As an Australian citizen, I have been interested in the many complaints against noisy televisions on Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) buses, which would have never happened in countries and cities where human rights are properly safeguarded.
I could not agree more with your correspondents C. Ng and J. Glen (South China Morning Post, August 23 and 28, respectively).
In fact, I complained to the Transport Department and KMB. KMB referred to the survey in which 65 per cent of passengers said they did not object to the RoadShow.
I then wrote to the secretariat of the Legislative Council and to the Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa. But they did not investigate my complaint and again referred to this so-called survey.
I also called the Consumer Council and the Ombudsman. Again I was told to provide concrete evidence for the complaints before they would do something.
My experiences proved to me how bureaucratic the SAR Government is and how the rights of the ordinary citizen are ignored.
