Chief urged to remember poor

Tung Chee-hwa was urged to look to the Bible and not forget the plight of the poor.

The Government and business believed that people were there to serve the economy and the economy was not there to serve people, said Lee Cheuk-yan of The Frontier.

Yet Jesus told the Pharisees that the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath, Mr Lee said.

Mr Lee warned that the weak would be at the mercy of the strong in such a Darwinist society.

'The Chief Executive dreams about a cosmopolitan city while the people may have to walk to Guangzhou to find a job,' he said.

Mr Lee said the Chief Executive was only concerned about the elite, not the life-and-death problems of the public.
