Ex hong kong leader jailed in fall from such a height

You're referring to the recent news about the former Hong Kong leader, Donald Tsang, being sentenced to 20 months in jail for misconduct in public office.

According to reports, Tsang, who served as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong from 2005 to 2012, was found guilty of misconduct in public office for accepting a luxury villa in Shenzhen, China, as a gift from a businessman. The villa was valued at around HK$6.5 million (approximately US$830,000).

Tsang was sentenced to 20 months in jail, with the first 12 months suspended, meaning he will only serve 8 months in prison. He was also fined HK$200,000 (approximately US$25,600).

The fall from grace of a former leader like Tsang is a significant development in Hong Kong's political landscape, and it highlights the importance of accountability and transparency in government.
