New Miss Hong Kong apologises for swearword-laden online posts against CY Leung and officials
Newly crowned Miss Hong Kong Crystal Fung Ying-ying has courted controversy after netizens uncovered swearword-laden Facebook posts remarking on CY Leung two years ago. She has since claimed that she was “influenced by the passionate environment of university” at the time.

One post asked “how many times does Tree Gun have to fuck up before he has had enough?” referring to Chung’s misinterpretation of an Umbrella Movement art piece as a weapon.

‘Very young’
On Monday, TVB arranged for her to meet the press at TVB city in Tseung Kwan O. She told reporters that she did indeed write the posts in question. “I was very young when I wrote those comments,” Fung said.

She stressed that she did not intend for her comments to be publicly visible. Posting it on Facebook was a way for her to “express myself on a private platform for those closest to myself,” Fung said.
Fung has earned support from some netizens for her outspokenness, while others have slammed her action. A pro-establishment Facebook page titled “Hong Kong Youth Development Society” called her a “less than a whore” and vowed to boycott her, Stand News reported.
Miss Hong Kong is an annual beauty pageant contest held by TVB, the largest free-to-air broadcaster in Hong Kong. This year’s results were announced on Sunday.
