HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL - 28 February 1990
香港立法局 一九九○年二月二十八日

direction. I urge the people of Hong Kong to actively participate in the elections and to come out and vote for the people who they believe should be the leaders of our community. I also urge those who are qualified to be voters to register so that they can vote on the election day. The people of Hong Kong must determine who they want in the future government and the only way to do this is to go to the polls and vote. I would be most disappointed if the 1991 election had a poor turn-out.
Finally, Sir, I had intended to comment on Mr. McGREGOR's motion. However, I have decided not to as I do not wish to influence the voting of my colleagues who have the freedom of choice to decide which motion they will support.
Sir, I beg to move.
Question on the motion proposed.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT: As the Council has agreed that Mr. LEE's motion be debated together with Mr. McGREGOR's motion, Members can now speak on either or both motions. At the end of the debate, we will vote on Mr. LEE's motion first. After the Council has voted on Mr. LEE's motion, I will call on Mr. McGREGOR to move his motion. We will then vote on it without further debate at that point. Mr. McGREGOR, are you rising on a point of order?
MR. MCGREGOR: Yes, Sir. On a point of order, I should be most grateful, Sir, if you could advise the Council whether there is no problem with voting for both motions.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT: Members of the Council are free to use their votes as they wish. It is up to them to decide whether or not it is a contradiction to vote for both motions.
張鑑泉議員致辭:
主席先生,未來香港特別行政區的基本法,經過四年零八個月的草擬及諮詢過程後,在爭議聲中 終於定下了藍圖。這是一個擺在眼前的事實。
回望過往幾年,本港主要的爭議論點都被政制問題牽引著,不少市民對各界推出的政治模式, 均有迷亂之感。不知何故,大家似乎陷入了這個一時難於自拔的數字遊戲裡,弄致糾纏不清, 時間像是迷失了方向。我相信到了大家冷靜以後,不禁會問句:「我們何故失去了理智的心?」
