[...] [...] still not quite "OK" yet.

The laying of electrical cables and the installation of water taps were all DIYs and the tenants had to take it upon themselves to do the work.

I found out that although I had grown older, I was still rather naive, thinking last year that the matter could be fixed.

From my preliminary impressions and feelings ― and I am looking at this matter with my subjective goodwill ― the message that the Mainland wants to give is that if Hong Kong can fix this problem, perhaps we should fix it on our own by all means.

So, President, may I ask the Secretary whether he can promise to help resolve the problem radically?

If everyone opposes the inquiry, and no inquiry is conducted, then the issue would be allowed to get by under muddled circumstances, and someone would say the Secretary should be allowed to remain in his post to serve Hong Kong; or someone would say the Secretary has noble aspirations, and that is a serious omission and so on, and then the issue could continue to be "fixed up".

Several years ago, I obtained some information and was given an assurance that an operation was already underway, that the "rice was almost cooked", and that the mission might be accomplished pretty soon.

If the power companies are run by the State, the Government can settle the problem perfectly.

Some people have even said that Hong Kong is ruled by the Judges, therefore a few years ago the mass media have been "fixed", and now they have to "fix" the Court.

If we only take the age factor into consideration, then the current practice will pose another danger, that is, as long as the parents are over 55, they need not to be unemployed, even if they are rich fathers and mothers, as long as their children maintain them, and they can enjoy the allowance.

Today, of course, there is no village to speak of in Hong Kong, but all the people living in Hong Kong are exploited by landlords or major property developers ― they are being fleeced rather than just being exploited ― buy low, sell high or buy high, then sell even higher and that would do the trick.
