[ Rigged System ] Aftermath of Historical District Council Landslide Victory: Home Affairs Department Override District Council Anyway; Councillors said Government is Extremely Disrespectful

(Editor's Note: It is not only benefiting developers and wasting taxpayers money, but also showing the world it means nothing that we won the previous election. 90% of the residents opposed to the construction; councillors voted "no"; but the corrupt practice goes on anyway.)

The motion of suspending the construction of the 53-million musical fountain was passed with 28 votes in favour and no objection in the first council meeting. However, the Home Affairs Department insisted on carrying out the project according to the contract as the budget was passed in Legislative Council Public Works Team in Nov 2018. It will continue to carry out the project according to the agreement and report to the District Council.
