*******************************

The following is the transcript (English portion) of a media session given by the Acting Chief Executive, Mrs Anson Chan, after the ExCo meeting this (Tuesday) morning.

Reporter: .... Miss Margaret Ng's revocation of visa please.

Mrs Chan: I want first of all to say that of course in Hong Kong we welcome different points of views on any matter. I can fully understand the community's concern over the visa problem concerning Margaret Ng. I am sure that when the Chief Executive returns to Hong Kong tonight, he will at the first opportunity pursue this case. First of all, we need to understand exactly what is happening, but I am sure the Chief Executive will take appropriate action on this occasion.
