Hong Kong needs another Sir Murray Maclehose
Many years ago Hong Kong had a Chief Executive known as Sir David Trench. Even before Sir David, the Public Works Department had protected holes in the road with the sign, “Trench Works Ahead.”
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is elected from a slate of nominees provided by the CCP’s Election Commission, an arrangement that is nothing short of a dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong must make good use of Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two human rights covenants to exercise their right to self-determination through referendums. The people must ensure that they protect the rights and duties they are entitled to. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
