Kong can achieve that, but only until then, I would say that a sound foundation will have been laid down for direct election to the Legislative Council. I am hopeful that we can achieve this goal by 1988.
Sir, It is important that we strive to keep what we have achieved over the past years and to maintain the momentum of the system. Any changes to our present system must be such that our foundations should not be shaken.
Before I finish, I should perhaps clarify, for the records, that the turnout in the last elections, particularly in respect of District Boards, might not have been achieved without the encouragement and hard work of CNTA officials and the participation of concerned citizens. In that context, the last elections are successful and the Secretary for District Administration and his staff should be commended for the good work. I sincerely hope that better results could be achieved in the 1985 Election, and I urge all eligible voters to come forth and register, if they have not done so, and to cast their
votes when the time comes.
With these remarks, I support the motion.
