The Express: All people who have some political knowledge know that recognising the Basic Law means recognising the communist constitution and system. Thus, it is understandable that
genuine supporters of the nationalist Government
have refused to participate in Basic Law consultation.
HKU lecturer Johannes Chan: A bill of rights should be included in the
Basic Law to avoid abuse of power by the administration.
Umelco member Maria Tam:
The Basic Law should not be debated formally at Legco but Legco members are free to discuss major issues such as the Basic Law in their personal capacity.
* BLDC member Liu
Yiu-chu: Political
reforms in HK during the transition should not be
implemented unless
approved by the BLDC.
Chief Secretary Sir David Akers-Jones: The Government will not forbid civil servants from sitting on the BLCC if they are invited.
Journalist Nick Griffin: He wants to sit on the BLCC so as to look after
the interest of journalists, to help
maintain stability and prosperity.
