PROVISIONAL URBAN COUNCIL
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):-Wait a minute. This is...
619
Mr. Lam MAN-FAI (in Cantonese):-If you have any queries about what I said, you should raise them when I have finished. You have no reasons to chip in while I am speaking. Mr. Chairman, if he keeps on interrupting, I will not be able to carry on with my speech.
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):-Let me speak first. According to the Standing Orders, please be quiet when the Chairman stands up. I want you to calm down. Even if there are misunderstandings, misapprehensions or inaccuracies in facts, as I have said earlier, Members will have the right to speak later. The mover of the original motion will be given the chance to correct and should not interrupt in the middle of others' speeches. Let him (Mr. Lam Man-fai) speak in one breath. It will be better for the meeting to go on this way. If everybody is jumping in, then it will be very difficult for me as Chairman and the meeting will be prolonged. So I hope you can cooperate. If there are inaccuracies in facts or misunderstandings of opinions, you can speak later to make corrections. Particularly, the mover of the original motion will be given a chance to respond at the end of the debate. So please cooperate and do not stand up to speak on this issue. Will the mover of the amended motion please go on.
MR. SUEN Kai-cheong (in Cantonese):-Mr. Chairman, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) feels very regretful about what happened and also about the interruption of others' speeches by the Democratic Party. The DAB declare that they will walk out. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):-Does it mean that you are withdrawing your amended motion? You (Mr. LAM Man-fai) are also a DAB member.
MR. LAM MAN-FAI (in Cantonese):-I will stay here. My friends, please withdraw from the floor for the time being. They will later come back for the vote. Unlike the Democratic Party, we will not leave when it is time to vote. I will continue to fight here, side by side with Vice-Chairman Mr. Ip Kwok-chung.
CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese):-You don't have to take such an action. Please continue.
MR. Lam Man-fai (in Cantonese):-The Hall of Fame is different from the memorial gallery for Mr. Bruce LEE, who had already established international status. Since we have not decided which artists are to be honoured in the Hall of Fame, I propose that apart from film workers, we might as well consider singers, Cantonese opera singers and even playwrights. For instance,
