CY LEUNG POLICY ADDRESS 2015

Today CY Leung had his 3rd policy address - he tried in our opinion to put on a nice face & to be fair & just at least he is trying to do something. But with his loss of credibility after OCCUPY CENTRAL it seems to be very hard for him to step on some firm ground - anyhow here is the link to the full paper from gov dept.:
Just click here !

And here some specials out from foreign forces - in this case BBC news:

Hong Kong's CY Leung warns of 'anarchy' in policy speech

 
Angry scuffles broke out before CY Leung began his annual address, as John Sudworth reports
Hong Kong's leader CY Leung has said the need for economic growth outweighs calls for greater democracy, in his first annual policy address since last year's pro-democracy protests.
Mr Leung said Hong Kong would "degenerate into anarchy" if it gave in to demands for universal suffrage.
The speech was delayed as several pro-democracy members staged a protest in the legislature urging him to resign.
Hong Kong's pro-democracy street protests came to an end in December.
In the opening remarks of his speech to the legislative council, which was also posted online, Mr Leung said Hong Kong had to make a choice between "implementing universal suffrage and a standstill" in the economy.
He said he recognised the aspirations of the mostly student protesters who had paralysed parts of Hong Kong for more than two months last year calling for universal suffrage.
But he said they did not fully understand Hong Kong's laws, and that the territory had never been promised total political autonomy.

The reforms to take place in 2017 - under which people will be able to vote directly for the chief executive but from a list of candidates approved by Beijing - were "a big step forward for Hong Kong's democratic development".
"As we pursue democracy, we should act in accordance with the law, or Hong Kong will degenerate into anarchy," he warned.
He also promised to generate more affordable housing in Hong Kong - a major issue in the wealthy but small territory - by announcing a new subsidised housing scheme.

Analysis: John Sudworth, BBC News, Shanghai
Another day and another angry exchange - business as usual then in the acrimonious realm of Hong Kong politics.
On one side, the yellow umbrellas came out in protest, and on the other, Hong Kong's chief executive repeated his mantra; China is sovereign, the constitution is clear, there can be no public nomination of election candidates. But, he suggested, democratic reform on these terms is surely better than none at all.
The trouble is, simply dismissing his opponents as people who fail to "properly understand" the rules is not a strategy that has so far helped lift his dismal approval rating. His pan-democrats know what the basic law says about the role of the nominating committee through which Beijing exercises its veto over who can stand. They just don't like it.
There's has never really been an argument about the technicalities of the constitution, but rather, it is one about a deep political aspiration. In his annual address today, Hong Kong's chief executive once again dismissed that aspiration as futile.

Mr Leung's speech was delayed by several minutes after members of the pan-democratic bloc walked through the Legislative Council waving yellow umbrellas - a symbol of the protest movement - and banners calling for universal suffrage and for Mr Leung to resign.
Pro-democracy members Raymond Chan and Albert Chan were removed from the chamber by security guards, while about 20 others walked out.
One legislator, Albert Ho, said Mr Leung was "simply acting as a messenger for the Beijing government and Beijing authority" and not in the interests of Hong Kong's people.
China's government has said that while there will be a free vote for the leadership in 2017, there should only be two to three candidates, chosen by a pro-Beijing committee.
Last year's protesters wanted full democracy and for Mr Leung - who was himself elected by a committee of 1,200 people - to resign, but he repeatedly refused.
While tens of thousands of people took part in the initial demonstrations which paralysed parts of central Hong Kong, numbers had fallen to a few hundred - mostly students - by the time police and bailiffs dismantled the last camps in mid-December.

HONG KONG PRIMARY 1 SCHOOLS ADMISSIONS

On last Saturday the results of the LUCKY DRAW for POA admissions (government aided schools) have been released. Itwas the most worst result within 10 years: Only 72% applications got admitted to one of the 3 preferred schools. Our son was very lucky - almost like winning the Mark 6: He got a place in a nearby school 5 minutes walking from home. No getting up at 6.30 am to have a 1.5 hours school bus drive one way & same on the way home. We registered him today. The school has only one class per year - they have a big garden to teach the children gardening & planting vegetables. It looked like a little paradise to me compared with some of the schools located in Shamshuipo, Tok Wa Wan or Shatin. Besides this we still participated in the game for 2nd phase application of some DSS schools. Totally absurd: One school still having more than 900 applications for 2nd phase interviews...maybe just 60 seats left: They are looking for LITTLE EINSTEINS ? How much of this procedures is really for the kids and the parents or is it only for the school to polish their reputation ? We got the best of the best of Hong Kong children in our classes ! Some parents also jumping on that kind of "train". Question: Is this what your kid needs to start their school life - far away not. They are kids - not "robots". I visited CY Leungs home page & submitted a letter about this procedures to him - unfortunately I cannot tell if my submission was successful, because after pressing the submit button there was no reply like "submitted" or "thank you for your message". Something wrong on that page ? Here is the link, write something to CY Leung - lets see if it gets through:

TVB 17.04 12 LATE NIGHT - PREGNANT MAINLAND WOMEN

Here some more about THAT TOPIC: I would suggest to throw them all out including that lousy middlemen making a fortune in bringing that egg - women over here.
But the today news already having a litte bit different view on CY Leung's idea; He has not the saying yest - so he can only change once in power. Besides this surely all the private hospitals complaining heavily about that ZERO QUOTA.
OUT NOW - the earlier - the better !
One more question is about the service in mainland hospitals for birth giving women:
It seems to be that bad - isnt it ?
Have you ever been to a local chinese hospital ? You will wish never getting seriously sick.

News from TVB late night .....

2x news here:

1) CY Leung suggests to put the quota for giving birth in private hospitals for MAINLAND PREGNANT WOMAN to ZERO next year. Good idea Mr CY Leung. Lets see if you can handle that against the massive commercial interest of the PRIVATE HOSPITALS. It is noted here and gives you a new label called "CY Leung's promises". We will check on that later when you are "ruling".
2) Fire / Smoke at Lowu checkpoint that evening ...all was shut down ....hope you haven't been there. So here is some cutting from TVB late night news with this 2 topics - enjoy:
