Explosion in Liantang｜Chen Hengbin uploaded a document and criticized the importance of members' opinions and signature records

As soon as the Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Port opened, the parking lot was full. Legislative Council member Chen Hengpin posted a post on social networking site today (12th), pointing out that the current impending bombing situation reflects that when the government designed the port, it only believed in the consultant’s report and did not listen to it. Members' opinions have caused today's bad results.

He uploaded the meeting minutes of the Public Works Subcommittee in 2012, proving that he had questioned the 400 parking spaces for private cars at the port.

And what he did this time actually reflects the importance of signing the minutes of parliamentary meetings.

He uploaded the 2012 Legislative Council Public Works Subcommittee to discuss the meeting minutes of the construction of the Liantang/Xiang Yuen Wai Port, saying that he had already questioned the serious shortage of 400 parking spaces: "As a result, people are soft-spoken and the government does not listen. Please read the next document. Revisit the discussion of the day!" And the meeting minutes of that day clearly stated that although Chen Hengbin supported the project funding proposal for the construction of the port, he proposed that the port would be the first land port with direct access facilities for people and vehicles, and he was concerned that only 400 private car parking spaces were available. Is it enough.

At that time, another member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, Ye Guoqian, also echoed Chen Hangbin's concerns.

Importance of signing minutes of SEC meeting

This incident just proves the importance of signing the meeting minutes of the parliament, so that all walks of life can clearly know the position of the members.

However, the new term of the Legislative Council has changed the usual practice. The meeting minutes of some committees no longer record the speeches of members by name, but replace them with words such as "a member of parliament". Clips of meetings can be rewatched, inviting criticism.

The Legislative Council Secretariat replied that the preparation method has been optimized, and the key points of the speeches of the participants have been streamlined and summarized in order to facilitate the public, members of parliament and officials to more easily grasp the meeting process, as well as the discussion points and responses of the agenda items.

However, the response did not address the reasons for not listing the names of the MPs.

Li Zijing advocates that only reserved vehicles can use the Heung Yuen Wai Port

In addition, Li Zijing, a member of the Legislative Council of the New Democratic Party, also responded to the fact that the parking lot at the Liantang Port was completely full on the first weekend after it was opened, and there was a chaotic situation between reserved and non-reserved car owners competing for seats. After looking for land to build a parking lot, today the Transport Department should fully adopt the reservation system and cancel the "two ditches"; and the Transport Department should strengthen the daily direct bus service from the port to Kowloon to facilitate the use of tourists and local residents.
