FSDC welcomes green bond issued by Link REIT
HK Government, 15-Jul-2016

Don't be a slave to reform, says finance figure
HK Standard, 30-Oct-2014
Laura Cha, HK Executive Councillor and delegate to the NPC, compares HK people to slaves in America, and gets her history on their voting rights hopelessly wrong too (clue: 15th Amendment, Laura).

The Government's announcement on Friday of short names without their day-jobs left the public wondering who some of these people are.
