Why not make passports conditional on staying put a 1997?

Post-dating passports would undermine objective of the scheme.

- In the circumstances which Hong Kong now faces, particularly

following the events of last summer, the value of a passport which

only became valid after a certain number of years or in 1997 would

be much diminished in the eyes of recipients. Most of them would

not regard such a passport as a sufficiently strong assurance to

remain in Hong Kong.
