Issac Lam, chair of the elected SU of #CUHK, said they are "extremely disappointed" by the university's decision to disown the cabinet.

Elected deputy SU chair Sharie Ho said in a shaking voice that what the SU can do immediately is to issue a joint petition. "I hope CUHK students can show us some support, to show that we have the mandate and we did not do anything wrong," she said as tears welled up.
