Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, out to win election to the Legislative Council on Hong Kong Island, came under fire yesterday in an election forum on Commercial Radio.
Mrs Ip was asked to direct questions at a randomly picked candidate, Tsang Kin-shing, a district councillor from the League of Social Democrats, at the radio forum. But Mr Tsang asked Mrs Ip to apologise over her role in the controversial Article 23 security bill, proposed during her watch as security chief.
Mrs Ip said she had apologised in her recently published book, which had sold 5,000 copies.
Cheung Kwok-kwan of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong came up short on environmental issues when questioned by the Civic Party's Audrey Eu Yuet-mee. 'You keep talking about the Action Blue Sky campaign launched by the government. But do you know its new slogan? Do you know why the government has stopped talking about Blue Sky?' Ms Eu asked. Mr Cheung ignored her.
Ten members of the Democratic Party marched to the Central Government Offices in support of scrapping the levy on domestic helpers, which the government suspended last week.
