Hong Kong’s former leader Donald Tsang Yam-kuen became the city’s highest-ranked official to be put behind bars after he was sentenced on Wednesday to 20 months in prison for misconduct.
The judge cut Tsang’s sentence to 20 months from an original 30, giving him credit for a life dedicated to public service, reinforced by a range of letters that “all speak with one voice to his commitment to servicing the people of Hong Kong”.
