Bernadette Linn

Bernadette Linn Hon Ho JP (Chinese: 甯漢豪, born 7 January 1964) is a Hong Kong government official, currently serving as Secretary for Development.

[5] In a 2009 Legislative Council committee meeting, Linn criticised pro-democracy lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung for using unparliamentary language, which he declined to classify as, denouncing then Chief Executive Donald Tsang over inadequate measures on elderly welfare.

Raising a point of order, Linn said, as a mother herself, the best test to define foul language "would be whether a parent would be prepared to teach his/her children to use the expression in daily conversations or writings".

[7] During her tenure, the construction of 12,000 public housing flats on century-old Fanling Golf Course stirred controversies in the city.

Despite different parties, including Hong Kong Golf Club, tournament organisers and even pro-government figures spoke out strongly against the plan, Linn said the government remained determined and vowed to deliver on the housing supply goal despite rezoning delay.
