignation. In fact, if you go back to recent history, the nature of this was quite similar to the Lexus-buying incident that brought down the ex-finance minister, Leung Gum Chung.
Will Bowtie develop another foot/leg pain and step down? With only 2 years left to go in Bowtie's term, and given all the power-struggle and in-fighting that is going on in the CCP for Boss Hu's successor, I really don't think Grandfather has the time nor attention to sort out this matter. So all that will happen is, the Bowtie administration will continue to be a crippled sitting duck government that can't get anything done at all, and the people of HK will continue to suffer.
