IN Emily Lau's reply (South China Morning Post, February 16) to John Nugee's letter (Post, February 11), Ms Lau seemed somewhat hurt and wounded; she feels attacked instead of being thanked.
Of course, it is no surprise given her limited interpretation and exposure to these sensitive issues of human rights and democracy.
Everyone has their own view on human rights, democracy and the Special Administrative Region (SAR) chief, however I am one of many others who are not personally interested to vote or to choose, or have a say in who gets chosen for the post.
Hong Kong has performed well in the past with the colonial system where rules were laid down and the people of Hong Kong lived and abided by these rules.
Surely when China takes over it should rule Hong Kong the same way as the British did.
Democracy and human rights were never heard of in the past so why the sudden introduction? Any country that is truly prosperous will always have a strong government head who lays down the rules for its citizens to abide. Singapore is a good example.
