@alanwongw This bill has literally been in the works since the Joint Declaration 1984 when London and Beijing agreed it needs to be passed.
@alanwongw Really , because I can tell that article 23 has been around since 2003
@alanwongw Still not as efficient as 1997 and 1998. More work ahead.
@alanwongw Dictatorships are very good "fasttracking" things.
@alanwongw It's amazing how fast things are when a "legislature" is a mere rubber stamp for tyranny.
