Lee pledged to review the incident but emphasized that the government decision was unrelated to the car crash that killed a Hong Kong man trying to leave Thailand. Members of the Executive Council also criticized the government for a lack of decisive attitude. Cheng Yiu-tong said top government officials should have been involved in deciding whether to charter flights to Thailand. He thought the case of former senior civil servant Leung Chin-man, whose post-service employment in the private sector may be investigated by a Legislative Council select committee, had put pressure on some officials. Cheng said the government has become relunctant to make contingency decisions so as to avoid being held responsible in the future. As of yesterday, the Immigration Department had received 930 calls for assistance. More than 800 of the callers have returned to Hong Kong or obtained seats on the charters.
