Remarks by SCMA at media session (with photo/video)
***************************************************
Reporter: We would like to ask about the arrangement for election forums. In the previous elections, the government has not spelled out the structures and arrangements of each forum. But why would the government have such an arrangement this time, and why do you ditch the arrangement for the candidates to questioning each other? Thank you.
Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs: We have stressed once and again that the government attaches great importance to the successful conduct of the LegCo election. For this time, we would like to organise and conduct the election forum so as to let our citizens and our voters to have a better understanding of the election platforms and also the beliefs of candidates, so that they can consider how to make that choice in voting.
So this time, in terms of the scale, in terms of the organisation, that we trusted the government to organise such an election forum would be better. We decided to make the arrangement to organise the election forum this time. Thank you.
