Dear editor: Kudos to Chang Kit for taking a stance—no matter the timing of it When should he have done it? The bill was proclaimed on 27 December 2020. As if to make light of his resignation, many asked ‘why he resigning right before he departs anyway’? And ‘how does corruption impact economic growth’? (A very simple and obvious relationship, I thought!) Photo: Former deputy chairman of the Office of Procurement Regulation James Chang Kit. So the focus shifted to whether his resignation means anything so close to the end of his contract and if his points connecting corruption and poor economic growth were garbage. I disagree on both points.
