Tung Chee-hwa resigned as chief executive in March 2005, more than two years before his second term was scheduled to end, officially citing health reasons. His resignation followed several years of declining public support. In 2003 an estimated 500,000 people protested proposed national security legislation under Article 23 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law, and his government subsequently withdrew the bill.
