Opinion polls showing declining support for Tung Chee-hwa were
distorted, an official in charge of Hong Kong affairs said yesterday.

"Forgive me for being frank, but public opinion has been misled. Not all the opinion surveys are accurate. "Over the past two years, Mr Tung has shown good leadership. Hong Kong people should feel lucky they have a good Chief Executive." (Source: South China Morning Post; Hong Kong; Jul 17, 1999)
