We had Henry Tang disavow all knowledge of his illegal structures, basements, cupolas, and whatnot and hide behind his wife. Then C.Y. "Vlad the Impaler" Leung pulled the same stunt. Now, Leung's hand-picked development secretary has turned out to be a subdivided flat slumlord ... wait ... no ... it's his wife *wink**wink**nudge* who handles all of that.
It's so ridiculous that it's funny ... until you remember that these folks are running the city.
