Keep Away, Kids

(Kar) Do you support your children to take part in the Occupy Central movement? Do you worry that students are too young to realize the aim of the civil disobedience movement, they may breach the law? Or do you think it is fair to have a “small-circle election” for the Chief Executive?

Most residents are unsatisfied the Chief Executive CY. Leung’s administration, which some top administration officials not only lack for the experience of political views but also the ability of the performance on duty. For example, the former Development Secretary, Mak Chai-kwong stepped down by the scandal of his integrity. He performed the post as a Development Secretary just 12 days. Moreover, Paul Chan who is the Secretary for Development involves the scandal of interest conflict of the northeastern New Territories development plan as well as the Sub-divided flats scheme. Worse still, Leung Chun-ying also lies on the unauthorized alternations and additions in his house. Furthermore, facing challenges, the government lacks long-term planning for improving people’s livelihood. Some complained that the new administration did not question the public before launching the policies.

A forum of Occupy Central was held by a school, which two speakers expressed their viewpoints about it. The advantage of holding the forum is that the two speechmakers’ opinions are different from each other. It makes students widen their sight on the movement; it makes them know what their rights are; and it makes them to understand they should have a positive attitude and to be open-minded to face the Occupy Central. Besides, parents seized the opportunity to attend the occasion. It may help them to realize what their kids think of the purpose of Occupy Central. Teachers should lead their students to discuss the advantage and disadvantage of democracy and universal suffrage, whether the latter intend to take part in the civil disobedience movement or not. It is time for parents and teachers to discuss the matter of Occupy Central with the youngsters.
