Hong Kong leader's daughter shows Palin levels of entitlement and lack of tact

[muriel_volestrangler]

At a time when people on the streets calling for you to resign and for completely open elections for your successor, this is not what you want from your daughter:

BEIJING: The daughter of Hong Kong chief executive CY Leung has poured a good amount of cold water on China's carefully crafted public relations strategy to persuade agitating youth to end their agitation.

The daughter, Chai Yan Leung, said in a Facebook post that her diamond necklace was bought on "silly" tax payer's money.
...
"The necklace on my profile pic is not a dog collar, silly!!!" she said. "This is actually a beautiful necklace bought at Lane Crawford (yes - funded by all you HK taxpayers!! So are all my beautiful shoes and dresses and clutches!! Thank you so much!!!!)".

Chai Yan hit out at those taunting her saying, "Actually maybe I shouldn't say 'all you'- since most of you here are probably unemployed hence all this time obsessed with bombarding me with messages". She later said, "It's ok, your mother still loves you".

They've taken down the page, but only after the Hong Kong press published it.

1. Damn. I'm having a hard time keeping up....

I'm stunned by ignorance and arrogance on a daily basis. The ability to constantly see such crassness via today's social network is mind blowing. Glad I'm old because I'm not sure I want to see where all of this will go.

3. wow is right...

How Republican of her...
The only other coherent thought I can have contextually after reading that is that somewhere in France is one of them-there "National Razor" thingies that needs oiling...
Literally I'm so stunned that it froze my Brain.

5. It's so bad, it's crossed my mind that it was a hack

but from what the rest of the article says, she has a history of posting incredibly tactless things on Facebook.

4. That sound you hear is the sharpening of blades

Not a smart attitude to express in public when the entire city is in the streets already.
