Governor: No.
Question: Some candidates for the post of Chief Executive have emphasised that there is a need to reach consensus with China rather than to take a confrontational stance. Do you think that is the right way forward for Hong Kong after 1997?
Governor: I think it is always better if you can proceed on the basis of agreement but sometimes you have to stand up for your principles. And of course co-operation isn't a one-way street. Co-operation involves an effort by both sides to reach agreement. You can't define co-operation in terms of only one side ever being required to reach agreement.
Question: Do you think the CS is the most suitable candidate when compared with the four candidates?
Governor: You know very well that while it is an interesting question, I certainly wouldn't answer it.

Employment exhibition to stage in Tsuen Wan
The Labour Department will stage an employment exhibition - Employment Information Post - on Wednesday (October 30) in Tsuen Wan Town Hall to help job seekers to find jobs and assist employers to recruit suitable staff.
A total of 17 employers from different trades including manufacturing, catering, department store, hotel, retail, property management, telecommunications and transportation will participate in the exhibition and provide more than 1,000 vacancies for job seekers.
They will brief job seekers on the job requirements of their vacancies and can arrange job interviews on the spot or on a later date.
Five retraining institutes under the Employees Retraining Scheme will also be present to provide job seekers with the latest information on retraining courses. Job seekers who are interested in the courses can submit applications at the venue.
