Peeved lawmaker goes chamber potty

Monday, November 09, 2009

He has burned paper coffins, chanted slogans at official functions and taken part in attacks on Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen that critics have labeled absolutely bananas.

Of more recent vintage, he allegedly called a female reporter a dog - something that could come back to bite him.

Now radical legislator "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung appears determined to take the proverbial piss out of the urine-testing scheme to be introduced in Tai Po schools next month.

Yesterday, he worked up about 100 students and teachers, as well as a handful of doctors, to protest against the scheme by pouring "urine" into a potty outside the Central Government Offices. Fortunately for everyone in the immediate vicinity, it was fake pee.

Leung, pictured, said the scheme invades the privacy of students, and called on Tsang to get both his urine and his brain tested.

He even threatened to "pee in the Legislative Council" should the scheme push ahead, though he did not say precisely where in the chamber this would happen.

Security undersecretary Lai Tung- kwok earlier said the scheme has been fine-tuned to allow participating students to withdraw even after they and their parents have signed consent forms.

That obviously failed to get Leung to zip up.
