Denise Yue

Denise Yue Chung-yee (Chinese: 俞宗怡) GBS JP (born 1952) was a Hong Kong politician and Secretary for the Civil Service.

[1] Yue signed off on the approval for Leung to take up the job after it passed through the Advisory committee on post-service employment of civil servants, responsible for vetting the application.

[2] After public outcry amidst widespread suspicion of conflict of interest,[1] Chief Executive Donald Tsang called the Secretary to account.

[3] On 15 August, the Civil Service Bureau issued the report requested by Tsang, where they admitted that they had not considered Leung's role in the Hung Hom Peninsula affair when approving his appointment.

[5] New World announced in the early hours of 16 August that Leung had resigned from his post, and would not be seeking compensation from the government for its "inappropriate handling".
