    Emily Lau deserves a thank you

    After 24 years in Legco, ‘Hong Kong’s Iron Lady’ Emily Lau bows out | South China Morning Post

    Whether you're a fan of her middle of the road but dramatic style Ms Lau is retiring from LegCo after 24 years of trying to hold the Government to account, she should probably get some sort of civic award for her service to the city. Obviously she wont...

    She has held the Democratic party together even though the massive geographic constituencies are designed to tear it apart.

    Just a quick thank you from me - Even though I know you don't read expat pages
    Mefisto and spode like this.

    i have always assumed a "stint" is a much shorter period of time. more like 3 or 6 months, not 24 years. thats a lifetime.

    24 years is an epoch. Or at least an era.
