Last update date: 2020-04-28 18:01Rong Haien, a member of the New Democratic Party Legislative Council, moved to the Legislative Council ’s Education Committee last year to set up a subcommittee to study the compilation of textbooks and textbooks for kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and to monitor the compilation of the textbooks. The committee held its first meeting today (28th), and street worker Liang Yaozhong chaired the election of chairman and vice-chairman.
Due to the concerns of the Democrats, the relevant committees will be dominated by the establishment, which will make the teaching materials more biased and become political censorship. During the meeting, several democratic factions made speeches, and finally the meeting failed to elect the chairman and vice-chairmen. The formed faction criticized the democratic faction for deliberately pulling.

Zhang Guojun questioned the hosting ability Liang Yaozhong denounced disrespect
The group is called "Research Subcommittee on Preparing Textbooks and Teaching Materials for Kindergartens, Primary and Secondary Schools". The meeting started at 4:30 in the afternoon and was only half an hour. At the beginning, Liang Yaozhong asked the committee members whether the nominee needed to publish a political platform. Mao Mengjing thought it was necessary, but also questioned the inappropriateness of the committee's name. Ye Liu Shuyi questioned that related issues had already been discussed in the Education Panel. The Federation of Trade Unions He Qiming said that the name can be discussed after the chairman is elected. However, Liang Yaozhong said that after the election of the chairman, the name could not be changed.
At this time, Zhang Guojun of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong questioned Liang Yaozhong's ability to host "I am surprised by your hosting experience", and asked him to "do what you want to do when you return to the host." Liang Yaozhong rebuked Zhang Guojun for not respecting others, and said, "Do not make you teach me to preside."
Afterwards, Zhang Chaoxiong and Chen Shuzhuang both pointed out that the committee's powers cover a wide range and agreed that the candidate for the chairman should show the work plan and ambitions. People's Power Chen Zhiquan questioned how the committee collected teaching materials, whether it had the power of investigation and summons, etc., and asked the legal adviser to explain.

Waited 14 minutes for the legal counsel
Since the legal counsel was not present, Liang Yaozhong announced the suspension of the meeting for 5 minutes at 4:42. However, until 4:50, the legal adviser was still not present. Liang Yaozhong said that the meeting was suspended until the legal adviser was present.
The legal adviser was present at 4:56 to explain to Chen Zhiquan that, in accordance with the Legislative Council ’s Powers and Privileges Ordinance, in addition to standing committees, if other sub-groups need to empower them to order witnesses to attend, special authorization from the Legislative Council Assembly is required. After the dialogue between the two, Liang Yaozhong stated that the Japanese meeting was only until 5 pm, and it was already 5:02 at that time, and announced that the Japanese meeting was over.

Institutional faction: The opposition has hindered Liang Yaozhong: past practice
After meeting with the media, the New Democracy Party Rong Hain criticized the entire parliament for being pulled behind by the democrats, regardless of the well-being of children and parents. She pointed out that there are many loopholes in the textbooks and teaching materials of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and it is necessary to study whether there is room for improvement in the Legislative Council. She hopes that the sub-committee will elect the chairman and deputy chairman as soon as possible to give parents and children room for safety education.
The New Democratic Party Chairman Ye Shuyi said that Mr. Pan Min deliberately borrowed words to simplify the simple issue, causing today to waste half an hour of meeting time and unable to elect the chairman and vice-chairman.
At the meeting, Zhang Guojun, who was tit-for-tat against Liang Yaozhong, pointed out that this group meeting once again confirmed that the Legislative Council wasted and was spread to the working group from within. He pointed out that he had expressed his confidence in Liang as a member of parliament during the meeting, and the results proved that he was not aimless.
Liang Yaozhong responded by saying that he did not understand what some members meant by referring to him as "rab", because it was a practice in the past to attend the members ’questioning of the candidate ’s platform. The legal point of view of the members’ questions is also relevant and very important. I don't understand why some people say it is off topic.
