Chairman, he and You Rongyan.
Yang Yu also resigned as a district councilor on the same day. He said that working in Haili Village for more than 8 years is a wonderful page in his life. Although he wants to say goodbye to everyone, he will still work hard to find different positions and spaces to serve everyone.
Lai Zhiqiang hopes that Hong Kong people will guard their memories, "Remember that Hong Kong has low thresholds and no screening elections"
Li Zhiqiang, who has served as a district councillor since 1988, said that looking back at the elections that year, he believed that Hong Kong's democratic development could be promoted through regional work and representative government, and the hard-earned jewel of the Orient could be defended by a democratic system, but one country, two systems The promise of Hong Kong people to govern Hong Kong has been shattered, and the hope of being in politics at the time has failed. "Although the community has been standing for more than 30 years and has experienced a lot of wind and rain, the huge building will not be able to take care of itself alone. I can only bear the pain to end the years of hard work. Failed to complete the term, please everyone Forgive me, neighbors."
He hopes that in the future, Hong Kong people will guard each other’s memories, "Remember that Hong Kong has had decades of low-threshold nominations, no selection of candidates, and one-person, one-vote free-will vote and equal line up; it is your sacred ballot. , And achieved Li Zhiqiang's 9th re-election victory."
Yang Yu said that the Longmen government had no choice but to resign Yu Debao: It is a pity and helpless
Yang Yu said that public opinion was fully reflected in the 2019 District Council elections, with an unprecedented turnout rate of 71.23%. Hong Kong people are proud of this. However, the regime is afraid of public opinion and has to reverse the rules of the game and ignore Hong Kong’s effective system. The district councils that best reflect public opinion have been emptied, and the oath ordinance has been arbitrarily established. In recent days, it has been banned to kill all members. The members who failed to pass the oath have been recovered for their salary since they took office in January 2020. The amount of money is less than that. Millions.
He said that whether or not to pass the oath is the decision of the regime. "The Dragon Gate is left alone. Therefore, based on a risk assessment, Ah Yu has no choice but to resign. I hope the residents will understand and I hope everyone knows the instigator behind this matter."
Yu Debao, who has served as a district councillor for 9 years, also announced that he will resign as a district councillor. He feels regretful and helpless to end his career as a district councillor. "I don't know how much Hong Kong will change in the future, but we can foresee that the democrats are approaching sunset. I hope everyone will keep the temperature. Work hard in different positions and make the places you cherish more beautiful."
