Yes, it is. It is the standpoint stated in the general election. At that time he will the presidancy. Moreover, his speech only represent the Exco of PTU, and he endevour to make the standpoint of Exco as clear as possible. : I suggest PTU should consider a General Polling to vote : on the issue. In the Polling, our teachers may be : given the following choice: : [1] Support the idea of Provisional Legislature : [2] Oppose the idea of Provisional Legislature : [3] Teachers and PTU should not have an position on this matter : to maintain a neutral position. I think it is not responsible for PTU to hold neutral position here. The Legislature may change the fate of the Union indirectly. I am NOT ONLY oppose it BUT ALSO it is not moral. : Teachers are one important subgroup of the intellectual circle. : Our society also have a high expection on our teachers. : They should be given the chance to voice out. I think their voice is very clear. I think they trust these two people by the very high majority support. : This is even more important than Mr. SZETO and Mr. CHEUNG : attending the consultation meeting on the issue. (late news: : the chance to present their case has been, disappointing to most : people who really care about Hong Kong, shutdown) : Rgds, : LEE, Yui-wah (Clement) : Hong Kong : P.S. I am only half a teacher and is NOT member of PTU. : I do hope some members of PTU can relay my opinion : to the Ex-co of PTU. : P.S.2. Although I have listed out option [3], I personally : object this option. Teachers has to maintain : an OBJECTIVE position, for sure. But objective : is not equivalent to NEURAL. The case of : Provisional Legislature is a case about : law-and-order, about stability of transition, : about future of Hong Kong. I think teachers : should definitely give out their voices. : There are already too many people pointing : "deers" as "horses". I think our intellectual : should stand up and say something. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MAK Tin Ho (���ѻ�) CS Yr.3 email: cs_mth@dmc202, uststu, ug.cs (.ust.hk) If everything must have a cause, then God must have a cause.
