TRUTH DAILY (30.3.71)
Objections to increases of water rates and the demand that Chinese should be made an official language are mere excuses for the planting of bombs. The bomb-planters are aiming at creating trouble and upsetting the social stability of Hong Kong.
If the activities of these "new leftists" are not checked, Hong Kong will not be able to enjoy peace.
On the other hand, Government should try harder in reaching the public. Before it makes any important decisions, it should find out about the people' possible reactions before-hand. The planting of bombs this times reflects failure on the part of Government's policy.
NEW LIFE EVENING POST (30.3.71)
The increasing bomb-planting cases reflect the meaninglessness of these activities and the complete lack of scruples of the bomb-planters.
In the beginning, bombs were directed against water rate increase, and they won the sympathy of certain people. But now, bombs are placed everywhere indiscriminately. When people are injured, what do the bomb- planters gain?
It seems that the act of bomb planting has absolutely no meaning except doing people harm and causing them inconvenience.
WAH KIU HAN PO (30,3.71)
We severely condemn the bomb-planters and would like to warn the law-breakers against taking advantage of the situation.
People object to increase of water rates but they object more to such dirty, cowardize and brutal acts of violence; people want to see Chinese made an official language, but what they want more is peace and security. The bomb-planters, no matter who they are and what their motives are, will be despised by the public.
It is needless to point out that these "bad elements" started the bomb incidents with an ulterior motive.
SING TAO MAN PO (30.3.71)
Alist the real and fake bombs, the general public are most concerned about the following questions:
1. Who conducted these horrifying activities?
2.
Did the slogans represent their real aims?
3. Did the leftists take part in these activities?
The series of recent activities in certain ways resemble those
of 1967. The Communist press so far has not mentioned one word about them, what does their silence signify?
