Carrie Lam administration scorning the elected councils will be not be forgotten by Hong Kong citizens

(12 May) Hong Kong Chief Executive (CE) Carrie Lam, won the CE election with the Election Committee members only represent around 0.03 percent of the population, was interviewed by Takunpao, a Chinese state-owned and controlled media, and accused the newly elected district councils of having no contribution after being in office term for 6 months, and supported the government officials to dismiss or leave the meetings to boycott the councils. Coincidentally, just one day before this article was published, Casper Tsui Ying Wai, the newly appointed leader or the Home Affairs Bureau, said “The District council is a playground”, and as long as everybody plays by the rule, it will be great fun. The head of the administrative government, publicly disregarded the council, disrespect and challenged the citizen-empowered councillors. This is to pour scorn on the councils, insult the dignity of the councillors, and to eradicate the society’s effort in the success of fighting the virus.

//From January 2020 until today, the Central and Western District council along with other councillors, have discussed and had over 70 discussion papers. And among the discussions, many were about livelihood of the citizens,

//other district councils, under the lack of competence of the government in combatting virus, deployed power and resources, to procure medical supplies, such as face masks, hand sanitisers, bleach, etc.

//Hong Kong government suppressed the council by refusing to provide any venue and secretarial service, and upheld the power under District Councils Ordinance but the council organised meetings on discussion anti-pandemic measures.

//The success of the anti-pandamic measures, was attributed to the civil actions and contributions. She took all the pride of success, and obliviated her inaction
