The new Chief Executive of Hong Kong, C.Y. Leung, is under scrutiny by the Hong Kong media. They are like a dog with a bone constantly referring to his questionable integrity and honesty.
So let's just have a look at how bad other world leaders have been and then let's compare C.Y. Leung's alledged 'illegal activity'
Ferdinand Marcos - President of the Philippines from 1972 to 1986 embezzled $10 billion dollars for his own personal use and a few pairs of shoes for his lovely wife.
Slobodan Milosevic - President of Yugoslavia/Serbia from 1989 to 2000 embezzled $1 billion and found guilty of crimes against humanity involving torture, murder and medieval savagery against his people.
Jean-Claude Duvalier (Baby Doc) - President of Haiti from 1971 to 1986 embezzled $800 billion, violated human rights related to disappearances and abuse of his people.
Richard Nixon - President of USA from 1969 to 1974 forced to resign from office after Watergate scandal revealed his involvement in a cover-up which he had initially vehemently denied.
Bill Clinton - President of USA from 1993 to 2001 world wide humiliation for himself, his lover and his family as a consequence of sexual improprieties in the White House Office involving a cigar and Monica Lewinsky. The world's conservative media had a field day in lambasting him once he stopped denying it and said "Yeh I did it!" Doh!
Now here is the shocking heinous crime of Hong Kong Chief Executive C.Y. Leung ...
Having an office fitted with some extra partitions and, brace yourself, having an extension built on his luxury home. Illegal Structures - Lesley's blog
I know that your world is rocked by this horrible and vicious act committed by Mr Leung and I genuinely hope you are not traumatised by my revealing the extent of his corruption.
Just stop focusing on this pathetic accusation, no one cares.

So the word which upsets people most if luxury rather than illegal or extension!

it's very true... with the vast majority of the population living at apartments of less than 600 sq. ft. in size, the act (living in a luxury house) itself is already a crime..
