Li Ka Shing announced today that he would take his ball and go home if the government and media didn't play by his rules. Mr. Li, who has become Hong Kongs richest person through a trail of corruption and cronyism that stretches from Mao to Tung, has amassed an off shore war chest estimated to be well over ten times that of Ferdinand Marcos.

The Hang Seng closed slightly higher as investors indicated they are simply sick of listening to his shit.

Vulva Lik, Managing director of sea food stall #103 at the Kwun Chung Public market and a shareholder in all of the Li Tribes publicly listed companies gave her analysis. "Aiii-ya. I buy so many share in Tom.com. Wait so long in line. Fight so many people. I think Li Ka Shing big cleaver man. Now share go down. Waah! He fire so many people. He no good. I move shares to PCCW"

Richard Li, Chairman of Pacific Century Scammer Works, the son of Li Ka Shing, and Little Chief of Li Tribe stated he has no intention of pulling out of Hong Kong. "As long as the governments keeps giving us money, free land, and exclusive monopolies I'm staying. Sir Dad might be getting idealistic about his public image in his old age, but I'm still 100% money grubbing whore through and through."
