40 per cent prefer an independent HIK
About 40 per cent of the general public, most of them young people, preferred HK to become independent. However, they agreed unanimously that it was impossible because HK is in lack of natural resources and is restricted by its geographic environment.
Executive director of HK Council of Social Services, Mr Hui Yin-fat, considered it natural for most people here not wishing HK to be taken back by China. HK people were used to comfortable and frec living style and would not accept the existing Chinese system.
Mr Hui also held that HK, which was belonged to China, would either be ruled by the UK or China and would not become independent.
He thought that better educated people would ask for more democracy, and that "a restricted democratic system" would be accepted by HK people.
Mr Hui finally called on the government to carry out district reform seriously and extend the scope of district administration to cover housing and medical.
