【明報專訊】THERE are some recent developments which, as they are foreign to the established beliefs and customs of Hong Kong, do not appear to the public to be right and proper. An invisible force seems to be manipulating these developments so as to carry out the will of the powers that be.

If the authorities, refusing to see reason, discard our beliefs and customs for political needs, Hong Kong will lose its competitive edge.
