The development of Northeast NT in Hong Kong

There are lot of citizens against the development plan because of damage to the ecosystem, the existing farming community and waste of urban area needed for redevelopment.

Some environment protection organizations urged to develop the nearby golf course without thinking that it is unique tournament venue for Hong Kong Open for many decades.

Though there some sessions of public consultation, the public opinion was rejected without a good reason. Thus the public anger develops for a few months.

The bundling negotiation technique used by  legislators may be annoying. However, it is not good for a government to ignore it. The government should reveal more its own principles and rationale.

On the other hand, the citizens who fights for local interests may set up a shadow cabinet to conduct a more open and sound public consultation. It can help citizens to gain more bargaining power. It also be a good chance to practice autonomy which should be legal under one country two systems. It is also what Hong Kong Autonomy Movement fights for.
