A Chinese public official has been
sacked after he was pictured ordering an employee to carrying through a
flood to avoid getting his shoes wet.
Wang
Junhua was visiting an area where two young people had died as a result
of recent flooding, when he ordered his subordinate carry him after
realising the sodden ground would ruin his cream leather shoes.
Mr
Wang, the deputy director of the government office of Guixi city,
Jiangxi province, has now been removed from his position, authorities
confirmed.
According
to local media Mr Wang was visiting the site where two students
drowned, and had not bothered to wear appropriate footwear.
Instead
he had selected cream coloured leather shoes, and instead of getting
them wet, he had employee Ding Xianbao give him a piggyback.
Hu
Peng, a local who witnessed the incident, said: ‘The guy looked
arrogant and bored.
'It was clear that he came to the site in order to
score some cheap publicity points. But when he saw that he might have
to get his feet wet his real personality surfaced
‘He
ordered this guy to hoist him on his shoulders and he rode him like he
was a donkey. I felt sorry for the guy - he was humiliated.’
