Oh everything not pro-Anson must be pro-PRC, what a great logic.

With this kind of logic, the Americans voted Bush (33% Approval rating according to Washington Post) and TWese voted Ah Bien (below 20% according to interview from Wall Street Jounral).  Obviously they are regretting it now but cannot do anything to impeach him or correct their mistakes.

This is why Democracy won't work in Hong Kong anytime soon, with people have been misled to believe democracy is the only way to go and refused to search for alternatives or make compromises.  More importantly, those supporters who turned a blind eye on Hong Kong's past achievements and their unsustainable lives without PRC's support (even before the reunification).  Hong Kong desperately needs China, not the other way around, without PRC's constant help, Hong Kong would not be the same city as of right now.

I despise all those dirty tricks Yip's supporters had resort to do in recent days.  They deserved to be the loser if they cannot fight cleanly, but who knows where are all these sms msgs are coming from?

Revealing Anson's hypocrisy and past scandals are fine (because it proves her credibility as a politician) but spreading lies to misled voters is just plain wrong.

Zoids, as far as the by-election is concerned, Apple Daily is pro-Anson. Ming Pao pretends to remain netural when in fact many of their articles and columns side with Yip Lau. And then you have Sing T ...


If you try to state your own opinion as fact, please provide proofs.  Newspaper might not be perfectly neutral (who can define neutral to start with) because readers themselves usually read it with biased mindset already.  That's why your point there is not valid at all.  I just see you throwing out accusations without any proof to back it up.

I used the US and TW for examples because US is considered the land of freedom, democracy, human rights, world police, etc.  That's why it's normal to bring US up for example.  Martin Lee didn't go to other country when he wanted foreign power to intervene China's internal policy.  I used TW because TW is the closest democratic model around China, with very similar cultural values too.

HK is not ready for democracy due to internal and external factors, for one of the internal factors, as you agreed, "a large number of HK people are too short-sighted and have no political ideals at all".  For one of the external factors, it is because HK must relies on PRC to have a sustainable economy and living style, therefore unless the PRC finally decides to let HK have democracy, HK is not ready to have democracy.

However, I think most people are just being misled to only concentrate their focus on the democracy issue to create political value for the opposing parties.  Not having universal suffrage does not mean HK ppl do not have any freedom.  At the end of the day, it's the freedom that really matters.  HK has been ranked the 58th country on 2007 Pree Freedom list by Reporters without Borders, just 2 countries behind USA.  Considered most other countries above HK in the list are western developed countries, and PRC itself is ranked pretty much dead last (163 of 168), HK citizens has pretty much any kind of freedoms as the west except universal suffrage.  It is not hard to see universal suffrage is not permitted simply because it is closely linked with sovereignty issue, and we all know PRC will not bulge an inch on this matter.  HK as of now is already enjoying highest level of autonomy in PRC (Ranked 1st in the eocnomic freedom list by The Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal), further asking universal suffrage is simply too much for the current PRC right now.  HK citizens should understand that and be reasonable, instead of chasing the perfect ideal political system they were misled to believe.  The history has shown HK successfully defended their freedom in 2003 by protesting.  HK citizens should know there is limit to everything and should not ask for more unreasonably.  I personally think status quo is the best option right now.

王岸然 keeps slamming Anson every single day:
http://wongonyin.mysinablog.com/

李慧玲 slammed Anson for the 100% mortgage thing for the whole week:
http://pshweb01.881903.com/framework/pccs.gateway?u ...


I don't think 王岸然 is slamming Anson without reason.  The whole point of the "mortgage door" incident is exactly what he stated, "法律,是有客觀標準的,不會為個人主觀意志所轉移。一眾泛民小政客包括曾經被誤會為會為法律公義而戰的大狀議員,一個二個為政治利益而變臉,一句抹黑就將解釋的責任推得一乾二淨。法律對這些人物而言,只是律人嚴而律己寬的政治工具,也不應太過意外。"  As far as I know, Anson still haven't provide enough proof on the issue to clean herself up.  Remember I brought up the point that her background is not as clean as the media/politicians portrayed before?  No matter what reason is it, a rule is a rule and everyone should be treated equally.  When the gov't enforce the 70% mortgage rule back in the 90s, the bank you have only gave her 70% maximum.  Remember why we had the 70% mortgage rule at that time?  It is to discourage overheating property investment.  Either way, Anson was corrupted with greed.  She used her high position in the gov't to get around the rule for her SELF INTEREST.  There is no difference as Leung Gum Chong bought his new Lexus given that he knows the tax will be increased.  You and the self called "pro-democracy" ppl distracted the issue by claiming it is throwing mud.  No, this is not throwing mud.  This is called holding Anson credible to what she have done.  On the other hand, what ppl found fault with Reginia Yip was just because she was helping gov't to promote an unpopular law.  Let me say this again, it WAS her RESPONSIBILITY to do that AS A CIVIL SERVANT IN HER THAT PARTICULAR POSITION.  All these should not harm Reginia's credibility as a politician.

It is clearly stated that "The term of office of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be five years" in the Article 46 of the Basic Law.  Traum, again you need to learn more about politics before you are throwing out accusations.  Just like many presidents in other countries, Chief Executive can only be in the office for a limited time.  Therefore the voters still can kick Chief Executive out if they want.  You really need to stop this dirt smearing.

No, even they practiced democracy, it won't make the citizen smarter.  If your point was valid, Chen Shui Bian won't be elected again after the first 4 years of bad governance, so is GW Bush.  Did you even remember all those crazy scandal involved in those elections?  Democracy is just an illusion to "majority rules", it is not about what's right or wrong.  It is about who can deceive the most people.  It is just a bunch of liars doing their lip service about a year before the election.

It's true that citizens were pushed to disparity in 2003, but you also need to understand they cannot blame everything to the HKSAR gov't.  HKSAR didn't spread SARS, didn't brought Avian Flu to themsevles, everyone was pissed due to so many unfortunate incidents happened in such a short time and the economy plummeted as normal.  The HKSAR gov't was not wise to promote such unpopular law at that moment, and they suffered the consequence already.  Tung and Reginia resigned.  PRC did not dare to bring it up again in near future.

Finally, you were dead wrong to associate democracy with freedom.  Again, I have stated this issue before, it all boils down to what kind of freedom you want.  Do you agree everyone should have gun ownership freedom?  When people say speech/religion freedom, should people allowed to spread racist messages or cult messages?  Democracy is just one kind of freedom, stop exergeratting it to involve everything.  People who truly understand freedom and democracy will not misled by your false claims.

I am so disappointed at your false accusation again.  I just cannot stand no one here dare to counter your fallacy point by point, I would not even want to spend so much time pointing out where you were wrong.  I was just hoping other LYK can see the other side of the argument instead of being brainwashed by your constantly baseless Hong Kong gov't bashing.

Don't put all the blame to Reginia Yip just because she was involved in the by-election and future election.  2003 protest was caused by a combination of factors, not just Reginia Yip's promotion of Article 23 alone.  You should be shamed for your own closed-minded hatred toward a diligent civil servant and your selective memories.  The more you post, the more it proves HK citizens do not have the open-mindset to choose a right candidate in a democracy system.

For the case of GW Bush, I don't think it is nothing wrong for he got elected.  You don't like him.  This doesn't mean US people don't like him.  I don't trust those biasd polls.

One of the reasons for Tung forced to resign probably was Jiang Zemin's resignation from Chairman of the Central Military Commission.  Otherwise, Tung might be able to finish 10 years term.

Regina resigned not because of 500K protest on July 1st.  Before July 1st, even 1470's 張無忌 said that Regina's friends knew that Regina planned to go to US with her daughter already.  Don't be too naive that Chinese Communist Party would really care what HK citizens' needs.

You know, Anson Chan is a respectful person, and therefore she has to come clean about her shady business dealings. Every buyer, no matter how rich, has to follow the mortgage rules set by the HK Monetary Authority. In particular, HK's real estate prices became a bubble during her tenure pre-1997. A person with shady pasts is untrustworthy and should be removed from office.

You asked what does Anson's 100% mortgage incident amount to? It amounts to preferential treatment and even violation of laws. Don't you understand, you smartie?

As for Yip Lau, she has not committed any crimes. She was just carrying out government policies. At least, she is consistent with her past position, instead of 除了忽然民主,更是忽然民生.

The Article 23 is just securities laws. Even the US and other western countries have these laws to protect them from terrorists attacks. HK people who protested were misled by those anti-Hong Kong smarties. So why shouldn't HK have these laws?

原帖由 Traum 於 2007-12-5 22:55 發表
Zoids, thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I do not agree with any of your points at all.

Well, lemme ask you this -- between Anson's 100% mortgage thing and Yip Lau's Article 23 bad record, which ...


Certainly Anson's 100% mortgage hurt her credibility more than Regina Yip trying to fulfill what her responsibility as Secretary of Security.  You can find fault on her unwise approach, but you cannot fault her on her credibility.  You are obviously blinded by your strong self-claimed "democracy" position to think everyone not agreeing you are anti-democracy.

2nd, that's what exactly I was talking about on the TW issue.  Chen Shui Bian used dirty tricks to scare ppl like you who cannot think critically to vote for him.  Case closed.  You are acting exactly like one of those pan-green supporters.

About the SARS, do you know what you were talking about?  Blaming officials for wide spread?  Do you know it is PRC that hid the fact about the outbreak, so HK officials and doctors are blindsided. HK and Singapore are the first 2 countries to announce compulsory quarantine and stopped school?  Do you have some common sense at all?  SARS is new so no one would have expected it to spread quickly and fatal, how many case the doctors need before they realize it's a dangerous disease?  I think gov't did a good job to quarantine ppl as soon as they realize the danger of it.

In theory, bird flu should not infect human being easily, it just happened that H5N1 is the first virus to adapt to human body.  The speech of Margaret Chan was made before more cases turned up, she was just saying what the past scientific report suggested.  People in the know did not fault her for that, they even credited her for killing all the chickens immediately although many ppl opposed.

Finally, PRC surely would want a tighter political grip, but does that mean Regina Yip is working for PRC?  No, read her platform again, it is very similar to Anson Chan's.  Both are eventually aiming for universal suffrage.  It seems that it is YOU who need to get your fact straight, lyk.

I don't like him because I know he is a lying piece of shit from the begining, and thank you for supporting my point.  In a democratic system, what one needs to win is just to deceive the most people compare to one's opponents.

For Tung's resignation, as little as we know about the truth, if you strongly believe it is due to Jiang's resignation, why didn't PRC fire Tung to earn more political points instead of letting him resign?  Especially if they do not trust Donald Tsang, why let the good old loyal guy quit?  If PRC really doesn't care about HK citizens, why let Donald Tsang be Chief Executive?  They can just hold another election similar to the 1996 one with all the candidates are pro-PRC.

OK, I admit I got it mixed up because Reginia Yip's resignation is very close to the 2003 protest so I take that back.  She resigned on June 25th, citing personal reason.  However, can you see it as some work done to cool down the anti-government atmosphere at least?  Some kind of compromises that rarely seen in PRC?  I think all these can be interpreted either way depends on what you want to believe.

Sorry, you got something wrong.  I am not for your point that "in a democratic system, what one needs to win is just to deceive the most people compare to one's opponents."

If central government fired Tung, then this would mean they picked the wrong person for HKSARS CEO even I believe Tung really got fired.  Letting Tung "resign" means that grandfather did not pick the wrong person.  Tung got fired probably because of politics inside communist party. Don't forget that the central government probably has never admitted that they did anything (including Cultural Revolution, Tienanmen massacre) wrong.  What grandfather did may be to stabilize their power and to "have face".  They picked Donald because none of the dogs can do a good job for reviving the economy.

Regina planned to go to US almost a year ago before the protest in 2003.  She would resign even she did not promote Article 23.

Hello? Do you know anything about conducting business at all? Why do frequent customers receive better service? Businesses are ALL about preferential treatment, and the bank is a business. Preferred customers are preferred customers becuase the business can make money off them. They know Anson and her family is fully capable for supporting that mortgage, so the bank did what they could within the law to lend as much money to Anson as possible. Had any laws been broken, do you really think the finance commission, the business / commerce investigation team, and the police would have left it alone during this past 12, 13 years?

In the end, it was a business decision. I see nothing wrong with it.

I agree Yip Lau was "just carrying out her duties", but that is precisely the problem. As a high ranking official of HK, do you just do whatever task Grandfather has given you? Or do you exercise your own judgement and consider whether the policy is best for HK, or whether it's best for Grandfather? As I have said numerous times before, we need people working in the interest of HK. We do not need puppets to carry out Grandfather's orders.

I am not even gonna bother arguing with you over Article 23. If Article 23 wasn't problematic, why did you think 500,000 people took things to the street back in 2003? Why did you think the CP 4-Big-Lawyers worked tirelessly to prevent the bill from passing? Are you even aware of the implications of how far Article 23 can extend?


You don't even have a clue of what you are talking about. Your pro-British attitude is clouding your judgement. If the HK Monetary Authority sets the rule of 70% mortgage, then the most preferential customers, no matter how rich, will get 70% at most. All the others will get even less than that. What people are suspecting now is that Anson Chan got preferential treatment because she was a high ranking officer.

Also, there are discrepancies between her clarifications back in 1995 and those she made more recently. This shows she has something to hide from the public. When is she going to come clean about her shady business dealings? HK does not  need a dishonest official.

Her character is also in doubt, since she is 除了忽然民主,更是忽然民生. The first day on the job after the election, she said some crap like "no democracy for HK, no prosperity for HK". As we all know there was no democracy under the British masters, and yet there was prosperity. As she was a high ranking officer under the British masters, she should have exercised her judgement and decided what was good for HK people. But she was such an obedient puppet to the British that she didn't have the courage to ask for democracy from the British.

As for Yip Lau, at least she is consistent with her past position. In order to protect HK from terrorist attacks, HK needs Article 23. Even the US and other western countries have these laws to protect them from terrorists attacks. But HK people didn't realize this. A lot of HK people who protested were misled by those pro-British puppets. Unless you do not want HK to have the ability of protecting itself from terrorists, why wouldn't you support it? Even the Americans are giving up some privacy for protection.

Did you mean to say that China is 人治 instead of 法治?

昨日 她 事奉英夷,一品當朝,位極人臣,回鄉祭祖,光耀門楣!可曾片言隻字,談 民主、道 民生?

今日 她 放下身段,落區求票,為民所選,議事堂上,得一席位!忽然一臉正氣,講 民主、論 民生!

人生無既定;變幻是永恆。信乎。

4 Gor,

One way to look at this is, at the time of the British rule, the overall atmosphere and awareness for a need to democracy was not as prevalent. Certainly there was our share of tireless fighte ...

明白你所言,但 老夫 絕不相信一個昨天是前殖民地高級技術官僚的人(即使在回歸初期尚未

「忍夠」辭職之前,仍是高級技術官僚),今天會忽然摇身一變而成為一個全心全意內外如一

的民主鬥士!

所以 老夫 認為香港的民主素求者可以說是"急病亂投醫",未免天真了一點。

除了忽然民主,更是忽然民生. We are not getting any contribution from a British puppet at all.
