Gulf Daily News: Beijing is silent as Tung quits

From Gulf Daily News:

Hong Kong leader Tung Chee-hwa yesterday looked set to resign, cutting short a turbulent eight-year tenure overshadowed by economic recession, policy gaffes and unease over China’s interference.

Local newspapers splashed Tung’s resignation across their front pages, but the governments in both Beijing and Hong Kong refused to confirm or deny whether the territory’s first post-colonial leader was stepping aside.
