Nuclear plant at Daya Bay

and comment.

There continues to be a lot of public discussion

However, attention has turned to the role

being played by school teachers in the signature campaign'

opposing the nuclear plant. Some parents of pupils of

the Tang Shiu Kin Primary School complained at being

scouted by their children for refusing to sign in the

campaign. DB member SIT Ho-yin also complained that his

son and daughter who are at the Primary School

in Kowloon are also under pressure to obtain signatures

from their parents. An MAC chairman in Butterfly Bay

said that the Yan Tak Filmery Enhool is also involved.

An MAC chairman who is a primary school teacher reported

that some primary pupils are being asked to sign in the

signature campaign themoolves. There have been some

complaints to this office and the Education Department

about the affair. DB member NG Ming-yum has spoken out

against the signature campaign and considers it unjustified.

He felt that matters like the nuclear plant should be

debated among experts and not among the uninformed public.

NG still objects to the siting of the plant at Daya Bay

and wondered whether Hong Kong people might donate money

to the Chinese Authorities to compensate them for moving

the plant to another site. One respondent thought that. the plant had been part of a deal which made part of

suture of Hong Kong.
