The 90 elected parliamentarians come from different backgrounds.
I believe and hope that in the future, (they) can do some practical things for Hong Kong through the Legislative Council.
So I expect that the future Legislative Council will be able to better represent Hong Kong’s public opinion and bring Hong Kong’s opinions from various quarters to the Legislative Council. It will have full cooperation and coordination with the executive authorities, and of course, it will also supervise our work for the sake of Hong Kong people. Do more constructive and developmental undertakings.
