The Legislative Council election was held this Sunday (19th). The DAB sent a registered social worker Zhu Liling to the social welfare sector to forcefully challenge the "non-organizational" new thinking chairman Di Zhiyuan.
Zhu Liling met with reporters on the day she signed up for the election. She was asked about her advantages over Di Zhiyuan. She was suspected that she could not answer the question because she lost her voice twice, and she had to be answered by her party members.
In an interview with "Hong Kong 01", Chu Lai Ling talked about the incident. She frankly said that she rarely faced the media in the past and did not know the distance of the "Midou" and the radio situation. So when she answered the question, she "said so loudly", which eventually led to "Shao Shao lost her voice." Frankly: "The first time I faced the media, some of them didn't make any mistakes. The whole process was so frank, it was hard to learn."
Zhu Liling said that she is not a good speaker, and has been focusing on handling practical matters and doing everything by herself, hoping to be recognized by the voters.
