CE's transcript on Lei Muk Shue wounding case
*********************************************

Following is the transcript of the media session (English portion) by the Chief Executive, Mr Donald Tsang, on the wounding case in Lei Muk Shue at Central Government Offices this afternoon (August 26):

Reporter: What are your feelings about what happened to the little boy ? And what is the Government going to do about that?

Chief Executive: It's totally sick and an intolerable act. I have contacted the Commissioner of Police.  He will do everything possible to apprehend the culprits and put them before the law.  I have absolute sympathy and fond feeling for the little boy. I hope he will recover soon. The Social Welfare Department colleagues have been in contact with the family and will extend whatever help if possible. This is absolutely intolerable.
