Anthony Lee (South China Morning Post, August 31) said he is confused by my letter of August 24. Allow me to reiterate my position.
I am not joining the Selection Committee, but I will not challenge the moral intentions of others who want to join. They must do what they think is best in difficult circumstances.
On August 24, I explained that some newspapers wrongly reported that I would consider asking my constituents about whether to join the Selection Committee. That was an incorrect report. However, my letter was clear, that I had considered giving an account to my constituents about my views on the provisional legislature. Perhaps Mr Lee can now see the difference.
Mr Lee claims that the only reason I want to clarify my position is 'your shifting stance'. Here he is also mistaken.
I have a duty to my electorate to account to them on a very important issue which could result in them being disenfranchised. The provisional legislature is no ordinary issue.
At least on such an important issue I feel duty-bound to inform my constituents of my views, and how I could continue to serve them out of office.
