David Webb's parting words
Hong Kong investors’ advocate David Webb was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years before. He has since winded down his writing and activism. Now in face of imminent death, he anticipates it calmly with no regrets. In this BBC interview, he reflects on his life. I quote some of his interview
I'm glad that I did all the work I did for the public good
It is much better than to dying a rich man without having made any contribution
I think anyone in my fortunate circumstance of not needing employment
having the financial security
to say what they think
and having the skill set and intelligence to do it
should do that
They should speak out and work on public projects
Those having the skills and intelligence, should apply them for public good. This is David Webb’s parting words.
