Sir, Hong Kong's achievements in the past are, generally

speaking, something we should be proud of. Can it really serve the interest of the community by railing at Hong Kong and ridiculing

the Government as lame-duck? In order to keep Hong Kong a good

place to live in and to help most of the Hong Kong people face the

hin. future with a positive attitude, we have to follow on Lydia DUNN's

proposal to come together as a community and make concerted efforts

to do something practical for Hong Kong. Dwelling endlessly over

one or two points cannot help matters and instead, may lead to

adverse effects that we would not want to see. In order to

maintain stability and prosperity in Hong Kong during the

transition period and to implement the Sino-British Joint

Declaration, as well as for the future and well-being of the

majority of Hong Kong people who will stay in Hong Kong after 1997,

hon. I hope that all sectors of the community will respond to Hen, Lydia & DUNN's appeal and come together to make concerted efforts in doing

something for Hong Kong that can achieve practical results.

Sir, I am certain that the various proposals contained in.

the White Paper are announced after careful consideration.

Generally speaking, they are practical and progressive. On clear

conscience, the people of Hong Kong should be able to accept them.

Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
