However, he said that some might think that the president in Legco You God and should not be touched.

Sing Pao noted that Legislative Councillors had gradually come to a consensus on the Daya Bay issue. They all hoped that the Government would release more information, particularly on the cost of buying electricity from Daya Bay and the future power cariff structure, and on contingency plans.
