MR LIU SUGGESTED THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD ALSO CONDUCT A STUDY THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL WITH VARIOUS ORGANISATIONS CONCERNED ON THE SETTING UP OF A COMMITTEE OR AN AD HOC GROUP TO PROVIDE A BRIDGE FOR EFFECTIVE EXCHANGE OF PUBLIC OPINION AND INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT.
HE SAID HE BELIEVED BY DOING SO A UNANIMOUS VIEW WHICH WAS COMPREHENSIVE AND PRACTICAL COULD BE ARRIVED AT AFTER COMPLETE INFORMATION ON THE WHOLE ISSUE WAS MADE CLEAR TO ALL.
IN HANDLING THE WHOLE ISSUE, MR LIU ADVISED THAT HONG KONG SHOULD ADOPT AN OBJECTIVE APPROACH IN ORDER TO RESPOND AND MAKE A DECISION REASONABLY FROM A SCIENTIFIC POINT OF VIEW.
HE SAID: +WE SHOULD NOT HAVE OVERDUE FEARS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE RECENT CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT AND OBJECT STRONGLY TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.+
TURNING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION, HE SAID THE GUANGDONG NUCLEAR POWER JOINT VENTURE COMPANY SHOULD SPARE NO EFFORT IN PUBLICISING AND EXPLAINING HONESTLY AND CLEARLY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THEIR MANAGEMENT SKILLS WHICH WERE THE FOCUS OF WORRIES.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT SHOULD ALSO TAKE CORRESPONDING MEASURES WITH REGARD TO EDUCATION ON NUCLEAR POWER SO THAT THE PUBLIC MIGHT UNDERSTAND THE FACILITIES, MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED IN NUCLEAR-GENERATED ELECTRICITY.
MR LIU SAID HE STRONGLY BELIEVED THAT THIS WOULD SUBSTANTIALLY ASSIST IN RESOLVING THE WHOLE ISSUE.
FINALLY, HE SAID HE HOPED THE GOVERNMENT WOULD TAKE REMEDIAL ACTIONS TO RELIEVE THE PUBLIC OF THEIR WORRIES AND FEAR.

HOWEVER, MR NGAI SAID HE STILL HAD CERTAIN RESERVATIONS REGARDING A SERIES OF PROBLEMS ON THE PROJECT.
