Opinions at extremes …

Surveyed some IT voters. Here sampled two typical answers from voters about the need, or otherwise, of “democracy” in HK.
1. HK is under the rule of China. We need a Chief Executive who is able to bridge between China and HK, win the trust of the Chinese government, strategically position HK to integrate into our [...]

Interesting Observations

Although the election is over, I would love to share with you some interesting observations about the election.
1. As far as I know, there is none candidate stating clearly that he/she will nominate Donald Tsang as a candidate for the next Chief Executive in their platform. At least not for the IT sector.
2. But there [...]

The Poll Result

Before I fall to bed after a 28-hour episode, I am so excited to share with you that IT voters empowered us to fight for a Contested CE Election, true democracy and universal suffrage by casting their vote for us. Their voice is so loud that they put all of us to the upper half [...]

Thank You For Voting!!

We are very excited to learn that the turnout rate was about 45%, the highest ever for the IT sub-sector. No matter you vote for us or not, thank you for voicing out your preference!!
We are right now at the poll counting center at HKCEC, and are very glad to learn that about half of [...]

Visiting IT Companies

It was a pleasurable experience to visit 6 IT companies at Cyberport today. Met some old folks who were on business contact with me before and never had the chance to discuss about this political issue that well affects the long term well being of HK and our next generations. This is a chance to [...]

The process matters more than the result …

Two mornings at Quarry Bay MTR …
Some of them didn’t smile … why? The polluted air by transport exhausts …
Democracy needs participation. We made our commitment. We did our part. We are just somebody in the IT industry hoping to represent a portion of the view, no matter how big that portion is. Approve us [...]

—————————————————————————你好！
附上第一份政綱，希望可幫助你瞭解我們的立場。
第一重點是有競爭的選舉，不要似Tung’s 2nd election 和Donald’s補選般唱獨腳戲，無辯論、無比較，敷衍交貨。所以一定提名Donald的對手。至於是否Alan Leong要看還有沒有第三競爭者。考慮會有多重— —如他的當選機會、民主立場、政治理念、能力，及對IT的重視。
提名Donald對手，不等如投票不投Donald。有了競爭，倘Donald能拿出好政綱、好政績和對手較量，或者會贏得我們的支持！所以會出現提名A君，投票給B君的情形
第二重點，我們著重加快民主步伐，HK已有夠條件直選，昨天已可以，不用問2012吧！，我們IT Voice是看社會長整體利益，不會像某些人般推廣狹隘IT界利益，不願行一人一票直選，以求保住自己或學會的既得利益。Democracy delay is democracy denied.
希望你還看看我們的IT和資訊保安政綱，點點搔著癢處，花了成擔心機的！唔同意都俾你的意見，唔好剩係問我鍾意姓曾定姓梁，好嗎？

We killed a thousand trees …

Voters of sub-sector elections must have received tons of pamphlets that stuffed up their post boxes … If we assume each sub-sector has on average 16 candidates and formed two ‘tickets’, each voter would have received about 16+2 = 18 pamphlets by post. 0.2 million voters implied 3.6 million pieces of paper. We killed about [...]
