85% attendees of Carrie Lam’s consultation forum are pre-selected by government, only 1 opinion against current policies
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam attended a public consultation forum for her policy address on Sunday, 22 Aug, 2021.
28 attendees spoke during the session, but only one spoke clearly against the government current policies. 90 (84.9%) among the 106 attendees were invited by the government, authorities admitted after the forum.
Those 90 attendees were invited by Home Office in the name of ‘districts individuals’, another 16 were randomly sampled by The Lingnan University, the government’s Policy Innovation and Co-ordination Office said.
By inviting districts individuals, ‘citizens with good understanding in district matters’ could raise opinion to the Chief Executive directly, it also helps including the sound from ethnic minorities, the government explained.

【九成人都係受邀】
政府昨（22 日）舉行首場施政報告諮詢會，有 106 人出席，包括由大學「隨機抽樣」，以及受政府邀請的「十八區人士」，結果抽中發言的 28 人當中，近半有建制背景，只有 1 人發言時反對政府政策。
政策創新與統籌辦事處回覆查詢時指，在昨日出席的 106 人中，只有 16 個是隨機抽樣的市民，另外 90 人都是獲邀十八區人士。
政府解釋，地區人士出席諮詢會可以讓「熟悉地區事務」的「市民」，有機會直接向行政長官提供意見，亦可以涵蓋隨機抽樣較難選中的人例如少數族裔。
