| The saga over Leung Chung-yan (far right) and her left luggage continues |
Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's luggage-gate will not go away.
The Airport Authority issued a report Monday saying his wife Regina Leung Tong Ching-yee tried to take her daughter Chung-yan's luggage to the boarding gate but was refused entry (of course).
However, Leung denies she even tried to do that.
Today ahead of a weekly Executive Council meeting, he said there may have been some confusion at the time, which may have led to some having the impression that his wife wanted to deliver the luggage to her daughter directly.

"My wife had no boarding pass. So it's impossible for her to go to the boarding gate," Leung said. He explained that she only wanted to go to the pre-immigration clearance area.
The Airport Authority's report said Regina Leung "appeared upset" and asked why no one could deliver the luggage to her daughter.
"Then, Mrs Leung started to walk to L7 North Pre-Immigration stating that she would take the bag to the boarding gate herself," the report said.
"Avesco staff tried to stop Mrs Leung, but Mrs Leung kept walking to L7 North Pre-immigration," it continued.
The authority denied that the Leungs received any special privileges, as the bag was eventually delivered to Chung-yan just before she boarded her flight to San Francisco.
Leung added that, as per the report states, over 500 similar deliveries were made in the past year, so his daughter's case was not unusual.
